Defending champions Jamaica Tallawahs defeated Saint Lucia Kings by 11 runs in the opening game of the 2023 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL). 

Saint Lucia Kings won the toss and opted to put Jamaica Tallawahs into bat, captain Brandon King leading the way with a dazzling innings of 81 from 53 balls to take the Tallawahs to 187 all out.   

In their chase, Saint Lucia Kings struggled to build momentum as the experienced spin bowling duo of Chris Green and Imad Wasim caused them early problems. Roston Chase gave the home side hope with a superb innings of 53, however, it was in vain as the Saint Lucia Kings fell short of the target.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

showing why he is always around the WI white ball set up. I would restrict him to playing T20 cricket though

Why WI super #3 aka Reefa-Viv playing for Tallawah again?

Captain King showing some batting consistency after his 85 not out to help West Indies clinch series. He is also showing some great abilities as Captain, especially with the way he used is bowlers to restrict the opposition.
