Tallawahs quicks hand Patriots 108-run thrashing

Sun, Jul 17, '16

The Jamaica Tallawahs pace bowlers led them closer to the top spot in the CPL table by wrapping up St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for 75 in 15.5 overs to secure a 108-run win in Kingston. The margin was second-highest for a victory in the CPL, and incidentally, the record for the highest margin belongs to Patriots' 119-run win against Tallawahs. Tallawahs' win on Saturday was their fourth in six matches, placing them a point behind Guyana Amazon Warriors.
Patriots' chase of 184 didn't get the start they wanted as Andre Russell removed Lendl Simmons for a duck on the third ball of the first over, which conceded only one run. Steyn also stifled with an equally economical first over. Russell was clubbed for a four and six by Faf du Plessis in the third over, before having the batsman caught at cover point in the same over for 12. Evin Lewis and Jonathan Carter also got starts but fast bowler Kesrick Williams derailed the chase by taking three wickets - of Carter, Lewis and Brad Hodge - in four balls in the ninth over, to reduce Patriots to 53 for 5.
