The
St

Patriots
won
the
toss
and

to
field
first,
with
Brandon
King
and
Kennar
Lewis
getting
the
Tallawahs
off
to
a
fast
start,
scoring
43
runs
in
the
first
4
overs.

The
spin
of
Akila
Dananjaya
and
Rashid
Khan
got
the
Patriots
back
into
the
game
by
taking
wickets
and
restricting
runs,
before
a
late
show
from
all-rounder
Raymon
Reifer
took
the
Tallawahs
to
139/5
after
their
20
overs.

In
a
chase
reduced
to
15
overs
by
rain,
Andre
Fletcher
led
the
St
Kitts
and
Nevis
Patriots
to
a
comfortable
victory
with
an
innings
of
45
not
out
that
was
supported
by
big
hitting
from
Evin
Lewis
and
Darren
Bravo.

Jamaica
Tallawahs
got
off
to
a
sublime
start
in
their
innings,
King
and
Lewis
combining
well
before
Khan
struck
to
take
the
wicket
of
Lewis
in
the
powerplay.

Leading
run-scorer
and
captain
for
the
Tallawahs,
Rovman
Powell,
was
then
run
out
after
a
brilliant
piece
of
fielding
from
youngster
Dewald
Brevis
to
put
the
Tallawahs
in
trouble.

However,
a
late
partnership
between
Reifer
and
Fabian
Allen
managed
to
add
39
runs
to
the
tally
as
the
Tallawahs
ended
on
139/5.

With
rain
reducing

and
Nevis

raced
to

after
5
overs,
with

proving
destructive.

Imad
Wasim
struck
with
the
first
ball
of
his
spell,
removing
Lewis,
however
Darren
Bravo
came
in
and
formed

run
partnership
with
