00:00Patriots up against the Kings. Earlier it was won by Faf du Plessis. No surprises, no hesitation.
00:08Want to go up front in the field first.
00:15It's off straight away.
00:19In. So, this is go to. Cricket lovers are knowledgeable.
00:24They're all going to take two. Got to be quick. Fletcher.
00:27I think they're going to have to check this.
00:29Let's have a look. Seifert keeping very, very tight.
00:34When do the Zinger bales light up?
00:37And I think that's out because we talk about the bale being dislodged.
00:41With the Zinger bales, it's when they first light up.
00:45Oh, it's a terrible start to the season for Fletcher at home.
00:50Two on the board. They're already one down.
00:58Thick edge. It goes away towards the boundary.
01:03Looked like the ball almost stuck in his hand there, Gouveia.
01:09Oh, no. The extra ball goes for six.
01:15Onto that very quickly.
01:18Must pick up length early.
01:23More power on display from Evan Lewis.
01:28Oh, my goodness. He put everything behind that.
01:32And it sounded so good off the bat.
01:37Oh, oh, oh. Oh, just enough for Mears.
01:42Go for four might be just what he needs.
01:45A little ounce of luck. He didn't have it last night.
01:50That has been creamed.
01:52This is a dangerous looking Kyle Mears tonight.
01:57Shot really well placed.
02:02With the win.
02:04And it carries it over the boundary for six.
02:09Off the back foot. Wow, that is power. Serious power.
02:16Monstrous. Oh, wow. Three sixes in the over.
02:21Yeah, he had the freedom, Lewis, to go down the ground because mid-off was up.
02:25It brings up a first CPL 50 in 16 innings.
02:33Really good. This has been such a good innings from Evan Lewis.
02:36The job is far from finished, but great start.
02:41When he is in this mode, he is extremely hard to stop.
02:45The middle was up.
02:47That's fuck duplicity.
02:48And all he can do is turn and watch it sail over his head.
02:55He's an opportunity for runs and to break the shackles.
02:58Fifty for Kyle Mears.
03:04Walking on to the back foot and using all his power to clear the rope.
03:09Wow, that's a wonderful stroke.
03:12That's gone a long, long way.
03:14They just keep hitting them further and further.
03:20Not too much of a follow through, but he's just punched it a long way over the boundary.
03:26Kyle Mears, and that is a shot of beauty.
03:30And what an effort for the catch.
03:32And what an effort for the catch.
03:35Pfaff has work to do and he can't get there.
03:37Even Pfaff, one of the best in the world.
03:43Huge.
03:44Into the wind, not into the wind.
03:46It doesn't matter at Warner.
03:50Went Yorker again, but it just tells you the margins of error in this sport.
03:57He's going to get it.
03:58He's going to get it.
03:59He's going to get it.
04:00It just tells you the margins of error in this sport.
04:06This man is so powerful.
04:08It is ridiculous.
04:10He's on 97.
04:15Very straight, and again, mid-off is up.
04:18So good awareness from Kyle Rico Mears.
04:24Yeah, it was wider.
04:26I don't think he'll be too upset with that, Joseph, because that was the plan.
04:29But it's just gone all the way of the Patriots tonight.
04:34There it is.
04:36It will be a second CPL 100 for Evan Lewis.
04:40And another at Warner Park.
04:42A kingdom he has ruled now for a decade.
04:46Lewis and St. Kitts, a special connection.
04:54Is this a chance? It is.
04:55It's well judged, you know.
04:57Gavia on the boundary, so Mears can't get to his 100.
05:01And critically, since we've come back, three runs, four runs, and a wicket.
05:07Yeah, and it cuts off that partnership for another milestone.
05:10199 off 1-2-3 deliveries.
05:13The wonderful hand from Kyle Mears, nonetheless.
05:18Check out the smart catch.
05:22Very well judged indeed.
05:24Gavia, that is a cracker.
05:27Again, given what has happened with the stop-start nature with the rain delay.
05:30Mears gets that fabulous innings of 92 off 62.
05:34And the Patriots now lose their second at 2-0-1.
05:40And this is the skill set and execution at the back end he's done for so many years.
05:48Yeah, 100%, Nicole.
05:50Can't blame Rutherford trying to be cute, trying to manufacture something,
05:54given there's only two balls left.
05:56There's now only one ball left of the innings.
05:59David Visa with a new haircut.
06:01He's cut off the locks.
06:03Gone for a bit more streamlined these days.
06:07Seam up.
06:09Yeah, just trying to get it in the hole.
06:11Pretty good indeed.
06:14Golden one for Rutherford.
06:15Sacrifices himself and away.
