Earlier SLK had Keemo Paul a lot to thank for after electing to bat. At the end of the 16th over, the score read a far from satisfactory 107 for five. Paul had other ideas in the last four overs, putting his long handle to blazing effect; the speedster struck five well-timed sixes that propelled the…

Earlier, Bravo continued with his trusted method of putting the opponents to bat first. A knockout game requires one top-order batter to go right through the innings. There were many starts but none big enough to bat the opposition out of the game. Brendon King and Hemraj both fell at 27 and it took some…

Earlier, playing a much different combination in their final league game, SKNP did well to muster a slightly below par 147. Evin Lewis, the centurion in the previous game was rested and that allowed Chris Gayle to open. Joshua Da Silva finally got a good innings in and duly registered a 50. Sherfane Rutherford and…

The good news for SKNP arrived early when Dwayne Bravo walked out for the toss. The strategy to chase down a target continued. The new ball duo of Sheldon Cottrell and Naseem Shah justified the decision by keeping things tight. For a top-order blessed with numerous names who can win a game off their own…

The downward trend continued for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots as they lost their third successive game in the ongoing CPL.

The hosts complete their league engagements with back-to-back games against defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders. Led by…

There is a reason why captains stress on ‘Momentum’ in T20 Leagues around the world. Once a team hits winning form it’s generally carrying on the good work from there. At the other end of the axis, teams have also derailed losing steam towards the business end of the tournament. St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots…

It took an extraordinary knock from the experienced blade of Faf du Plessis to finally stop the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots juggernaut in the ongoing CPL. Electing to field, the table toppers were stunned by the consistent assault from the South African and later by Roston Chase. The dynamic duo propelled the score to…

Not the usual suspects nor their preferred craft yet there was no stopping the SKNP Juggernaut in the CPL. Chasing a formidable 161 to win, the table toppers found new heroes in Sheldon Cottrell and Dominic Drakes albeit with the bat to pull off a last ball heist over Barbados Royals. For those crunching numbers,…

Bravo must be happy for the fact his bowlers did not allow a power hitting combination like Jamaica to run away with a bigger score. The think tank would have expected a tighter all-round effort on the field. The last five going for 54 ensured Jamaica were a touch happier at the break. A score…
