Colin Munro and Dwayne Bravo ensured Trinbago Knight Riders sealed their fourth consecutive win after trouncing St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 46 runs in the CPL 2018 game at Warner Park in Basseterre on Saturday (September 1). Munro struck a crucial 50-ball 76 while Bravo lifted the side to 199 for 4 with an unbeaten 11-ball 37. In reply, all Patriots could manage was 153 for 8.

Put in, Knight Riders found themselves in a tricky position at 34 for 2 with the openers - Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine - dismissed for paltry scores. Brendon McCullum, who played an uncharacteristically slow innings, collaborated with Munro to score 78 for the third wicket and take the team past the 100-run mark. The partnership not only steadied the innings but also gave the middle-order the perfect platform to launch.
