Jamaica Tallawahs vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jamaica Tallawahs gathered much-needed momentum with the bat in the slog overs and ensured the game never slipped out of their grasp. Has been a clinical performance from them. They will be up against Guyana Amazon Warriors next. But, before that we got a double-header loading starting tomorrow. Saint Lucia Kings taking on Trinbago Knight Riders followed by St Kitts And Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Royals. Do remember to tune in for those games. Until then, cheers and goodbye!!

Rovman Powell: It depends on the surface (talking about the batting approach) and it's good that we have so much power in our batting. The guys bowled well and King was exceptional, he was very fluent. All in all, guys played some good cricket today, When they have so many left-handers we try not to risk left-arm spin (on why Fabian Allen was not bowled). It's all about match-ups and maybe tomorrow he will get a chance.

Dwayne Bravo: Can't afford to give three chances, tough luck, not the ideal start but quick turn around for us and we know what went wrong for us today - dropping those three catches. Happy with how young Carmichael played his first game, really good to see how he carried himself with the ball and in the field

Brandon King | Player of the match: I am extremely happy (with his innings), playing for my home franchise. Wasn't easy going out there first. I just tried to keep calm and not panic (going through a tough bowling spell from Duan Jansen). It was good that we had wickets in hand. The pitch was difficult to bat but we got a good total.

22:25 Local Time, 02:25 GMT, 07:55 IST: The chase just never took off. Only two batters got into 30s, one with a strike-rate under 100 and the other at 150 - sums up everything you need to know about their struggles during the chase. Amir removed the dangerous Lewis early and Fletcher, despite his attempts to take the game deep, failed to unveil the release shots as and when required which exerted more pressure on batters at the other end. They lost three key wickets during the 7-11th over phase and never recovered since. Though Rutherford played some delightful pulls on the leg-side, it was never going to be enough with the ever-increasing required rate. Stick around for the presentations...
