CPL 2021: Updated points table, most runs, and most wickets after Saint Lucia Kings vs Guyana Amazon Warriors match
The Saint Lucia Kings and Guyana Amazon Warriors clashed in the 13th match of the CPL 2021 on Thursday at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. The Faf du Plessis-led Saint Lucia Kings team comprehensively won the encounter by a 51 run margin.
Earlier in the day, Saint Lucia Kings had to bat first after losing the toss. Last night's hero Romario Shepherd(3/21) continued his good form and dismissed openers Andre Fletcher(4) and Faf du Plessis(2) cheaply to give the Guyana Amazon Warriors a great start. However, Roston Chase(85 in 50 balls) played a magnificent knock in the middle order and helped his side reach 149/7 in 20 overs. Odean Smith(3/22) also picked up three wickets to compliment Shepherd's efforts in the bowling department.
In reply, the Guyana Amazon Warriors' top order failed miserably as none of the top five batsmen in the line-up got to a two-digit score. Skipper Nicholas Pooran(41 in 26 balls) and Odean Smith(31* in 18 balls) tried their best, but the target proved to be too much. Eventually, the Guyana Amazon Warriors got skittled out for 98 in 16.5 overs and lost the match by 51 runs.
