St Lucia Kings have started their CPL 2024 campaign on a high by registering a five-wicket win over St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. The match will go down in history as one of the best CPL games because the Kings were out of the match for majority of it. 

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, batting first, put 201 runs on the board. They lost an early wicket that too of their skipper Andre Fletcher, but Evin Lewis and Kyle Mayers turned the game on their heads.

Lewis And Mayers' Historic Stand

Lewis smashed a century while Mayers scored 92. The duo also broke the CPL record of the highest stand for any wicket in the tournament's history. 

Chasing a mammoth target of 202, the Faf du Plessis-led side lost early wickets and were 24-4 at one point. When everyone assumed the Kings to be out of the game, Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Tim Seifert changed the course of the game with their fifty-plus knocks. 

Tim Seifert Takes On Tabraiz Shamsi

It is worth noting that Rajapaksa and Seifert stitched a 103 runs-stand for the fifth wicket that came off just 44 balls. Seifert was the more aggressive one as he played with a 200+ strike rate. 

Tim amassed 64 (27), which featured six sixes. Meanwhile, he also took the limelight after he hit Tabraiz Shamsi for a huge six that nearly went out of the ground. On the first legal delivery of the 8th over, Seifert danced down the track and hit one huge six that went out of the ground.

Seifert's power-hitting resulted in Shamsi registering the figures of 0/41 in his two overs. Also, interestingly, Kyle Mayers, who was from the losing team, won the player of the match award.
