CPL 2021: Updated points table, most runs, and most wickets after Jamaica vs Barbados match
CPL 2021 continued with Jamaica Tallawahs taking on the Barbados Royals in the sixth match at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. Jason Holder led Barbados to their first win since the side's rebranding. The side were victorious by a margin of 15 runs.
The Royals won the toss and elected to bat first. After a bright start, wickets started to tumble in the second half of the powerplay. The latest Rajasthan Royals recruit, Glenn Philipps, took the team out of trouble with a composed fifty and remained unbeaten until the end. He was well aided by Raymon Reifer, who struck a quickfire cameo to post 161 runs on the board for the loss of five wickets.
Much like their opposition, the Tallawahs also lost four wickets in the powerplay. Despite a fighting partnership between Shamarh Brooks and Carlos Brathwaite, the late pyrotechnics were missing, especially with Andre Russell being dismissed for a first ball duck.
