Put to bat first, Knight Riders looked awestruck as they lost their pinch-hitting opener Sunil Narine in the very first ball of their innings. But McCullum rampaged through alongside Colin Munro to strike a 92-run stand in just 53 deliveries. The Kiwi international laced through five boundaries and six over-the-rope shots as Trinbago amassed a massive total of 208 runs.


What remained the highlight for the crowd present at Sabina Park was McCullum's scooped six in the 12th over of their innings. Odean Smith was into the attack. The fifth ball, up the length delivery, well outside off. The 35-year-old shimmied to his right, used the pace of the ball and simply scooped it high over the wicketkeeper's head. Extraordinary, incredible, you name it...and he has got it. Even at 35, McCullum looks spectacular with the bat.
