CPL 2016: Chris Gayle and Andre Russell enthuse Jamaica Tallawahs to feat over Patriots
- Updated: July 3, 2016
A half century from captain Chris Gayle and a discerning glow 34 from Andre Russell set adult a win for a Jamaica Tallawahs opposite a St Kitts Nevis Patriots in a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on Saturday afternoon.
Another excellent bowling arrangement for a Patriots’ left arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi was not adequate for a home group who mislaid wickets frequently via their chase.
While Gayle was cementing his place as a heading Twenty20 run scorer of all time, a rest of a Tallawahs’ tip sequence struggled. Chadwick Walton fell in a unequivocally initial over, lbw to Krishmar Santokie. Rovman Powell and Shakib al Hasan over for singular figures. Kumar Sangakkara was a usually other batsman that found any arrange of fluidity in a initial half of a innings and he was looking dangerous before a brew adult with Gayle saw him run out for 26 (21).
Unfortunately for a Tallawahs no earlier had Gayle got to fifty he got out, skewing a round from Thisara Perera to third male for 51. That meant that a shortcoming for running a Jamaican side to a rival sum fell to clamp captain Andre Russell. The absolute all-rounder did not defect as he bloody his approach to 34 from 20 balls in an innings that enclosed 3 maximums.
The Tallawahs’ sum of 153 for 7 looked light and it would take a good bowling arrangement from them to urge it opposite a Patriots side that bats low down a order.
They delivered only that as all a bowlers common a wickets around.
Kesrick Williams’ initial wicket in a CPL saw Evin Lewis skip in a second over of a Patriots follow and there were unchanging wickets via that kept pegging behind a home side.
Faf Du Plessis was doing a decent pursuit during holding a innings together and while he was there a Patriots would have felt confident. But only as he got going he found a heading corner off a smoothness from Jon-Russ Jaggesar and a bowler held a looping lapse catch.
The Patriots only couldn’t get going no matter how tough they attempted and in a finish that half century from Gayle valid to be a compare winning contribution. The final remaining wish for a Patriots was a big-hitting Carlos Brathwaite though Dale Steyn accounted for him in his final over as he picked adult sum of 1 for 21 on his CPL debut.
A late sequence cameo from Devon Thomas saw him strike 3 uninterrupted Hero Maximums in a final over to make a outcome seem closer than it was, though those unchanging wickets meant a Patriots a follow for feat stuttered and never unequivocally started.
The Tallawahs will be gay to have got off to a winning start though for a Patriots this detriment means they have mislaid dual home games during a start of their campaign. They have dual matches during Warner Park to try and rescue a St Kitts leg of their contest and they will be anticipating for feat when they take on a St Lucia Zouks on Sunday.
