00:00Antigua and Barbuda Falcons were put into bat by the St. Lucia Kings in their
00:03Republic Bank CPL game at the Sir Vivian Richard Stadium. Justin Graves and
00:08Fakhar Zaman opened the batting and put on 35 for the first wicket.
00:15Graves went on to top score at 36 while Zaman chipped in at 21. It was by no means easy
00:20for the Falcons who lost their first three games. Afghan left-arm spinner
00:25Noor Ahmed was the most lethal bowler. He went on to grab 3 for 18 from his
00:29four overs. All-rounder Imad Waseem played a decent role with Willow in hand
00:35by chipping in with an unbeaten 29. The Falcons would eventually close on 142
00:41for 7 from their 20 overs.
00:48When the St. Lucia Kings responded, captain Fab Duplessis started off
00:52aggressively. He was caught for 28 giving Imad Waseem the wicket. That made it 36
00:57for 1. After that the other opener in Johnson-Charles would shine with a
01:04bat. It became 62 for 2 as Banuka Rajapaksa was out to
01:12captain Chris Green for 9. But Charles was playing his shots as the Kings had
01:17their noses in front.
01:21Akeem Ogeist played a cameo getting 27 with two maximums. He was LBW to
01:31Fabian Allen making it 116 for 3. In came Tim Seifert to destroy left-arm
01:38pacer Mohamed Amir. He completely thrashed the man from Pakistan
01:44dealing mainly in boundaries. That overwent for 24 with Seifert making it
01:50game set and match. He was unbeaten on 26 of 11 deliveries while Charles was
01:55not out on 47. St. Lucia Kings got to 144 for 3 in 17 overs for their second
02:01straight win.
