Sherfane Rutherford loses his cool after he gets run out in CPL 2021
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have lost their winning momentum.
The 9th edition of the Caribbean Premier League has witnessed thrills and chills in the passage of play. Ahead of the 15th match of the West Indies’ franchise cricket league, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots remained unbeaten in the five games they played so far.
They were a phenomenal force to be reckoned with in the league so far. However, things changed all of a sudden when they locked horns with St Lucia Kings for the first time this season. The Patriots were tactically poor across all departments in their sixth game.
St Lucia Kings dictated terms and channelised their aggression in the right manner. As a result, they were able to notch up a colossal total of 224/2. Faf du Plessis scored an unbeaten 120 off 60 balls with the help of 13 fours and 5 sixes.
In reply, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots were bowled out for just 124. The Kings dominated the first leg with a 100-run victory over The Patriots. Both the teams locked horns with each other on a subsequent day. The Kings once again got the better of The Patriots.
