Match Review
The Kings opted to bowl first after winning the toss, quickly putting pressure on the Warriors. Noor Ahmad was instrumental in their success, claiming three wickets for just 19 runs, which helped restrict the Warriors to a total of 138/8. Despite early setbacks in their batting lineup, with key players Faf du Plessis and Johnson Charles dismissed cheaply, Roston Chase (39 off 22) and Aaron Jones (48 off 31) led a remarkable ꩵrecovery to secure the win with 11 balls to spare.
The victory not only brought joy to the team’s supporters but has also reignited enthusiasm for cricket in Saint Lucia. As the Kings bask in their glory, Preity’s heartfelt message serves as a reminder of the passion and commitment that drives cricket teams toward greatness.
