Antigua & Barbuda Falcons registered their first win of the CPL 2024 season by defeating Trinbago Knight Riders in match number eight at Antigua.

Here’s the timeline of how ABF vs TKR panned out in Antigua:

ABF vs TKR Highlights: Fakhar Zaman, Justin Greaves Share 65 In Powerplay

Antigua & Barbuda Falcons openers Fakhar Zaman and Justin Greaves shared 65 runs off the opening powerplay overs after being invited to bat first. Greaves belted four boundaries and two sixes in his 37-run whirlwind knock from just 19 balls before he was out stumped off Sunil Narine in the sixth over of the match.

Fakhar Zaman smeared five boundaries from the other end during his attacking 38-run stay as the Falcons reached 87-2 around the halfway stage of the innings.

ABF vs TKR Highlights: Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen Blitz Takes Falcons To 176

Imad Wasim at number four carried on the opening momentum by flogging four boundaries and two maximums, all during the backend of the innings. His top-scoring act of 46 runs from just 29 balls helped the Falcons set up a competitive first innings total of 176-6 off 20 overs.

Fabian Allen also chipped in with a swift 25* from 11 deliveries with two boundaries and a six at the death. For the Knight Riders, senior man Sunil Narine and young spinner Waqar Salamkheil delivered identical four-over spells yielding two wickets each.

ABF vs TKR Highlights: Fabian Allen Strikes Thrice After TKR’s Early Confidence

Chasing 177 for a win, the Trinbago Knight Riders lost pinch-hitting opener Sunil Narine for a three-ball duck to Falcons captain Chris Green. Narine’s opening partner Andries Gous and number three Shaqkere Parris later formed a 62-run recovery partnership to take the Knight Riders past the 50-run mark.

The two well-set batters hauled confident 30s at the top, before both were removed by Fabian Allen in quick succession. The left-arm Falcons spinner also got rid of in-form explosive batter Nicholas Pooran for a first-ball duck as the Knight Riders slipped from 72-1 to 79-4 following his three-wicket burst.

ABF vs TKR Highlights: Mohammad Amir, Primus Halt Pollard’s Rage To Secure Falcons Win

Keacy Carty at number five launched four sixes to shape 34 runs off 22 balls, and captain Kieron Pollard made a rapid 15-ball 30 to lead Knight Riders recovery. While their collective belligerence took them past the 150-run mark, constant breakthroughs from Mohammad Amir (1-24) and Roshon Primus (2-40) in the backend limited them to just 170-9 from 20 overs.

The Antigua & Barbuda Falcons ended up securing a fighting six-run win to open their account on the CPL 2024 points table.
