00:00into the line-up.
00:02Barbidas Royals won the toss and told Antigua and Barbida Falcons to have a hit in their
00:06Republic Bank CPL match at the Kensington Oval.
00:09Brandon King and Justin Graves opened the batting for their side.
00:16The two had a partnership that was worth 55 for the first wicket.
00:23King was stumped for 27 with the South African combination of Quentin de Kock and Keshav
00:27Maharaj making it happen.
00:31Sam Billings joined Graves and the Englishman had a reasonable day at the office.
00:35Graves and Billings were putting valuable runs on the board and also building a solid
00:39partnership.
00:43Billings made 56 during their stand that was worth 92.
00:51Jason Holder was the man to remove both Billings and then Fabian Allen for one.
00:56Also taking two wickets was Afghan pacer Naveenul Haq.
01:02Shamar Springer hit the last ball for four to take the Falcons to 176-5.
01:07Opener Graves hit 61 not out and therefore carried the bat.
01:12When the Barbidas Royals responded, Rakeem Cornwall's impetuous stroke led to his departure
01:16for a duck.
01:20Quentin de Kock and Alec Athonese had to repair the early damage.
01:27Their partnership yielded 72 runs for the second wicket.
01:35The Falcons would strike again with a collision between the two batters resulting in Billings
01:40running out Athonese for 34.
01:43Would de Kock be able to get the Royals over the line?
01:50No he couldn't, that's because he was caught by the keeper of Rochon Primers for 48.
01:56Captain Robin Powell would then put some valuable runs on the board.
02:02And so too would David Miller with the weather set to spoil the party.
02:09The game was called off when the Barbidas Royals were 127-3 after 14.3 overs.
02:15They were ahead on the DLS method winning the clash by 10 runs.
