Trinbago Knight Riders wins a close encounter
It was Saint Lucia Kings who batted first and posted a total of 187/6 from their 20 overs. Roston Chase was the best batter for the Kings with a score of 56 unbeaten runs from 40 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes in the 12th match of CPL 2024 on Tuesday.

Needing 188 to win, TKR lost Jason Roy (16) and Sunil Narine (14) early. Shaqkere Parris then hit 57 off just 33 balls with just a single four and 6 huge sixes. TKR then lost Nicholas Pooran for 17 and Keacy Carty for 12. Skipper Kieron Pollard though came to the fore as he smashed 52 not out from 19 balls with 7 sixes to help his team win.
Speaking at the end of the game, Kieron Pollard said “For someone who has played for the WI and for St. Lucia for a period of time, wanted to give something to the crowd. We lost some wickets in the middle but that’s why it’s a team sport and we came in and played our part later. If it’s my role to finish games, that’s what I’ll do.”
Faf Du Plessis said “Was a good game of cricket, quality powerplays. Would’ve taken 190. We went for 70 in the powerplay but unbelievable fightback to stay in the contest. We probably went for too many sixes. St. Kitts is probably the most challenging venue with dark skies and bright lights but I think we took some great catches. Did a lot of things right. Small margins against big teams is what it comes down to at the end of the day”
