00:00Hello everyone and welcome in to Warner again. St Kitts and Nevis, Warner Park. We're ready
00:08for match number five in season 12 of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League. It's
00:14the Battle of the Saints. Patriots up against the Kings. This was of course the grand finale
00:20in season, well, 2021. Not that long ago, but it seems a while ago now. It's off straight
00:33away. Got to be quick. Fletcher. I think they're going to have to check this. Zahid Basarath
00:42from Trinidad and Tobago is the man in the hot seat. He's our third official upstairs.
00:52Thick edge. It goes away towards the boundary. First to four. Looked like the ball almost
00:59stuck in his hand there, Gouveia. Just couldn't quite release it. What a shot that is. Power
01:09and perfect placement. 16 for what it is now. Oh no. The extra ball goes for six and
01:19it's the first. Onto that very quickly. That has been creamed. This is a dangerous looking
01:32Kyle Mears tonight. Shot really well placed to get over Faf at middle. With the win and
01:45it carries it over the boundary for six. Off the back foot. Wow. That is power. Serious
01:54power. Monstrous. Oh, wow. Three sixes in the over. Two play together. Did it just
02:09sneak through? Oh, really? Yeah, he had the freedom, Lewis, to go down the ground because
02:18middle was up. It brings up. Really good. This has been such a good innings from Evan
02:27Lewis. The job is. When he is in this mode, he is extremely hard to stop. 100. He's had
02:37some success in the CPL and he'll start with a bit of an unlucky moment. The middle was
02:46up. That's Faf du Plessis and all he can do is turn and watch it sail over his head.
02:54Seize an opportunity for runs and to break the shackles.
03:01Walking on to the back foot and using all his power to clear the rope.
03:06Wow, that's a wonderful stroke. That's gone a long, long way.
03:15They just keep hitting them further and further.
03:23Too much of a follow through, but he's just punched that a long way over the boundary.
03:27Kyle Mayers, and that is a shot of beauty and what an effort for the.
03:36Faf has work to do and he can't get there. Even Faf.
03:42Huge into the wind, not into the wind. It doesn't matter.
03:48Went York again, but it just tells you the margins of error in this sport. That was barely off.
03:57This man is so powerful, it is ridiculous.
04:06Very straight and again, mid-off is up. So good awareness from Kyle.
04:12Yeah, it was wider. I don't think he'll be too upset with that, Joseph, because that.
04:18Good sign. That wind is so strong, it brings all the weather in quickly.
04:24And I don't think the pitchers will be too happy about this because seven.
04:30You can see that it clearly has had an impact on two guys who
04:33everything they touched seemed like it was going to the boundary and.
04:39There it is. It will be a second CPL 100 for Evan Lewis and another at Warner Park.
04:47A kingdom he has ruled now.
04:49Is this a chance? It is. It's well judged, you know,
04:52Gavia on the boundary, so Mears can't get to his 100.
04:58And Visa, this is the skill set and execution at the back end he's done for so many years.
05:06Misses out what a final over that is from David Visa, two wickets and just three runs.
05:12And the Patriots get taking on the St. Lucia Kings.
05:16We've got a tasty one for you.
05:18Two or two is the target.
05:21Speaking of tasty, well, St. Kitts and Nevis, it really is
05:24the perfect destination to travel to.
05:28Think about some places of interest.
05:30You can visit us in Frigate Bay. You can go to Sandy Point.
05:35There's that lateral movement, but there's the first boundary as well.
05:43Very good.
05:44Very good. Very good adjustment from Johnson Charles.
05:47We haven't always seen this against spin.
05:51That has been timed immaculately.
05:57It's a simplicity control.
06:00Inward movement yet again.
06:02It works against Charles and what a night Kyle Mears is having
06:07for his Patriots team Eldorado.
06:09Just a reminder as well, folks, we'll see.
06:18Deep third can't get there.
06:20Mears will be.
06:23Deep third.
06:25Takes it, gets to it this time.
06:28Kyle Mears.
06:33Hasn't got it, but it's never easy running over your shoulder.
06:36Oh my goodness.
06:38What a blind up from Kyle Mears.
06:44Well played.
06:45Well played by Roston Chase, knowing that there's fine leg and no back.
06:50Oh, knocks him over.
06:52Norquia has been special in this year's Republic Bank CPL.
06:57It is all happening for the Patriots tonight.
07:02Well, that has been pounced upon by Tim Seifert.
07:07Oh, it's another beauty fumbled by the keeper.
07:11And this is going to be bonus runs for the Kings.
07:15Should have been.
07:18Oh, that's beautiful.
07:20You can't get it much straighter than that.
07:25Digs it into the surface and Seifert picks up the length
07:28quick enough to dispatch that for six.
07:33Gone well across his stumps.
07:35Gives him the opportunity to access that leg side boundary.
07:44Now out into the leg side, just behind square and to.
07:49Use of the feet and takes full advantage of the free hit.
07:58Roger Paksa once more adding to the partnership and to.
08:04Play the best player on your Kings team.
08:08Johnson, Johnson, my team.
08:12And fake it, fake it, leave it, fake it.
08:15We are all in.
08:16Well, she can preach.
08:17We continue.
08:19It's nice, nice vibes.
08:22The vibe is nice.
08:27Oh, this is unbelievable hitting by Tim Seifert in his first game.
08:34So this is key.
08:35He's got two men back there,
08:36but he's bowled something wide and short and it's gone for four.
08:42Oh, Mears, Mears, yes.
08:46The man can do no wrong tonight.
08:49And Odin Smith.
08:53I missed he missed his length badly there.
08:56Ryan John, it's too easy at the.
09:01That is huge.
09:02And this was always the risk bowling shot.
09:07This could be more.
09:07It will be more.
09:09This is pressure now on the Patriots and Roger Paksa.
09:16All through the hands of Mika Louie.
09:19They've done themselves no favours with the.
09:23Going to do it there.
09:25Got into that leg stump line of the left handed.
09:28David Visser loves it leg side any time he gets an opportunity.
09:35Step down the crease.
09:37And this is massive.
09:40That's huge.
09:42It means that.
09:45Leg side again.
09:46There's been a lot of that.
09:48And the St.
09:48Lucia Kings can celebrate victory here in St.
09:52Kitts.
09:53They've won the Battle of the Saints.
09:54It's their highest choice in.
