BR Vs SLK Live Score: Alzarri Joseph Is Our Player Of The Match

St Lucia's ace speedster Alzarri Joseph wins the player of the match award for his clinical bowling performance. His exceptional figures of four for 22 pretty much sealed the deal for his side in the first innings itself.

While Joseph scalped four wickets, Roston Chase derailed the Royals with a clinical three-fer. 

In response, St Lucia Kings lost three wickets for 49 runs. But Roston Chase and Tim Seifert held their nerves and built a solid partnership to help them get over the line. With this victory, the Kings powered themselves to the second position in the points table.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Chase Keeps Kings In The Hunt At Halfway Mark

Despite losing Faf du Plessis, St Lucia Kings have recovered well in the game, thanks to Roston Chase's excellent cameo. The all-rounder has struck three fours and a six, powering them to 71 for three at the halfway mark. 

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Keshav Maharaj Does The Trick, Faf Departs

Oh dear! Just when it seemed like St Lucia were running away with the game, Keshav Maharaj dismisses Faf du Plessis to bring a glimmer of hope to the Royals camp. St Lucia are three down, but, with plenty of batting left, the target still seems a walk in the park for them. 

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Du Plessis Shifts Gears After Two Early Wickets

Faf du Plessis has started shifting gears after two early wickets. The captain is leading from the front and taking on the opposition. 

BR Vs SLK Live Score: GONE, GONE! FIRST WICKET!

Holder strikes and St Lucia lose Johnson Charles. Game on here at the Providence Stadium. Charles goes for the big shot and he fails to get any timing on it as Holder takes a simple catch. Is this a start of something special?

Johnson Charles looks in some pain. He had to put in a dive to get back in his crease. The physio is out to check on him. Not a good news for the St Lucia Kings.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Right then, we are back for the live action!!

Just 97 runs required for the Kings to seal a brilliant win. However, the pitch has gotten slower and it won't be that easy. Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis come out to open.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: St Lucia restrict Barbados to just 96!

A phenomenal performance by the St Lucia Bowlers, but an equally dismal performance by the Royals' batters. No one, literally no one got going as the team got under pressure and could only score 96 runs. Alzarri Joseph and Roston Chase were the pick of the bowlers, with 4 and 3 wickets respectively.

97 is not a big total in T20 cricket, but you never know, anything can happen. Stay tuned as we come back for the second innings.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Can Barbados cross the 100-run mark?

With just one over left, Barbados are 86/9. The pitch certainly hasn't helped their cause, but the team has also faltered badly.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Sorry state of affairs for the Barbados Royals!

The team has failed as a unit and have lost their 8th wicket. This is turning out to be a snooze-fest. Keshav Maharaj, the latest man to be dismissed for just 10.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: 7 DOWN! Yes, you heard that right!

And the batter was caught at short-leg. This is a Test match setup, with a short-leg in place. Young tries to work the off-break on the leg side, but it hits the gloves and goes straight into the hands of short-leg fielder.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: 6 DOWN! BARBADOS HAVE FALLEN APART!

6 wickets down and this time, the dangerous Holder goes back. Roston Chase traps him on the front pad as the ball didn't turn as much as Holder expected and it cops a blow on the front pad.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Barbados struggling at 10-over mark!

10 overs gone, Barbados are 45/5. As usual, the Guyana surface is a paradise for the slow bowlers and the batters are finding it tough to get going. Barbados have a long, long way to go to make a comeback.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Athanaze departs as Barbados lose 5th wicket!!

Half the side back in the hut! Things have turned from bad to worse for the table-toppers. Athanaze never looked comfortable and departs for just 10 off 15 balls. St Lucia Kings are making a mockery of the Royals' batting.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: 4th wicket down, what is happening? 😱

Wickets just keep on tumbling as Barbados Royals have exploded here under immense pressure. Alzarri Joseph on fire as he bags his 3rd wicket of the day. The dangerous Rovman Powell departs cheaply.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Trouble, trouble for Barbados Royals!!!

What have the St Lucia guys eaten? Their bowlers are making a mockery of the Barbados batting. Alleyne with a mistime hit as he failed to clear the long-on fence and the fielder takes a simple catch. Barbados have imploded at Guyana....

BR Vs SLK Live Score: BIG WICKET ALERT 🚨

QDK's opening partner, Cornwall also walks back to the pavilion. His Poor CPL 2024 continues as St Lucia dominate the early proceedings. He miscues the big heave and the fielder at mid-off takes a simple catch.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: QDK GONE!!! 😱

Just the start St Lucia Kings wanted at the start, they have dismissed the dangerous Quinton de Kock. QDK failed to read the length ball on the stumps as he misses his heave and the stumps go flying! Dream wicket for Alzarri Joseph...

BR Vs SLK Live Score: We are all set for the live action!!

The players are ready, spectators are ready, OneCricket team is ready for this brilliant tactical battle!. The weather looks good and we are in for a brilliant bit of play. Rahkeem Cornwall to open alongside the in-form Quinton de Kock.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: OneCricket's prediction for this game!

Anurag: Tough one to predict. Both are on a winning run, but just feel St Lucia Kings have found a winning rhythm and are riding high on confidence. Hence, I back them to win this one.

Deba: I disagree, my friend. Barbados have been the team to beat in the tournament and the trend will continue today. There is no way a strong Barbados side will lose against the Kings from St Lucia.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Toss update!!!

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Providence Stadium Pitch Report!

The Providence Stadium is known to be a spinner's paradise, offering considerable turn in the middle overs. However, fast bowlers can also make early breakthroughs with the new ball if they keep their lines tight. Batters will need to dig deep, applying themselves early on before shifting gears.

BR Vs SLK Live Score: Royals ready to roar!!

The best team of the tournament, Royals will look to seal their top spot with a win tonight against the St Lucia kings. They certainly look confident and have the squad to beat the opposition tonight.
