CPL 2023 Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: Brandon King and Salman Irshad lead the charts – Updated after Match 13

The 13th match of the 2023 CPL unfolded between Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals on August 31 at Bridgetown, Barbados. The day certainly belonged to Martin Guptill who smashed a record-breaking ton of 100* (58) to floor Barbados Royals singlehandedly in CPL’s biggest victory.

Trinbago Knight Riders have convincingly routed Barbados Royals in today’s fixture. It was a truly exceptional performance from them with both bat and ball by the Knight Riders. They hardly put a foot wrong, as Guptill and Pollard teeded off to help TRK post a gigantic total of 194. Barbados Royals started off on a disastrous note with the bat losing too many early wickets. Only Holder, Powell, and Ahmad managed to reach double figures while the rest of the scorecard looked rather dismal.

Waqar Salamkheil had a dream debut, grabbing four wickets, while Russell triggered panic with three crucial scalps, dismissing Cornwall on the first delivery of the innings. Hosein took two wickets, and Narine chipped in with one as well.

The climbing required rate was a constant headache and the Royals had no answer to it. There weren't many partnerships in the middle and no rebuilding after the early loss of wickets which saw the Royals prematurely getting bundled out for just 61.
