Commentary

So that was that from our side. This is my partner Pradeep Somashekar and myself (Abhinav Singh) signing off for the day. Do join us early in the morning as we bring to you another enticing contest from the colourful CPL. Until then, stay safe, stay indoors, do get vaccinated, if you haven't already. Goodnight and goodbye!

Faf du Plessis (Losing Captain): I think our bowling was rusty. Lot of guys came with no cricket practice. Of course, as we talked before the game, the wind is a big factor here. When you are chasing a big total like 250, you have to go hard. It either comes off or you lose a lot of wickets. Execution and planning, both let us down. It is the great thing about this game, you can learn from it.

Rovman Powell (Winning Captain): Satisfied. After last year's performance where he struggled at the back end. It is satisfying. We just hope that he (Russell) continues like this. We are not going to get carried away. Keep getting better. I think once you get a start, with the short boundary and strong wind factor, you can score the runs

Andre Russell (Player of the Match): The platform had been set and I could play my shots. As a big hitter, I am used to coming down the order and do what I do best. When I get a chance with the bat, I definitely try to put runs on the board. It is a small ground. When I bowled the short ball, I kinda jerked my ankle. Few months I've been going around with it. When I go back to the hotel, I'll look at it. We have a game tomorrow

Jamaica Tallawahs win by 120 runs

A dominating and a thumping win for Tallawahs as they blow away the St. Lucia Kings rather comprehensively. Their campaign could not have been off to a better start and it would be difficult to emulate a performance as such. However, when a team has a marauder in Andre Russell by their side, one reckons, they might be able to weave the same magic again.

The match was done and dusted at the end of first innings. The blitzkrieg from Russell had destroyed the spirits, hopes and aspirations of Kings'. Although, Rahkeem Cornwall, the big unit of a man came out hot, in fact incredibly sizzling hot, tonking the first three balls out of the park but his tactics of playing with fire quickly engulfed him and he was forced to return to the pavilion on the fourth ball.

While he gave a good start and many would have thought that Kings would go hard at the target, the reality check dawned in quickly as du Plessis departed in the dame over, feathering one behind the stumps where Fletcher took an acrobatic catch.

After the skipper departed, the wheels started coming off the innings as a procession ensued. Roston Chase, Andre Fletcher, Mark Deyal -- none of the batsmen could handle the pressure and perished in quick succession..

The only bright spot for Kings amid the misery of today was the performance of debutant Tim David who smashed his maiden fifty and gave a good account of himself. Other than him, no other Kings' batter could hang around long and in the end, the team even failed to play the full quota of 20 overs.

The pick of the bowlers was Migael Pretorius who picked up a maiden four-fer on his debut. He looks like a bright prospect and certainly a good investment made by the think tank of Tallawahs

18.0

17.3 Imran Khan to Obed McCoy, OUT! CAUGHT! GAME SET AND MATCH! Drags it short on the middle and off as McCoy on the backfoot looks to power it over long-on but hits it straight down the long-on fielder's throat who takes a good catch around the ropes and they annihilated the St Lucia Kings in this game and starts off the tournament in a grand style!

17.2 Imran Khan to Obed McCoy, OH! Flights it and turns back into McCoy on the off-stump as he stays on the backfoot to tap it to the point fielder for no run.

Final rites being performed. Wahab hacks across the line, only to see his leg stump obliterated. Obed McCoy, LHB, is the last man in at no. 11

17.1 Imran Khan to Wahab Riaz, OUT! TIMBER! Tosses it up into Riaz, goes straight as Riaz plays for the spin that wasn't there as he loos to hoick that one away across the line and misses, goes through to rattle the leg-stump in the end.

Iman Khan [2-0-7-1] to bowl his penultimate over

Powell bowled a flurry of wides in the last over and now he gets pumped by Wahab for a hat-trick of boundaries. Not a bad time to get your worst bowling performance out of the way. The tournament ahead could be challenging and Tallawahs can't afford him bowling such pies

16.6 Rovman Powell to Kesrick Williams, low full toss on the off-stump and Williams hangs back to drill it to the short extra-cover fielder for no run.

16.5 Rovman Powell to Wahab Riaz, nails the yorker this time on the fifth stump line and Riaz goes low to squeeze it into the vacant cover region for a quick single as Powell himself gives a chase to collect!

16.4 Rovman Powell to Wahab Riaz, FOUR! Comes around the wicket now, misses out on that yorker again, full and Riaz slices that one just over the jumping cover fielder for another boundary.

16.3 Rovman Powell to Wahab Riaz, FOUR MORE! Overpitches again on the wide of off-stump and Riaz goes on his knee to smack that one over the cover region this time for another boundary, one bounce into the fence.

16.2 Rovman Powell to Wahab Riaz, FOUR! Too full and just misses out on the yorker as Riaz opens the face of the blade to carve it over the backward point region for a boundary.

16.1 Rovman Powell to Wahab Riaz, yorker that he lands just inside the tramlines as Riaz looks to hoick as he reaches for it and misses, through to the keeper.

Rovman Powell [1-0-14-0] to bowl his second from over the wicket

Permaul bowls testing line and length throughout the over. And the two Kings batsmen appear intent to bat out the full quota of 20 overs. Perhaps, they want to frustrate the bowling line up. Not sure, they will be frustrated though. The Tallawahs are relaxed after putting in a dominating performance
