CPL 2019: Best XI of the tournament
The Tridents became champions for the second time while the Warriors slumped to their fifth defeat in the final out of seven seasons.
Harry Gurney (Barbados Tridents)
Harry Gurney was roped in by the Tridents after it was known that Dan Christian won’t be a part of the tournament. The left-arm seamer’s inclusion turned out to be a master-stroke as he turned out to be their most frugal bowler with an economy of 6.16.
Gurney was mostly given the responsibility of bowling at the death and the opposition batters found it tough to encounter his change of pace. The batsmen had to make all the pace while hitting shots and on sticky surfaces, it was almost impossible to milk him for runs.
In eight matches, Gurney picked up 13 wickets at an average of 14.69 and strike-rate of 14.3. His best bowling figures of 3/17 came against the Zouks in Bridgetown. The left-arm seamer also played a crucial role in the Qualifier 1 and the Final, getting four wickets.
