Took wickets in 1 over, finished the game in 4 overs, this team could not escape the havoc of the 19-year-old bowler!

 

On September 3, there was a match in the Caribbean Premier League between two teams, one of which is at the top of the points table and the other is at the bottom. This match was between St. Lucia Kings and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. In the clash between these two teams, the St. Lucia Kings, captained by Faf du Plessis, won. On the other hand, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, captained by Chris Green, had to face defeat once again. The script of victory and defeat between the two teams was written by the player who wreaked havoc in a spell of 4 overs. The name of the player who ensured the victory of St. Lucia is Noor Ahmed.

Afghanistan's Noor Ahmed, playing for St. Lucia in CPL 2024, made the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons team dance to his tune. How uncomfortable he was feeling in reading them is evident from the fact that he bowled 14 dot balls out of the 24 balls he bowled in his quota. Meaning, he did not give any runs on them.

The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons team could only score 142 runs in 20 overs after losing 7 wickets in front of the sharp bowling of St. Lucia led by 19-year-old Noor Ahmed. No batsman from their side played a big innings. Opener Justin Greaves, who scored 36 runs in 26 balls, was the most successful batsman of the team. Apart from him, 2 batsmen could barely cross the threshold of 20 runs, one of whom was Imad Wasim who remained unbeaten after scoring 29 runs.

The batting of the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons was not very good because Noor Ahmed tied them down in his 4 overs. He took 3 wickets for 18 runs in his 4-over spell. Noor, who had an economy of 4.50, gave 2 boundaries on his balls. That is, he bowled 22 balls on which he did not give any boundary. He took the first wicket in the 14th over of Antigua and Barbuda Falcons' innings. While he took the remaining 2 wickets on the 4th and 5th balls of the 17th over.

After the amazing performance of 19-year-old Noor Ahmed, now it was the turn of the batsmen of St Lucia Kings to do wonders. They had a target of 143 runs to win. Faf du Plessis's team achieved this target by losing 3 wickets 18 balls earlier. That is, they chased the target in just 17 overs and won the match by 7 wickets. This is the second consecutive win of St Lucia Kings in CPL 2024. At the same time, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons' second consecutive defeat.
