00:00Barbados Royals won the toss and put St Kitts and Nevis Patriots into bat in the
00:06Republic Bank CPL match in Bridgetown. Naveen Ul Haq sent Evan Lewis back to the
00:10dugout for six. He had to go after it but he falls into the hands. Skipper
00:16Andrew Fletcher played a cameo top scoring with 32. No need to look at that
00:19that's Fletcher. Naveen Ul Haq took his second wicket by removing Kyle Mayers for
00:24one. Hasn't got it at all Kyle Mayers a full toss. Then Rakim Cornwall joined the
00:29party by taking two from his first two balls to make it 49 for 4. Cornwall
00:37then took his third as Wanilu Hasaranga also played a reckless shot and
00:40headed back to the dugout. Could be a third for Rakim Cornwall who loves.
00:45Cornwall went on to grab a fifer with Alec Athenaeus taking a beauty in the
00:50deep to make it happen 69 for 8. Joshua De Silva and Enric Norquia made sure
00:57that the Patriots got to triple figures with a partnership of 39. Norquia was
01:01caught for 22 giving Naveen Ul Haq his third wicket and Obed McCoy removed De
01:08Silva for 25 to end with 2 as the Patriots capitulated for 110 from 19.1
01:13overs. When the Barbados Royals responded Quinton De Kock and Kadeem
01:18Allain opened the innings. They were feasting on the bowling with the
01:25target being a small one. They put on 57 in 5.4 overs
01:34which meant more than half the runs were already scored. Allain was outlegged
01:39before to Hasaranga for 25. It was only given following the use of DRS
01:43resulting in the umpire's dreaded finger going up. In came Athenaeus who got
01:51off the mark first ball with a boundary. The two left-handers had an
01:57unbroken stand with 56 for the second wicket. Talk about an anticlimactic
02:04finish as five wides from Ryan John took the Royals over the line. They canted to
02:10113 for 1 in just 11.2 overs to earn a facile 9 wicket win with De Kock
02:16unbeaten on 59 and Athenaeus 22. They are also into the playoffs.
