CPL 2023 Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: Brandon King and Matthew Forde top the charts

Day 4 of the 2023 CPL edition ended in utter disappointment. It was a day completely dominated by rain as two games that were supposed to be played at the same venue were washed out. The crowd could not see a great deal of live action and had to return home with a sense of abject resentment.

Trinbago Knight Riders could only bat three overs before rain descended in full swing. The ground staff and the match officials worked round the clock to get the ground in shape. But as soon as the second bout of rain started, umpires had no other choice but to call off the game with immediate effect.

The second game of the game between Saint Lucia Kings and Guyana Amazon Warriors also met a similar fate. The game was eventually shortened to five overs per side and Guyana Amazon Warriors were able to complete their first innings with a score of 56/2. But rain commenced again during the innings break which completely finished any possibility of further play on this day.
