CPL 2021: Updated points table, most runs, and most wickets after Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots match
The Guyana Amazon Warriors faced off against the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the fifth match of the 2021 CPL at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. Dwayne Bravo-led St Kitts and Nevis Patriots picked up a convincing victory in the contest as they won the match by eight wickets.
Earlier, Guyana Amazon Warriors skipper Nicholas Pooran chose to bat first after winning the toss. All the top-order batsmen except Chandrapaul Hemraj(39) failed miserably, so the Guyana Amazon Warriors innings did not progress in an ideal way. Due to contributions from middle-order Mohammad Hafeez(38) and Nicholas Pooran(23 in 10 balls), they crawled their way to 146/8 in 20 overs.
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots got off to a blistering start as their opener, Evin Lewis, stroked his way to 62 in just 39 deliveries. Lewis put on a 113-run opening stand along with Devon Thomas(55*) and took his side to a strong position. Eventually, St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots chased down the target in overs and emerged victorious with eight wickets in hand.
