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.
Hayden Walsh Jr (Barbados Tridents)
Hayden Walsh Jr wasn’t a regular member of the Tridents when Sandeep Lamichhane was there. The tweaker played only two out of the first six matches and got four wickets. But once the Nepal leg-spinner left for national duties, Walsh started inflicting mayhem on the opposition with his bag of tricks.
In his third game, he picked the bones out of the Knight Riders’ batting with a five-wicket haul. After only six games, he went to the top of the wicket-takers’ list with 17 wickets. In every other game, the USA tweaker picked up wickets and made a significant impact.
It was only in the Final that he could only manage a solitary wicket, which showed how much authority he had over the batsmen in the T20 league. Walsh was a bit expensive with an economy of 8.28, but finished with 22 wickets.
