He was unbeaten on 54 and TKR captain Kieron Pollard was not out on 41.

The Tridents had a good start with Johnson Charles who got to his half century from 33 run before he was bowled by Fawad Ahmed.
Also getting into double figures was Shai Hope, Jason Holder and Ashley Nurse.
However, it proved futile as they could only muster 166 runs in their 20 over innings.
Monroe was named player of the match.
