Carribean Premier League 2018: Top 5 Performances of the First Week

#2 Carlos Brathwaite (St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots) - 41 (15) and 2/19 vs Trinbago Knight Riders, 5th Match

Brathwaite put up an all-round show

Carlos Brathwaite was at his destructive best against Trinbago Knight Riders. First, he smashed a 15-ball 41 to catapult the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots to a score beyond 200. Then, he bowled a superb spell of four overs, conceding just 19 runs while also picking up the crucial wicket of Colin Munro as one of his two scalps.

The Windies' T20I captain tore apart the TKR attack, striking as many as 5 sixes in an innings which ensured that his side went into the break on a high. Tasked with opening the bowling for the Patriots, he bowled disciplined line and lengths to suck out the momentum of TKR's chase and set up a 42-run win for the team.

Brathwaite was unlucky to not be named man-of-the-match, as that honour went to Devon Thomas for his 34-ball 58.
