When the Patriots stepped up to chase down the target of 179, their journey was fraught with difficulties. They lost their seasoned openers, Evin Lewis and Andre Fletcher, within the first three overs. Imad Wasim proved instrumental in dismissing Lewis for just 2 runs, while Mohammad Amir had Fletcher caught behind for 11 runs. Amir’s spell concluded with impressive figures of 4/19 in 3.3 overs, while Imad made a significant contribution by claiming three wickets in his four-over spell, conceding 25 runs.

Despite a valiant effort from Yannic Cariah, who showcased his remarkable prowess with 65 runs off just 40 balls, marking his highest T20 cricket score, the Patriots found themselves eventually bowled out for a total of 119.

This resounding victory underscores the stellar performances of Amir and Imad, catapulting the Tallawahs closer to their CPL Playoff aspirations.

As cricket evolves with innovative rules, the episode involving Sunil Narine’s Red Card stands as a testament to the sport’s continuous adaptation and ability to surprise even its most seasoned players.

Shakib’s Guyana Amazon Warriors picked up their third win by beating St. Lucia Kings by 6 wickets early on Friday morning. However, the Bangladesh T20 captain scored a ‘golden duck’ in this match as well. Chasing the target of 195 runs given by the Kings, Guyana got off to a great start. Guyana scored 81 runs in 7 overs in the opening pair of Afghan star Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s stormy innings of 50 runs from 23 balls.

After that, the team lost 3 wickets in two consecutive overs. Among them was Shakib’s wicket. Chanderpaul Hemraj, who batted for 29 runs in the first ball of the eighth over, was sent back to the cage. The team lost Gurbaz who scored a half-century on the first ball of the next over. After the dismissal of the Afghan opener, Shakib went into bat. But just repeat the previous match. Shakib flew to the middle stump on the second delivery of Mark Deyal’s over. Shakib returned to Sajghar with the golden duck.

In the previous match too, Shakib got out on the first ball after batting for four against Jamaica Tallawahs. The left-arm spinner could not do much with the ball that day. He took 1 wicket with 30 runs in 4 overs. Guyana lost 3 wickets in a very short time on Friday and fell behind in the match. However, two Windies stars Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer’s 63-run partnership brought the team back into the match. Although the captain was dismissed for 36 runs, Shai Hope left the field with unbeaten innings of 59 runs from 30 balls.

Despite returning zero runs with the bat, Shakib can be said to be fairly successful with the ball. Earlier, the spin-all-rounder took 2 wickets with 33 runs in 4 overs in Kings’ batting innings.

There are several new rules in ‘Sixtyâ€? The game will be played on six wickets. That is, if a team’s six wickets fall, the innings will end. The third power-play will depend on the batting team. If you hit at least two sixes in the power play of the first two overs, then only the third power-play will be available. That’s why Gayle has talked about hitting two sixes in his statement.

There are also other rules. In these 10-over matches, the edge of the wicket will not change after every over. After bowling five consecutive overs from one end, the next five overs will have to be bowled from the other end of the wicket. You have to complete 10 overs of bowling within the stipulated 45 minutes. If not, a fielder will have to walk out of the field in the last over.

The last rule will directly connect the spectators to the game. The name of which is ‘Mystery Free Hit’. The spectators will decide when the batting team can take that free hit. Visitors can vote through a specific app or website. Based on the result of that vote, it will be decided when the batting team can take a free hit.

The tournament will be held in St Kitts from August 24 to 28. Gayle played in the CPL for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots last year. The team also won the title. However, he will not go to the CPL again.
