King, 23, relishes key role for Patriots
BATTING at the crucial number three position may be intimidating for some 23 year olds, but St Kitts and Nevis Patriots batsman Brandon King was ready for the challenge on Saturday, leading his team to a six-wicket win over Barbados Tridents in the 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League in Kensington Oval, Barbados.
Chasing a modest 148 for victory, Patriots got off to a disastrous start with star batsman Chris Gayle falling for duck in the first ball of the innings. Evin Lewis continued his poor form, falling for one to leave Patriots in trouble on seven for two in the third over.
The Patriots have shown in this tournament that they are not only depending on Gayle to score solid totals.
On this occasion, King put the Patriots on his back with some support from Devon Thomas to rescue the innings. King scored 60 off 49 deliveries with four fours and five sixes.
