Kingsmen claim back-to-back wins

CPL – The Jamaica Kingsmen recorded their fourth win of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) with a 7-run win via DLS over the Trinbago Knight Riders, as the rain halted play just shy of 15 overs into the Kingsmen’s chase.

It was an unfortunate end to a match that was set for a thrilling conclusion as the Queen’s Park Oval provided plenty of runs for the crowd to enjoy. Vitel Lawes might have bowled the over of the tournament with a three-wicket maiden that eventually helped his side to stay the right side of the DLS margin.

It had been a bit of a slowish start for the defending champions losing three in row before last night’s win over the Tridents. Colin Munro and Sunil Narine had powered the Knight Riders into pole position last night and they didn’t miss a beat here as their form carried forward 24 hours. The two have combined for 197 runs across two opening partnerships, as they bettered their effort last night with a 101 run stand. Narine got his second half century in as many nights but was dismissed shortly after to Keemo Paul.
