On the 24th fixture of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025, Barbados Royals locked horns with the Saint Lucia Kings at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The visiting captain, David Wiese, won the toss and decided to bowl first on he surface, expecting it to get better in the second innings.
The home side made one change in the playing eleven with Kadeem Alleyne coming in place of Johann Layne. On the other hand, the Kings decided to go with an unchanged eleven.
Small contributions fire Barbados Royals to 191/5
It was another poor start from the Royals as they lost Quinton de Kock in the third over of the innings. Brandon King's 42 runs in 31 balls with the help of three boundaries and three over boundaries at a strike rate of 135.48 gave them some stability. Kadeem played a crucial knock of 39 runs in just 21 deliveries, thanks to three boundaries and as many sixes.
However, at 120/5 in 15.2 overs, they were still struggling for a firing finish. And that’s when Rovman Powell, their captain, smashed a fine knock of unbeaten 41 runs in 17 balls with four fours and three sixes to shoulder them to 191/5 in 20 overs with 70 runs coming in less than five overs.
Saint Lucia Kings fell short of target of 24 runs
The visitors didn’t make a good start and kept losing wickets from top to bottom. Their wicket-keeper and opening batter, Tim Seifert, smacked 24 runs in 13 balls with two sixes and one four. Tim David bashed 44 runs in 28 balls, thanks to four over boundaries and two fours at a strike rate of 157.14.
However, none of these contributions were to get them over the target in the second innings as they finished their allotted 20 overs with 164/9 and fell short of the target by 27 runs.
