Trinbago Knight Riders walloped St Lucia Kings in a clutch last-over thriller at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium in match number 12 of the CPL 2024 season.

Here’s the timeline of how SLK vs TKR panned out in St Lucia:

SLK vs TKR Highlights: Sunil Narine Strikes Twice After Fiery SLK Start

Batting first, St Lucia Kings raced to a fiery start off the first four overs courtesy of blistering openers Johnson Charles and captain Faf du Plessis. Charles, in particular, tonked three boundaries and two sixes in his swift 14-ball 29-run cameo at the top before offering a simple catch to Kieron Pollard off Sunil Narine at 40-1.

Narine also struck off the very next delivery of his following over by getting rid of Shadrack Descarte for a first-ball duck. Captain Faf belted 34 runs before getting cleaned up by Waqar Salamkheil as the St Lucia Kings reached 71-3 in the first eight overs.


SLK vs TKR Highlights: Roston Chase, Rajapaksa Keep SLK Afloat With Early Momentum

Unbeaten Roston Chase shared a swift 80-run partnership with Bhanuka Rajapaksa for the fourth wicket to take St Lucia Kings past the 150-run mark. Rajapaksa launched three maximums in his 33-run knock from 29 balls while handy 11s from Tim Seifert and Matthew Forde each set up the St Lucia Kings total of 187-6 from 20 overs.

Roston Chase himself top-scored with 56* runs off 40 balls with a couple of boundaries and three sixes. For the Knight Riders, spinner Waqar Salamkheil seized one more to claim figures of 2-37 while Sunil Narine conceded just 13 runs off his two overs with two wickets.

SLK vs TKR Highlights: Shaqkere Parris Keeps TKR At Bay Despite Tumbling Wickets

Chasing 188 for a win, the Trinbago Knight Riders were jolted early with the premature exit of pinch-hitter Sunil Narine to CPL debutant Khari Campbell in just the second over of the innings. While Jason Roy shared a hasty 50-run partnership with number three Shaqkere Parris for the second wicket, the Englishman himself could only muster a sluggish 16 before getting toppled by Noor Ahmad.

Nicholas Pooran made just 17 off 12 as the Knight Riders lost three of its top four in the first 10 overs despite making 111. Parris was the early aggressor-in-chief for the Knight Riders as the youngster smacked six sixes and a boundary and top-scored for his side with 57 runs from just 33 deliveries. His six-laden hurricane was halted by Noor Ahmad at 123-4 in 13.2 overs to prompt Kieron Pollard’s arrival to the crease.

SLK vs TKR Highlights: Kieron Pollard’s Bludgeoning Act Seals It For TKR

Trinbago Knight Riders captain Kieron Pollard did not take long to get into action as he cracked a whirlwind 19-ball 52* with seven sweltering sixes, including four in the space of just five deliveries off a single Matthew Forde over.

Pollard’s six-hitting mayhem helped the TKR seal their 188-run task with four wickets and five balls to spare as they registered their second win of CPL 2024.
