Pietersen, Fletcher blow Tridents away

Sat, Jul 4, '15

Seventies from Kevin Pietersen and Andre Fletcher led St Lucia Zouks to a comfortable 30-run victory against Barbados Tridents in Basseterre. The pair added 138 for the second wicket - the highest partnership so far in this season of the CPL - in just 75 balls.
Zouks got off to a poor start, losing Johnson Charles in the second over, but then Pietersen and Fletcher took over. Tridents couldn't stop the runs from flowing, primarily off the bat of Pietersen - he struck three fours in the third over, and took to Rayad Emrit as well, smashing him for two sixes and a four. Pietersen found deep midwicket in the 14th over, and the boundaries dried up for a while, but another late flurry took Zouks to 202 for 5 - the highest total of this CPL.
