Russell wielded the bat with purpose during his knock against the Knight Riders

In the Qualifier 2, the Jamaica Tallawahs faced off against the Trinbago Knight Riders for a spot in the Final against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Even though the Tallawahs got off to an aggressive start, they found themselves struggling at 67 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 10 overs before Andre Russell began his show.

In a must-win game, the West Indies player pulled out his best performance of this season, scoring 11 sixes and 3 boundaries to reach his maiden century for the Tallawahs.

Russell’s innings helped the Tallawahs to reach 195 in 20 overs. The game got reduced to 12 overs due to a rain delay and in reply, the Knight Riders ended at 110 for the loss of 7 wickets. Russell starred in the bowling as well, picking up a couple of wickets while conceding 27 runs in 3 overs. Russell was awarded the Man of the Match as he secured a spot in the Final for the Tallawahs.
