St Lucia Zouks beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 6 wickets
That is it from this game! St Lucia Zouks get 2 more points and they are placed in the 2nd position of the points table. The next match is between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders in Trinidad. Join us at 1730 local (2130 GMT). Till then, take care!
Daren Sammy, the Zouks skipper, tells that they have a different vibe and good energy in the team. Feels that the management has done a great job in selecting the team. On the fifer of Nabi, Sammy says that he is an amazing player and praises his performance. Adds that people often ask him how will replace someone like Chris Gayle and then Sammy says that he answers saying that it gives someone else an opportunity. Tells that he is a leader as well which makes his task easier. Agrees with the opposition skipper regarding the surface being a poor one and tells that he doesn't want the toss to be such a big factor.
Rayad Emrit, the Patriots skipper, starts by telling that it is harsh on the players when they turn up for the game and the pitch behaves like this. Feels he can't blame his batters and adds it was a good effort from them to get over 100. Tells the toss was important as the wicket was damp early on. Reckons they have shown a good fight but they need to work hard for their next games. Finishes by saying that they have got a few positives from this game.
MOHAMMAD NABI IS NAMED MAN OF THE MATCH. He starts by saying that small chases are always a bit tricky but credits Cornwall for the kind of start he gave them. Praises the knock from his countrymen, Zadran as well. Adds that most of the time the team he plays for qualifies for the playoffs. Mentions the morale of the team is very high and they will try to keep the morale high for the next game as well.
And that's what transpired eventually despite a brilliant effort from Imran Khan who took a 3-fer. Tanvir was hammered for 20 in the first over and the Patriots could not recover from that early punch. Jaggesar too bowled well but wickets were what that they needed and it didn't come on time for the Patriots and the result for everyone to see. Stay tuned for the presentation.
Earlier in the game, it was a sorry show with the bat from the Patriots as Nabi ran through their top order and left them reeling at 11 for 4 after 3 overs. Few handy runs from Dunk and Joseph towards the end meant that they just managed to get over 100. However, that was always going to be a little too less. Nabi was the star who took 5 in his 4-over spell and just didn't allow the Patriots' batsman to get going.
The Patriots needed wicket early and in heaps. They got their first in the 3rd over but before that, Cornwall had done his job during his 11-ball 26. Rain interrupted for a bit but Fletcher along with Chase calmly scored runs, despite he lost Deyal on the first ball after the resumption. After the wicket of Fletcher, Zadran scored briskly and took the side home. Eventually, Chase stayed till the end to take the side home.
So, a stroll in the park in the end for the Zouks to seal the deal. A complete performance from them one would assume. First, it was the bowlers who did the job for them and then the batters turned up for this small run chase and ramped up the win with 32 balls left in the innings.

It goes high in the air towards long on where Joseph settles under the ball and takes the catch calmly. St. Lucia Zouks need 12 runs in 42 balls to win the match.

DRINKS! The game is more or less in the favor of the Zouks, one would assume with Chase and Zadran out in the middle and looking well for their 27-run stand so far. Apart from Imran, none of the Patriots' bowlers could deliver for them in their defense of this short total. Let's see if they can do some magic post this mini-break and force a collapse to take it till the end.

OUT! CAUGHT! Imran has another one. Is there any twist left in the game? A bit short and around off, Fletcher quickly rocks back and looks to hammer it over mid-wicket. However, he can't beat Kelly at mid-wicket. The ball hurried onto Fletcher and that meant that he didn't get all of it. He stands and shakes his head before trudging off.

Imran Khan To Mark Deyal OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Wow! What a start for the Patriots post the rain delay. Deyal is gone for a first-ball duck. Tossed up ball just around middle, Deyal looks to slog it on the leg side. However, he ends up getting a top edge towards mid on. Emrit, the skipper runs across from his position at mid on and takes a fine catch to his right. Imran will be on a hat-trick on the first ball of his next over.
Right! We are back again! The two umpires and the Patriots' players are already out in the middle. Andre Fletcher comes out to bat again. This time he has a new partner in Mark Deyal.
How much time will the Zouks take to end this run chase? They have got a perfect start and would not want to take it deep. However, the wicket is turning and gripping. They will have to be careful.
UPDATE 1230 local (1630 GMT) - Good news! Play to resume at 1235 local time!
UPDATE 1225 local (1625 GMT) - It has brightened up significantly. The rain has stopped as well and the covers are being peeled off now. The umpires are having a look at the wicket. We are not too far away from resumption. Stay tuned.
UPDATE 1220 local (1620 GMT) - Remember, if we don't return, the game will be called off as we have not got the mandatory 5 overs done in this run chase. The Zouks will be hoping to get at least 13 more balls while the Patriots wouldn't mind the rain. However, don't think they will be too happy to read the latest news.
UPDATE 1205 local (1605 GMT) - And, as he walks off, all the players walk off as well as the drizzle gets stronger and the umpires decided to go off for now. The pitch and the square getting protected. Let's hope this ends quickly and we return soon.

Jon-Russ Jaggesar to bowl from the other end. Before he can begin the over, there is a slight drizzle. However, not strong enough to force the players back. It has gone quite gloomy right now. Let's hope the drizzle is gone quickly before it is a stronger one. Emrit though is going on the attack with his spinner. A short leg in place.
