Patriots misfire again

Article by

KINGSTON – Lowly St Kitts and Nevis Patriots slumped to their fourth straight defeat and their sixth in seven outings in the Caribbean Premier League, as Jamaica Tallawahs crushed them by 108 runs on Saturday night.

Chasing 184 for victory at Sabina Park, Patriots were 53 for two at one stage but lost their last eight wickets for just 22 runs to collapse quickly.

The innings was wrecked by Vincentian fast bowler Kesrick Williams who took three for 19 from his four overs while Bangladeshi left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan (2-2), South African pacer Dale Steyn (2-5) and seamer Andre Russell (2-11) all chipped in.

Barbados left-hander Jonathan Carter topscored with 23 from 20 deliveries batting at number four but he was just one of four batsmen in double figures and the only one to pass 20.(CMC)
