Skipper praises Falcons after maiden CPL title

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons captain Moeen Ali has hailed his team’s maiden Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title, crediting their unity and perseverance after they defeated the Jamaica Kingsmen by eight-wickets at Kensington Oval on Sunday.

The Falcons, roared on by a huge crowd, completed a memorable campaign with a commanding 173 for two in 17 overs, after restricting the Kingsmen to 170 for nine.

“It’s been a tough journey, but a great journey. The time’s gone by quickly for us because we enjoyed each other’s company and you can see on the field the way we played. I thought tonight was an outstanding performance again,” Ali said.
