In the eighth CPL 2024 match between Antigua & Barbuda Falcons and Trinbago Knight Riders at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, the hosts, batting first, put 176/6 runs on the board, their highest total in this season. 

Justin Greaves and Fakhar Zaman provided the perfect platform with a blistering start, while Imad Wasim stole the show with his blistering knock. The Pakistani batter scored 46 (29), which featured four fours and two sixes. 

Imad Wasim emerged as the saviour of the Falcons

Talking about Imad's knock, he smashed some powerful shots and nearly took the on-field umpire when he hit one-four straight down the ground. On the last ball of the 13th over, Imad hit a straight shot and the umpire had to duck his way out of the trajectory of the shot to escape getting injured. He even shared a laugh looking at Wasim after the powerful shot.

The Falcons are having a miserable season so far as they have lost their first four matches. Nonetheless, Wasim has had a brilliant season so far on an individual level as he has two forty-plus scores so far and his sole failure came against Barbados Royals where he scored 2 (5). 

The Falcons vs Knight Riders; Summary So Far

The Knight Riders won the toss and asked the Falcons to bat first. It is worth noting that so far, all the matches at the Sir Vivian Richards stadium has been won by the team batting second. Thus, it was an obvious choice for the Knight Riders to field first.

Nonetheless, the Falcons put their highest total on the board and are in the driver's seat at the moment. At the time of writing this article, the Kieron Pollard-led side are 22/1 after 4 overs.
