4 outs on 24 runs, still won the match, the hard work of the player who scored a century in 54 balls went in vain

 

On one hand, the Test series is going on between Pakistan-Bangladesh and England-Sri Lanka, while the thrill of T20 cricket is also going on in the West Indies. A similar match was played in the Caribbean Premier League, in which there was a heavy rain of runs and more than 400 runs were scored. A brilliant century was also scored, while a batsman also missed the century, but still, the victory was of the team which lost 4 wickets for just 24 runs. In this match played in St. Kitts, the host team St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots had to face defeat by 5 wickets. St. Lucia Kings achieved the target of 202 runs based on the explosive innings of Tim Seifert and Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

Lewis's explosive century

In this match, St. Kitts batted first and scored 201 runs in 20 overs. Opener Evin Lewis batted brilliantly and scored a brilliant century. Lewis faced only 54 balls in his innings and returned unbeaten after scoring 100. During this, 9 fiery sixes and 7 fours also came off his bat. He shared a 199-run partnership for the second wicket with Kyle Mayers. Mayers scored 92 runs during this time and missed the century. However, Mayers' innings was a bit slow and he faced 62 balls and hit 7 sixes and 6 fours.

Match ended in just 17.2 overs

The target was not easy for St. Lucia and it became even more difficult when it lost 4 wickets for just 24 runs. By the fourth over of the innings, 4 of its top 5 batsmen had returned to the pavilion for just 24 runs, including a legendary batsman like Faf du Plessis. Such a big target in front and then 4 big batsmen returned to the pavilion so soon. In such a situation, defeat seemed certain but Seifert and Rajapaksa had decided something else.

Both of them together made a strong partnership of 103 runs in just 43 balls for the fifth wicket and brought the team back. During this, Seifert was out on a score of 127. He scored 64 runs in just 27 balls, which included 6 sixes and 4 fours.
