BARBADOS, Saturday: Brandon King overcame a torturous opening spell from Mohammad Irfan to record his maiden CPL fifty, leading the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots to a six-wicket win over Barbados Tridents in Caribbean Premier League on Saturday evening at Kensington Oval.
Irfan claimed Chris Gayle with his first ball and snapped up Evin Lewis caught behind in his second over before making King hop around during the most economical four-over spell in the history of T20 cricket.
But it was not enough to help the Barbados Tridents defend 147 as Steven Smith’s leaky leggies helped King get on track to finish with four fours and five sixes in his 60 off 49 balls.
Ben Cutting and Tom Cooper took over from King in the 16th over and finished off the chase to put Patriots on six points, creating a four-way tie for first place on the CPL table.
