The match between Antigua & Barbuda Falcons and St Lucia Kings is halfway through. The Falcons, batting first, put just 142 runs on the board. Justin Greaves was the star player with the bat, as he scored 36 (26). While the others could not convert the starts they got.

Overall, it was an underwhelming innings from the Falcons, but there were a few moments of brilliance with the bat that forced the crowd to get out of their seats. One such instance came from Sam Billings when he played an outrageous unorthodox shot that reminded the viewers of AB de Villiers. 

Billings Turns ABD

Billings played the shot on the last ball of the 15th over when he moved across the wicket, similar to the South Africa legend, and then scooped the ball above the head of the fielder placed on at short fine leg for a boundary. 

Eventually, Billings returned to the pavilion with a score of 14 (12), which featured three fours. All the boundaries that Sam scored were unorthodox shots. Eventually, that cost him his wicket as he failed to hit a reverse sweep off Noor Ahmed and was found out of his crease and got stumped. 

Sam Billings' Careless Shot Put Falcons Under Pressure

When Billings came to bat, the Falcons were 87/4 in 13.3 overs. The Englishman had nearly six overs to resurrect the innings. However, the Falcons management would have expected Billings to show more maturity in the middle and score big as Antigua & Barbuda are still hunting for their first win of the tournament.

In the four matches that Billings has played in CPL 2024, he has amassed just 50 runs.The Falcons are placed last on the table with 0 points in three matches.
