00:00St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots batted first in this encounter. Evan Lewis
00:04opening with Andre Fletcher. Fletcher is fast but not fast enough to get back to
00:09his wicket. Kyle Mayers joined forces with Lewis and the two batsmen had fun
00:15at the wicket. Lewis went on his way taking a part of the bowlers. Meantime
00:21Mayers got into the swing of things as well. Lewis is smacking an exact hundred.
00:38They put together the largest partnership in the 2024 edition of the
00:43Caribbean Premier League. Mayers hungry for a century. 92 would be his number
00:49though of 62 balls. Shafane Rutherford got out for a duck but 201 for three
00:55would be a competitive target. Johnson Charles and Faf Du Plessis were out to
01:00prove that 200 is now a chaseable total. It didn't work out for Charles. He was
01:05gone for 12. And Mayers looked inspired bowling after his knock of 92.
01:11Aki Mogist gone for 6. Then Anrich Nokia continued his impressive bowling
01:17performance. The belief was still there that they could chase the score. But
01:24chase was not going to be there to see it done. Kings in deep trouble on 24 for
01:30four. Banuka Rajapaskar didn't fly all the way from Sri Lanka to leave his team
01:35in a mess. And Tim Seyfoort got the memo from New Zealand that there was runs to
01:40be made. So what was the plan? Score quickly and get some luck.
01:45And that they did. Rajapaskar was putting the hurt on his opponents. Seyfoort
01:52was equal to the task until he did his job. And when he got out for 64 his team
02:00were on 127 for five after 10 overs. They still had work to do.
02:06David Visser finished on 34 in what was an important innings. 34 not out from 20
02:12balls. Tabrez Shamsi went at 20 runs and over in the two overs he bowled.
02:17Rajapaskar not out on 68 as he takes his team to victory. 200 and 2 for 5 from
02:2417.2 overs. Still had gas in the tank. The Kings beat the Patriots by five
02:30wickets. Sijuru 4, TV6 board.
