Mohali: Scoreboard after Hobart Hurricanes defeated the Caribbean champions Barbados Tridents by 6 wickets in the 16th match and qualified for the semifinals of 2014 CLT20 played at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali on Sunday.
Chasing 114, Hobart were no tearing hurry as they chased down the target with 10 balls to spare. With 12 points from four games, Hobart Hurricanes confirmed one of the two semi-final spots from group B.
Shoaib Malik anchored the chasse to perfection with a responsible unbeaten knock of 39 off 35 balls with three boundaries.
He added 46 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket stand with Jonathan Wells (23 no).
There were some minor jitters felt in the Hobart camp after they were reduced to 71 for four in the 13th over but with asking rate less than seven, it was never going to be a problem for the Aussies.
