Commentry
Right then, Saint Lucia Kings have sealed a dominating win. The action in the Caribbean Premier League continues. On Sunday, the 18th of September, it will be Trinbago Knight Riders up against Jamaica Tallawahs. That game will begin at 4.30 am IST (11 pm GMT, the previous day). Then we have Barbados Royals playing against Guyana Amazon Warriors. That match is set to begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But as you all know our build-up for the games will begin in advance. Do join us then. For now, it's goodbye and cheers!
Dwayne Bravo, the captain of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, regrets the fact that they didn't utilize the conditions after winning the toss. Tells that his job as a captain is to keep backing the players and he will try to bring some positive energy to the dressing room. Admits that it's a bad patch for them but he wants his players to stay positive and enjoy the game as he believes that the results will take care of themselves.
Faf du Plessis, the captain of Saint Lucia Kings, says that on a wicket like this, you need to get ahead in the game as it slows down after the Powerplay. He praises David Wiese for his exceptional bowling and finds his line and length amazing. Feels that if every player keeps on contributing, his job as a captain becomes easier.
Player of the Match is David Wiese for his all-round performance! Says that they batted well in the Powerplay. Praises Faf du Plessis for his breezy knock and Johnson Charles for taking it forward. Tells that they knew the pitch is going to get slower and lower, so if they bowl well, they will defend it. Adds that he planned not to offer any pace to the batters and it worked. Wants his team to keep this momentum going and stay in the hunt for longer.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
It was yet another flop show from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in this edition. They were too loose with the ball and their batting in one word can be defined as insipid. Chasing a tough target, their start was decent but losing both the openers in a matter of three balls was a huge setback. They never recovered and David Wiese's spell was a telling blow to their chances of any recovery. His bowling figures, 4-1-8-3, speak volumes about not just his performance but also the dominance of the Kings. Dewald Brevis was the only batter to put up a fight, but in front of a huge task, his contribution was not enough.
Commanding victory for Saint Lucia Kings to do the double over the defending champions this season. They were right on the money with both the bat and ball and completely outclassed St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in every facet of the game. With two big wins, Saint Lucia Kings have boosted their NRR as they climb up on the points table.

OUT! CAUGHT! St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have been bowled out on the last delivery of the inning! Kesrick Williams serves this short and outside off, Akila Dananjaya finally connects his slog shot but does not get a hold of it. The ball goes towards long on and David Wiese runs to his left to take an easy catch. He should keep the ball as he has been outstanding in this game and was one of the players responsible for this massive 49-run win!
