Pitch Report

For this pitch, because of deterioration, we will have significant turn. For the morning matches, there will be more turn. Jason Holder was dismissed by Roston Chase that turned 6 degrees. You can win batting first as well as bowling first. Batters need to minimise dot deliveries. Bowlers have dominated here and the batters will be under focus, reckons Daren Ganga.

Commentary

So, Saint Lucia Kings move to the top of the table with the win here over Barbados Royals while the Royals are on the third spot courtesy the result. We will be back in a few hours time with TKR taking on SNKP in the next match but for now this is Sourabh and Maanas taking your leave, good bye!

Faf du Plesis (Saint Lucia Kings captain): I think it was the best today (the pitch). We thought it would be the the worst today with 4 games being played. Really proud of the guys, it was an incredible effort specially with the start. We though of getting 130-140, it was a good effort to get to 160, even though we could have gone for a bit more looking back at it now. The message was to limit the damage in the powerplay, quite a few boundaries hit to one side with the wind. We kept getting wickets and it was awesome from our bowlers. Ackeem is a really good young player, specially against spin, there are talks of him being in the team (West Indies) to go to the subcontinent (laughs). I think he will be a proper player specially in the longer format.

Rovman Powell (Barbados Royals): I think it was a case of too many runs, we gave away 60 runs in the last 4 overs. It was unacceptable on that kind of a wicket. It is upto us to identify the areas and improve on them, We always knew that the powerplay was going to be really important (with the bat) but it was not easy against the spinners in the middle. Rakheem was unable to open due to his knee issue, good that Alleyne made good use of the opportunity at the top. It will be an important match (against Guyana), we will be looking to improve and put up a good show.

Johnson Charles (Player of the Match): We played yesterday and we saw how it played, very slow. The plan was to stay in the middle and capitalise on the matchups. (Switch hit) It was something I had to put in my game because it was no secret that left handers were troubling me. It's not perfect yet but I am going to continue adding stuff to my game. To be honest, I'm at the point of my career where it's all about experience taking over. On these kind of surfaces, your role changes.

Saint Lucia Kings win by 13 runs and do the double over Barbados Royals

Johnson Charles 53(41) | David Wiese 2/17 (3)
Kadeem Alleyne 47(25) | Nyeem Young 1/13 (1)

It was a stiff target set by the Kings and in the end they emerge as winners with a comfortable 13-run margin over the Royals, their second win over them in as many days taking them to the top of the points table.

Chasing 163, Barbados Royals were off the blocks in a rapid way with openers de Kock and Alleyne blazing away in the powerplay. They got to 50 inside the 4th over and threatened to take the game away from the Kings.

However, Alzarri struck dismissing de Kock once again and from there on the things turned altogether. Cornwall walked in at 3 and got stuck at the crease, the Royals lost all the momentum and even Alleyne lost his rhythm.

Wickets kept falling in regular intervals post then as the Kings' spinners got into their work in the middle overs. Athanaze and Miller got together for the fifth wicket and tried to get the Royals back into the contest. But as soon as Miller was dismissed by Noor in the 16th over it proved really tough for the Royals.

They left a bit too much for the slog overs and the likes of David Wiese and Joseph used all their experience in the death for the Kings to get them past the line comfortably putting the cutters and the slower deliveries to good use and denying any pace to the batters which made boundary-hitting really tough for someone like Holder who was left with too much to do.

19.6 David Wiese to Maheesh Theekshana, length ball outside off, Theekshana slices it in the air. It lands safely as the batters take a single. And the Kings secure a 13-run win

19.5 David Wiese to Maheesh Theekshana, full and outside off, Theeshana shuffles across a long, long way and tries to scoop it but misses

Just 2 legal deliveries needed for the Kings to seal the win, 15 needed off 2 balls

19.4 David Wiese to Keshav Maharaj, very full and outside off, Maharaj shuffles across and works it into the leg side for a single

Keshav Maharaj, RHB, walks out with 16 needed off 3

That should be the game for the Kings right there, Holder tried his best but it wasn't simply to be for him. He walks back and so do the hopes for Royals you would imagine

19.3 David Wiese to Jason Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! A slower ball outside off, Holder stands tall and looks to go big downtown. Ends up slicing it in the air and long off runs in to take a good catch!

Jason Holder c Khary Pierre b David Wiese 16(13b, 2x4, 0x6).

Streaky but the Royals would not mind it even a bit, 16 off 4 now

19.2 David Wiese to Jason Holder, FOUR! EDGED! There's the first of the four that they need! Full and outside off, Holder looks to go over covers but gets an outside edge that goes past the keeper and runs away to the boundary!

Holder on strike and it is all up to him now for the Royals, 20 needed off 5 balls

19.1 David Wiese to Maheesh Theekshana, full and outside off, slower through the air, Theekshana shuffles across and works it into the leg side for a single

Exceptional stuff from Alzarri, just 6 off the 19th and no single off the final ball also means that Holder will not be on strike for the start of the final over. Ideal result for the Kings who are the favorites now, 21 needed off the final over
