Kings vs Amazon, Qualifier 1 at Providence, CPL 2024, Oct 02 2024 - Match Result

Johnson Charles, Player of the Match: It's all about being positive, having that positive intent. I have been dismissed the most by left-arm spinners but still you got to be positive and you still got to find ways to score. I am all about the positive intent and getting my team off to a great start. It's all about keeping that positive intent going. The game is evolving and you got to keep up pace. Seeing that bowlers are always studying you and always trying to keep you bogged down, it's all about staying up with the pace. I have been practicing different ways of scoring whether it's switch hit or paddle sweep off the pacers and it's going good for me. (on partnership with Faf du Plessis) We feed of each other's energy. We have different styles of play; that gives us a very good understanding and it also plays with the bowlers' minds. This means a lot; for so many years we have been trying. I believe this year is our year. I think we have a very good chance and it's our year to win this

Kings go through to the final; there will be no further play as the crestfallen fans leave the stands. Saint Lucia Kings have won by 15 runs according to the DLS

The cut-off time for resumption is 11:25pm. We saw a surprise yesterday with the power outage close to the cut-off time, so let's see if another one is in store for us!

10:56pm: And now we've started to lose overs. The rain has softened but the mopping up will take some time. The Super Sopper is making rounds

Darren Balchand: "At the ground. Steady drizzle but seems to be easing "

Duggu: "@Harsh S - Looks like Air Hetmyer is delayed to weather and there are chances that it can rescheduled to take off on Friday"

Vaughn Duncan: "I believe the Cricket Gods are having fun. "

Abid: "If my mathematics is on point, the DLS score at the end of 13 overs is 132."

10:25pm: The covers are still firmly in place, with only the pitch and square covers on. The outfield is getting wet and there's a steady drizzle of rain. Fans have moved up the aisles for some shade. Let's hope it stops soon so we can have a proper contest, unlike last night's curtailed and unconventional match. The floodlights are shining brightly. If there's no more action, Saint Lucia Kings will earn a direct ticket to the final

Starting to drizzle, groundstaff is ready with the covers. Players are going off so we'll have a delay. Let's hope it's a passing shower. Batters would have loved to continue but they'll have to restart. GAW are 15 runs behind according to the DLS

Robin Singh: "So if it's not black out, it's weather! "

Afeef: "If the floodlights don't get you, the rain will"

Harsh S.: "Air Hetmyer has taken off!"
