The St Lucia Kings are on the way to their second win of CPL 2024 against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the sixth game of the tournament. Notably, the Kings took full advantage of their skipper, Faf du Plessis's decision to field first after winning the toss. 

Greaves and Wasim fought for the Falcons with the bat

Justin Greaves turned out to be the top scorer for the Falcons with 36 off 26 deliveries. Besides Greaves, Imad Wasim was the only other batter who looked good with the bat. Because of the contribution of these two batters, the Falcons reached 142/7 at the end of their 20 overs.

The Kings got off to a blazing start in reply to the moderate total of the Falcons. Faf du Plessis played a blinder of 24 from 15 deliveries and set the tone for the chase.
