...THE PRESENTATION...
Earlier in the day, it was a superb batting performance from Roston Chase. His 85 from 50 helped his team post a total of 149. Later, it was a complete bowling performance from Saint Lucia Kings and they win the match comfortably.
Guyana Amazon Warriors had the worst of starts with the bat. They were 4 down inside the Powerplay. Hafeez and Malik went after wayward deliveries. Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran stitched a much-required partnership but some lazy running from Hetmyer saw him walk back to the hut. Pooran was the only hope in the end for GAW. He hit some lusty blows but departed back as he was looking to up the ante. Odeon gave a little hope in the end but his hitting alone wasn't enough for it to chase down. In the end, a disappointing outing for the Warriors.
A superb bowling display from Saint Lucia Kings. They were on the front foot from the start as they scalped 4 wickets inside the Powerplay. Obed McCoy and Alzarri Joseph started brilliantly as they made the ball move. The game-changing moment was when Shimron Hetmyer was run out and after that it was all Kings. It was a complete bowling performance from Saint Lucia Kings and they will be very happy with themselves. Jeavor Royal was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped three wickets.
The King has ruled against the Warriors. A commanding performance from Saint Lucia Kings see them win comfortably by 51 runs.

OUT! TIMBER! This was a slower ball on middle, Imran Tahir moves across and makes room for himself. He gets low and tries to slog-sweep it but misses it completely. The ball goes under his willow and disturbs the furniture behind him. Saint Lucia Kings win by 51 runs.

Good change of pace from Williams. This was on a length, outside off. Smith once again tries to cut it away but only connects it with thin air around him.
