At the post match presentation Knight Riders' skipper teased his Tridents counterpart Kieron Pollard by dancing on his chart buster song 'champion'. 


Pollard was clearly not amused and pushed Bravo out of his way.

The Knight Riders' run chase got off to a bad start as they lost Brendon McCullum and Colin Munro early and were reduced to 28 for 2 after 3.3 overs.  


The Knight Riders were in a dicey position at 76/4 but Narine (79) put on 63 with Dwayne Bravo to take the home team to their 4th victory in five matches.


Shoaib Malik (51) and Kane Williamson (30) were the foundation of the Barbados Tridents 152/6, despite Narine and Shadab Khan collectively accounting for 1/37 in eight overs.


Narine hit six fours and five sixes in a 45-ball innings which easily surpassed his previous best of 54 but he and his colleagues were dropped several times in a wretched Tridents fielding effort. 


Invited to bat by Dwayne Bravo, the Tridents totalled 152/9 in their 20 overs.
