Chasing a modest 148 to win, T&T Riders got to the target with 15 balls to spare. D. Ramdin (24, 30b) and Brendon McCullum (39, 24b, 2x6, 5x4) got T&T Riders off to a flying start before McCullum fell to C.J. Green. Munro then took centre-stage, slamming his sixth fifty of the tournament, thanks to an innings studded with six boundaries and three sixes. The Kiwi batsman finished the T20 League as the highest run-scorer with 567 runs. Earlier, Dwayne Bravo won the toss and sent Amazon Warriors in to bat. Khary Pierre's (3 for 29) fiery three-wicket spell coupled with Bravo's double blows (2 for 30) broke the back of Warriors' batting. Luke Ronchi topped the runs tally with a 35-ball 44, but found little help from the other end as the Warriors lost their last four wickets for 39 runs to finish on 147.
