Pollard initially needed to place a further fielder contained in the ring for the 18th over and subsequently one other needed to be pulled in from the boundary through the penultimate over, leading to solely three outfield gamers.
Regardless of these measures, Trinbago remained behind the required scoring charge getting into the ultimate over. Spinner Sunil Narine needed to go away the sector as a consequence of those circumstances.
“To be sincere, it’s going to take away the exhausting work everybody has performed,” Pollard mentioned.
“We’re just like the pawns and we’re going to do what we’re advised.
“We’re going to play as quick as we will. If you’re penalised for 30-45 seconds in a event like this, it’s completely ridiculous.”
Regardless of the ultimate over of the Patriots’ innings costing Trinbago’s Dwayne Bravo 18 runs, it didn’t show essential.
Pollard, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell made brief work of a 179-run goal with 17 balls spare.
