The Trinbago Knight Riders and the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons are facing each other in the eighth match of the CPL 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. The Falcons batted first in the game after the Knight Riders won the toss and put them in.

The Falcons' innings started well, as Fakhar Zaman and Justin Greaves gave them significant momentum in the powerplay. However, the innings lost momentum after this, and the Falcons' scoring rate dropped considerably.

Imad Wasim got the Falcons to a fighting total

The Falcons found themselves in a tough spot, losing wickets at regular intervals. At one point, it seemed they might not reach a respectable total. However, Imad Wasim, the Pakistani all-rounder, stepped up. His 46 off 29 was a game-changer, ensuring the Falcons posted a fighting total of 176/6 in their 20 overs. 

The Knight Riders were hoping for a strong start in their chase. However, the loss of Sunil Narine in the second over of the innings put them in a spot of bother. The departure of Sunil Narine brought young Shaqkere Parris into the middle. The talented young batter has been perceived to have a lot of talent and is one of the future prospects of West Indian cricket. 

Parris justified his reputation with his start to the innings

Parris justified his talent when he played a gorgeous shot against Imad Wasim in the fourth over of the innings. On the fourth delivery of the over, Imad Wasim tossed up the ball around the full length on the off stump. Parris got a chance to get underneath the ball and made full use of it. Parris cleared his front leg and lofted the ball over the long-off fence for maximum. 

Parris's shot was a display of sheer elegance, reminiscent of Indian ODI and Test skipper, Rohit Sharma. The Indian legend is known for his effortless execution of difficult shots, particularly those down the ground. Parris's shot, in its lazy elegance, brought to mind the grace of Rohit Sharma's play. 

In the chase, the Knight Riders are stationed at 79/4 in 11.5 overs. They need 98 runs to win the match off 49 deliveries.
