CPL 2022, Barbados Royals vs Jamaica Tallawahs: Wasim, King power Jamaicans

The
Jamaica
Tallawahs
won
the
toss
and
chose
to
field
first,
Imad
Wasim
getting
them
off
to
a
spectacular
start
by
bowling
two
maiden
overs
and
taking
three
wickets
in
the
power
play
to
leave
the
Royals
reeling
at
17-3
after
six
overs.

It
was
South
African
internationals
Quinton
De
Kock
and
David
Miller
who
rebuilt
the
innings
for
the
Royals
with
an
83
run
partnership
that
took
them
to
146/6
at
the
end
of
their
innings.

Brandon
King
and
Amir
Jangoo
got
off
to
a
flying
start
in
the
chase,
scoring
50
runs
by
the
fifth
over
to
put
the
Tallawahs
in
a
commanding
position.

Jason
Holder
would
take
three
wickets
as
the
Royals
fought
back,
but
it
was
not
enough
as
the
Royals
reached
126/5
and
won
by
five
wickets
(DLS),
six
runs
ahead
of
the
par
score.

Jamaica
Tallawahs
shocked
the
Royals
early
on
in
the
innings
with
Wasim
striking
three
times
within
the
power
play,
removing
Rahkeem
Cornwall,
Kyle
Mayers
and
Corbin
Bosch
with
his
bamboozling
deliveries.

But
it
was
de
Kock,
once
again
batting
lower
down
the
order
at
four,
who
led
the
way
with
a
sublime
74
off
just
43
balls,
with
support
from
David
Miller
as
the
Royals
ended
up
finishing
on
146/6.

Tallawahs
had
a
dream
start
to
their
chase
with
King
and
Jangoo
finding
the
boundary
consistently
in
the
PowerPlay.

However,
Obed
McCoy
would
strike
with
two
wickets,
before
Holder
set
up
a
tense
finish
by
taking
three
wickets.

In
the
end,
a
six
from
Rovman
Powell
just
before
rain
fell
would
prove
critical,
as
it
meant
the
Tallwahs
finished
ahead
by
six
runs
on
DLS
and
picked
up
the
five
wicket
win.