06:17Misses out.
06:18What a final over that is from David Visa.
06:21Two wickets and just three runs.
06:23Visa was certainly outstanding with that final over.
06:27The finish with two for 29.
06:30Very good indeed.
06:31Yeah, the record-breaking partnership between Mears and Lewis.
06:34Two wickets in the end for Visa.
06:36Nour Amadou and the team going at ten runs and over.
06:39His economy, five.
06:41Brilliant.
06:43There's that lateral movement.
06:45But there's the first boundary as well.
06:50Very good.
06:51Very good adjustment from Johnson Charles.
06:53We haven't always seen this against Spin.
06:55But he's still advancing his game.
06:59That has been timed immaculately.
07:05Inward movement yet again.
07:07It works again.
07:09Inward movement yet again.
07:11It works against Charles.
07:12And what a night Kyle Mears is having for his Patriots team.
07:17El Dorado celebration.
07:19Dangerous Johnson Charles.
07:21Looking for a boundary early in the over.
07:23Just hitting the wrong line.
07:25Not making the accommodation for that inward movement from Kyle Mears.
07:33Deep third can get there.
07:36Catch it. Catch it.
07:37Deep third.
07:39Takes it.
07:40Gets to it this time.
07:42Kyle Mears.
07:44Electric night at Warner Park.
07:46Didn't have a lot of time to get himself in.
07:48Didn't take the time to get himself in.
07:50The youngster.
07:51Bit of an experience too.
07:53But the outcome, the second wicket for the Patriots now.
07:56And more pressure on the Kings.
08:00Catch it.
08:02Hasn't got it.
08:03But it's never easy running over your shoulder.
08:05Oh my goodness.
08:07What a blinder from Kyle Mears.
08:11He can do nothing wrong tonight.
08:13That is spectacular.
08:14Had to keep his eyes on the ball.
08:18Ensure that he was looking at the ball over his shoulders.
08:21He was running back.
08:23Again, catching here at Warner Park in the night.
08:27Poses a challenge.
08:28A significant challenge.
08:32Oh, knocks him over.
08:34Nokia has been special in this year's Republic Bank CPL.
08:38It is all happening for the Patriots tonight.
08:41And they are putting on a show for St. Kitts.
08:43Nokia was a standout bowler in the last game against Srimbego Knight Riders
08:47when it was absolute carnage.
08:53Races to the boundary.
08:54And it's pin drop silence every time the ball goes to the boundary here.
09:01This could be another.
09:02Drake's under it.
09:05Puts it down.
09:06It was swirling.
09:07Didn't get a hand on it.
09:12Well, that has been pounced.
09:17Oh, that's beautiful.
09:18You can't get it much straighter than that.
09:23Digs it into the surface.
09:24And Seifert picks up the length quick enough to dispatch that for six.
09:32Now out into the leg side just behind square.
09:36And to add salt to the wounds.
09:38It's a no ball from Shumsey.
09:42Use of the feet.
09:43And takes full advantage of the free hit.
09:49Raja Paksa.
09:51Once more adding to the partnership and to the total.
09:57Oh, this is unbelievable hitting by Tim Seifert.
10:01And his first game for the St. Lucia Kings.
10:03He has a half century.
10:06Oh, no.
10:07But if you're going to bowl like that, you're not helping yourself at all.
10:12Full drives.
10:14And four.
10:17This is key.
10:18He's got two men back there.
10:19But he's bowled something wide and short.
10:21And it's gone for four.
10:25Oh, Mears.
10:26Mears, yes.
10:27The man can do no wrong tonight.
10:31And Odin Smith gets the wicket.
10:33And a big one.
10:40This will be four.
10:44He missed his length badly there, Ryan John.
10:47It's too easy at the moment.
10:52That is huge.
10:56This could be more.
10:57It will be more.
11:01Oh, through the hands of Mika Lui.
11:04And it's 50 for Manuka Raja Paksa.
11:06Having a spectacular year in T20 cricket.
11:09And it continues here in the Caribbean.
11:14David Visser loves it leg side.
11:17Anytime he gets an opportunity, he will put it away.
11:23Step down the crease.
11:25And this is massive.
11:27That's huge.
11:28Just four required now.
11:32Leg side again.
11:33There's been a lot of that.
11:35And the St. Lucia Kings can celebrate victory here in St. Kitts.
11:39They've won the Battle of the Saints.
11:42It's their highest chase in the CPL.
11:45And the fifth highest successful chase in the history of the tournament.
11:50It's been a great victory for the St. Lucia Kings.
11:54More than enough for St. Lucia Kings to make sure they could get over the line.
