St Lucia Kings secured a massive 61-run win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots courtesy of Matthew Forde’s superb bowling performance at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Grosse Islet in the 15th match of CPL 2022.

At the start of the match, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain Evin Lewis won the toss and elected to field sending St Lucia Kings to bat first. St. Lucia Kings collected a fighting score of 161 runs after losing 9 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs.

Tim David, who came down after one down, could not make much of an advantage in this match. He scored only 2 runs in 7 balls. After a while, Roshon Primus also got out with 2 runs off 3 balls. However, captain du Plessis kept one end of the wicket safe. But he also returned to the pavilion after playing a stormy innings of 60 runs from 35 balls for the team’s 112 runs. His innings was decorated with 3 fours and 5 sixes.

After the departure of the captain, St. Lucia Kings collapsed like a house of cards under the bowling canon of St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots’ bowlers. As a result, the scoreboard of St. Lucia Kings became 112/4 from 124/7. In the end, St. Lucia Kings collected a fighting score thanks to the cameo innings of David Wiese (14 off 12) and Forde (11 off 15).

Dwaine Pretorius took the maximum number of 3 wickets for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Apart from this, Akila Dananjaya and Sheldon Cottrell took 2 wickets each, and Rashid Khan picked up 1 wicket.

His victims were wicket-keeper batsman Andre Fletcher (0) in the first over of the innings, Lewis (24 off 9) in the 3rd over, and Dewald Brevis (11 off 9) in the 5th over.

As a result of this early collapse, St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots were able to score 48 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 6 overs of the power play. Then Darren Bravo and Sherfane Rutherford tried to take the responsibility of taking the team forward. But they too could not stay on the wicket for long. Bravo was out for 20 from 25 balls and Rutherford made 9 from 19 balls.
