St Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders
Caribbean Premier League. It is Match 12
6pm Neither the St Lucia Kings or the Trinbago Knight Riders won their last games. Those results, though, could not have come in more contrasting fashion. While the Knight Riders lost a game they could well have won on another day, the Kings just did not turn up against the Guyana Amazon Warriors, were bundled out for 100 and saw that score being chased down in 10 overs.
So, even though the immediate objective of both sides will be similar - to return to winning ways tonight - they might have to overcome slightly different hurdles and obstacles. The Kings, having been chastened so harshly in their first outing at home, will have to completely cast aside memories of that encounter; the Knight Riders, meanwhile, will want to retain the things that served them well against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, wanting a more coherent display that makes that defeat seem more and more like an aberration. All while two vital points remain up for grabs…

6:20pm Trinbago Knight Riders have won the toss and they have opted to field first.
Trinbago Knight Riders XI: Jason Roy, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Keacy Carty, Kieron Pollard (capt), Shaqkere Parris, Andries Gous, Akeal Hosein, Jayden Seales, Waqar Salamkheil, Terrance Hinds
St Lucia Kings XI: Faf du Plessis (capt), Johnson Charles, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Khari Campbell, Aaron Jones, Shadrack Descarte, Roston Chase, Tim Seifert (wk), Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, Noor Ahmad
...
Pitch Report: 62m and 63m square boundaries, 74m hit straight down the ground. Alzarri Joseph joins Pommie Mbangwa for the pitch report, and Joseph says hitting against the wind will be pretty tough. There is a slight dark patch on a good length, like the other evening and that might be an area bowlers look to target. There could be some moisture underneath because of all the rain around.
More info from the toss: Pollard admitted that they did look a little rusty and that they have to go out and earn the right to win, irrespective of who they are facing. Two forced changes, with Russell one of those missing out, alongside Little. du Plessis, meanwhile, mentioned the pitch does not look as tacky as the other evening and their goal is to put up a good total on the board.
Keacy Carty: (On his start to the season) I have been dismissed once, luckily have had a bit of luck on my side. 100 runs in two innings - it has been a good start. Just trying to do my job on the day. Your job might change game to game and you just have to adapt (sometimes). (On batting in a line-up of explosive hitters) Not really difficult. I am not an explosive player, not an out-and-out six-hitter but I can hit a six when need be. I try to play my natural game.
Odinlass: "Don't know about the wicket but hope The St Lucia Kings make 200+ for TKR to chase." -- This venue did produce plenty of runs during the men's T20 World Cup in June, although the Kings might not be thinking too far ahead, and their objective, right at the outset, will likely be to get off to a good start.
6:59pm We are all in readiness. Charles will open the batting alongside his skipper du Plessis. Hosein has the new ball for the Knight Riders. du Plessis on strike - let's play!

Seales to Charles, SIX runs
six more, although this is much streakier! Length on the stumps. Charles gets his front foot out of the way and swipes across the line. Gets a fat leading edge that swirls away over the third man fence!

Darted in full on leg stump. Charles shapes for the switch hit and it seems Narine was ready for that too, hence the fuller length. Charles is forced to muscle it down the ground because he cannot swipe across it and all he does is offer a simple catch to Pollard, stationed at long on!

Narine to Descarte, OUT
huge appeal, not given! Back of a length delivery that pitches on middle and leg and then spins away. Descarte has no clue about it and goes nibbling at it. Pooran thinks the batter has nicked it but the umpire is unmoved. Pollard, after a bit of chat, opts to review. The ball is quite close to the outside edge and UltraEdge confirms a nick. Clear enough spike, and Descarte has to go!

another chance goes down! Flighted up full outside off, enticing du Plessis to go inside-out. The Kings skipper is beaten in the air, though, and slices it badly. Narine ambles after it from short third and makes a complete meal of it. He never looked comfortable under it

5 runs not bad...Pouty
Waqar to Chase, FOUR runs
in the gap and into the fence! A bit of a drag-down outside off and Chase capitalizes. Rocks back and hammers it between long on and deep mid wicket!
Cut dat out Chase
Waqar to Rajapaksa, SIX runs
clean as a whistle! Floated up into the slot wide outside off, which allows Rajapaksa to extend his arms and pump it over long off!
Waqar to Rajapaksa, SIX runs
fetch that too! On a length on middle and leg but it does not matter to Rajapaksa. He dances down the track, opens up his front hip and mauls it over deep mid wicket!

That Pouty run-up is the slowest I've seen for a 'fast' bowler.
He needs to take lesson from Pollo on how to run-up to the wicket even if he runs faster than he actually bowls.

666666666 more Rajapaksa pon fuego!

19 off that over form Salamkeel!
120/3 after 13.
Here's Narine again
Narine to Rajapaksa, no run
another massive appeal by Pooran for a caught-behind, but not given! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Pitches and spins away, seemingly going past Rajapaksa's slog across the line. Pooran, though, is adamant the ball has grazed the willow and convinces Pollard to review. Flat line on UltraEdge and the Knight Riders burn a review!

Pollard to Rajapaksa, OUT
goes a mile up, and taken at long on! Superbly-disguised slower ball that pitches on a full length outside off, having dipped on Rajapaksa. He is a week early into the stroke and only gets height on it. Seales settles under it, well inside the long on fence, and makes no mistake!

