Royals vs Tallawahs, 6th Match at Basseterre, CPL, Aug 28 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
6.13 pm Royals finally get their first points of the season. Reifer with a crucial double-wicket over to claim Brathwaite and Russell sandwiched around a slew of wides. Not the cleanest game you'll ever see with plenty of drops on both sides interspersed with some very good moments too from Walsh Jr in particular.
Raymon Reifer is the Player of the Match: "My mindset wasn't so much on who was to come, but was just about executing one ball at a time and hitting my yorkers."
That's it from us today. Come back for more CPL doubleheader action tomorrow. Take care!
