St Lucia Kings all-rounder Roston Chase pulled off a blinder against Antigua & Barbuda Falcons in the 17th match of the CPL 2024 season. After failing to score a run with the bat, Chase made his presence felt with the ball and on the field to contribute significantly in his team’s 26-run win at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.

Stationed at sweeper cover, Chase pouched a dipping ball to account for the wicket of Fabian Allen in the penultimate over of the match.

Roston Chase gifts Joseph a timely Falcons wicket

After going wicketless in his first three overs, fast bowler Alzarri Joseph was employed by St Lucia Kings captain Faf du Plessis to deliver the penultimate over of the match. Fabian Allen responded to Joseph’s length delivery on the off-stump first-up with a full-throttled slash in a bid to fetch a welcome boundary in the death overs.

However, an agile Roston Chase at sweeper cover made a well-timed forward lunge and plucked out a dipping ball to account for Allen’s exit. Roston’s fielding brilliance also handed Alzarri Joseph his lone wicket of the match as the speedster claimed figures of 1-32 from four overs.

Roston Chase also excelled with the ball by snagging the wicket of Antigua & Barbuda Falcons number five batter and dangerman Imad Wasim inside the opening powerplay.

Earlier in the match, St Lucia Kings made 152-8 from 20 overs after being invited to bat first. David Wiese cracked an unbeaten 43* off 26 balls to top-score in the innings after Ackeem Auguste led the rescue act with 35 from 28 balls. Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis orchestrated a fiery start at the top of the order before a sudden three-wicket burst from Shamar Springer (3-19) and Chris Green (4-22) tilted the tide in Falcons’ favor.

Chasing 153, half of the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons batting order was blown away in the first six overs of the innings itself courtesy of Khary Pierre (3-24), Noor Ahmad (2-13) and Roston Chase (1-15). They eventually fell to a 26-run defeat by failing to recover from their opening setback.