Hinds to Seifert, (no ball) SIX runs
Seifert into the act now! Gentle full toss on off stump that is begging to be hit. Seifert obliges and wallops it over deep mid wicket. And to make matters worse for Hinds, it has been called a No ball on height....
Hinds to Seifert, FOUR runs
four more for Seifert! Yet another half-tracker outside off and it gets the treatment it deserves. Seifert gets on top of the bounce and belts it to long on's right!
Hinds to Seifert, OUT
Hinds has the last laugh! Full and wide outside off. Seifert throws himself at it, losing his balance in the process too. He is hitting into the wind, though, and that makes things harder for him. Slices it and Hosein, under it at deep backward point, does the rest. A handy cameo comes to an end!

Waqar to Forde, SIX runs
Forde comes to the party! Marginally short on middle and leg. Forde picks the length early, rocks back and smokes it over long on. Does not even look at where the ball has gone - he had such confidence in his stroke!
Waqar to Chase, 2 runs
dropped again - the Knight Riders' catching continues to let them down!Slowed up on a length on the stumps. Chase has a huge swing at it and miscues it. Parris gets under it in the extra cover region but cannot hold on. Chase gets two for his troubles
Waqar to Forde, OUT

Campbell to Parris, SIX runs
watch out for the Shaq attack!Plenty of width on offer and Parris is seeing them like a beach ball tonight. Gets his hands through the ball (and the stroke) and carves it over point!

Noor Ahmad to Roy, OUT
Noor breaks through, almost instantly!Googly on a length outside off. Roy tries to fight the angle and looks for the sweep. The ball bounces a little more than Roy expects too and he gets a top edge that lobs tamely to Campbell at short fine leg, who makes no mistake this time. Much-needed wicket for the Kings!

Noor Ahmad to Pooran, no run
massive lbw shout, turned down! Googly that pitches on a length outside off and spins back in. Pooran misses his sweep and gets rapped on the pads. Perhaps it was going down leg but the Kings have gone upstairs. This could be a big moment in the game. No bat involved. All eyes on Ball Tracking now and...it reckons the ball would have spun past leg stump. Pooran survives!

Descarte to Pooran, SIX runs
miles into the St Lucian night sky, and beyond the long on fence! Length outside off. Pooran walks across his stumps and smears it all the way!
Descarte to Pooran, OUT
six and out! Descarte has his revenge! Full outside off and Pooran's eyes light up looking at the width. He has a swish at it but cuts across it too much, meaning that he does not generate the power or elevation he is after. Pierre runs in a couple of paces and snares the chance. Descarte is jubilant; Pooran, a little more mellowed. This could be a big moment in the game!

Joseph returns. Knight Riders still in control of this chase. 77 needed off 60
Alzarri Joseph to Parris, no run
dropped by Seifert - oh my! Sharp short ball on the stumps that gets big on Parris. He does not help himself by taking his eyes off the ball and the bat ends up being a periscope. Lobs up and Seifert dives forward. Gets both hands to it but the ball just pops out. Replay, though, suggests hit ball might have hit the arm guard rather than the bat or the glove

Noor Ahmad to Parris, OUT
the pressure tells, and Parris perishes! Googly floated up on a length outside off. Parris looks to go inside out but is not to the pitch of the ball. Slices across it too much and du Plessis, tracking it all the way from extra cover, gobbles up the chance. The Kings keep chipping away!

Pollard such power ! Forde gets the treatment! 666.

Pollard power! Short and well outside off. But Pollard, somehow, has managed to fetch it. Brings all of his long levers into play and bludgeons it over wide long on!

Pollard breaks the shackles! A smidgen short outside off and that is all Pollard needs. Picks the length in a flash, swivels and dumps it flat over the deep square leg fence!

Alzarri Joseph to Hosein, FOUR runs
Hosein finishes it with one blow, and the Knight Riders win with five balls to spare! Pollard does the shush celebration again, and the crowd descends into silence. They cannot believe what has hit them!
This is short and wide outside off, which allows Hosein to free his arms. Gets a good chunk of it too and flays it over backward point. A few shell-shocked looks from those in the Kings camp. They came up against the might of Pollard tonight and when that happens, you usually come up second-best!
Three needed off the final over, which will be bowled by Joseph. Surely this is the Knight Riders' game now?
Too much Pollard at the end. SLK should have made 200 plus if not for 49 dot balls need to reflect on that.
In reply to voiceofreason
as soon as Polly came in he had to bring back Alzharri
that was the only chance if any
10:42pm A thrilling run-chase, headlined by Pollard, who wound back the clock and showed he's still got it. When he walked in to bat, the Knight Riders needed 65 off 40. They then needed 27 off 12 but Pollard barely batted an eye-lid. He picked his match-up, targeted the penultimate over and tore into Forde. Prior to that, Parris had enhanced an already burgeoning reputation, racing away to a 20-ball fifty that set the tone nicely for the visitors.
An indifferent outing with the ball for the Kings. They were good in patches but lacked the consistency to apply pressure. Their returns, especially in the first half of the TKR innings, were not great either and their response to Pollard taking them down was also not as swift or decisive as they would have wanted. Descarte, though, did pull through quite nicely and that, along with Noor's two-wicket haul, were perhaps bright spots in their bowling display.
Yes Polly, dey have no damn respeck
Afeef: "Pollard did what he has been doing for over a decade. Always enjoy watching him at his best like this."
Kieron Pollard, the Trinbago Knight Riders is also the Player of the Match: (On the celebration) For someone who has played for the West Indies, captained them (the West Indies) and played a lot in St Lucia, for them to boo…Young Shaq (Parris), showing his worth from the first ball he faced, he set the tempo. He did not have a great day in the field. Everyone has roles and responsibilities, and if my role is to finish games, that is what I have to do. Love seeing the young guys (contribute). We continue to do that and until I call it quits, I'd like to do that (give opportunities to the youngsters).
