Match Center

That is all from this game. We have one more game later tonight as St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will take on Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. So, join us at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Till then, cheers.

Gudakesh Motie wins the Player of the Match award.

So, just 101 to chase down and stay on top of the table, Guyana Amazon Warriors have chased down the score with 10 overs to spare. All the credit to their bowlers who made it possible. Gudakesh Motie and Imran Tahir were the star as they picked three wickets each while Paul and Dwaine Pretorius with their slower balls picked three wickets together. Saint Lucia Kings struggled and once they lost the top order it was difficult for them to recover from that position. Eventually, Guyana chased it down with 10 overs to spare.

Well, the hosts have been bowled out for just the 100! A poor show with the bat for them.

The wait continues! The issue still hasn't been solved! All we can do for now is be patient.

There's a delay as there's an issue with the live telecast! Sorry for the inconvenience!

We are all set for the action to begin! The players make their way out to the middle.

Guyana Amazon Warriors (Playing XI) - Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Azam Khan(WK), Keemo Paul, Dwaine Pretorius, Tim Robinson, Imran Tahir(C), Gudakesh Motie, Junior Sinclair, Shamar Joseph.

Saint Lucia Kings (Playing XI) - Johnson Charles, Faf du Plessis(C), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Ackeem Auguste, Tim Seifert(WK), Roston Chase, David Wiese, Khary Pierre, Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, Noor Ahmad.

TOSS - Guyana Amazon Warriors have won the toss and ELECTED TO FIELD!

Two unbeaten sides will face of in this clash of the CPL! It is Saint Lucia Kings against the champions Guyana Amazon Warriors! Both have played excellent cricket so far and this should be a cracker of a contest. Difficult to pick a favourite with both the sides having abundance of quality. Saint Lucia Kings are the hosts and will be eager to win this one. Guyana on the other hand, will want to keep their winning run going. Toss and teams in a bit.

... MATCH DAY ...

The 2024 Caribbean Premier League makes its St Lucia debut with an eagerly anticipated clash between the Saint Lucia Kings and the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet. Both teams enter this matchup unbeaten, promising an exhilarating contest. In their campaign opener, the Kings showcased their resilience as the batters staged a remarkable comeback to secure victory from a challenging position. In their subsequent game, the bowlers stepped up, setting the stage for a solid performance. While Matthew Forde and Alzarri Joseph have yet to hit their stride with the ball, Noor Ahmad has emerged as a key spinner, supported well by Roston Chase and Khary Pierre. On the batting front, Tim Seifert and Bhanuka Rajapaksa excelled in the opener, while Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis found form in the last game, a positive sign for the Kings. On the other hand, the Warriors, runners-up from the previous season, have made a strong start in their quest for the title. They clinched a thrilling last-ball win against the Falcons in their first game, followed by a convincing victory over the Patriots, where the batters laid a solid foundation. Shimron Hetmyer and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have already set the tournament alight with their performances. However, Shai Hope and Azam Khan will be eager to make their mark early in the tournament. Imran Tahir has been uncharacteristically expensive, but Gudakesh Motie’s consistent performances have provided some relief. The Warriors are heavily reliant on their spin department, but they will need their pace department comprising Dwaine Pretorius, Keemo Paul, and Raymon Reifer to step up against a formidable Kings batting lineup. The Warriors have had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning three of the last four completed meetings against the Kings. Will they extend their dominance, or will the Kings secure a victory in their first home game of the season? We will find out together.
