mistimes the slap to long-on, a single is all they'll get. Game, set and match for St Lucia Kings
Kings vs Royals, 24th Match at Providence, CPL, Sep 22 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Johnson Charles is the Player of the Match for his 41-ball 53.
On a pitch where there was raging turn, St Lucia Kings have taken two crucial points courtesy fine knocks from Johnson Charles and Tim Seifert. Except for Alleyne and de Kock, none of the other Royals batters managed to get themselves in. Their intent to get as many in the powerplay was right, but they just kept losing wickets. Wiese, who bowled a succession of cutters, was excellent as was Noor Ahmad as they picked up four wickets between themselves to set up the win.
