Carter and Santner remained unbeaten on 42 and 35 respectively.

The Tridents' spinners then came into play and were able to maintain a stranglehold over the Tallahwahs.
In the end, Russell's 54 off just 28 balls, including four boundaries and five sixes, took Tallahwahs' score past the 160-run mark.
