CPL 2021: Updated points table, most runs, and most wickets after SNK Patriots vs Jamaica match
The action in the 2021 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) continued with league leaders St.Kitts and Nevis Patriots facing Jamaica Tallawahs at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. The table-toppers continued their unbeaten run by winning their fourth straight match.
After being put into bat, Jamaica Tallawahs got off to a stellar start and put up 41 runs for the first wicket midway through the powerplay. Following a series of cameos, they put up 166-7 on the board with the top score being just 27 by Carlos Brathwaite.
In reply, St.Kitts and Nevis Patriots equally matched their start, but the middle order could not capitalize on it. Their winning run was on the line with an uphill task ahead. However, a scintillating fifty by Sherfane Rutherford and a blistering 12-ball 30 run cameo by Fabian Allen meant the side reached the target comfortably with over two overs to spare.
