Denesh Ramdin, roared on by a boisterous home crowd last evening at the Queen’s Park Oval, led the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) to an unlikely victory by four wickets over the previously undefeated St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots, with three balls to spare.
Chasing a target of 159, the Knight Riders found themselves needing 70 runs from the last six overs, with Brendon McCullum, 16, Sunil Narine, 5, Darren Bravo, 1, Colin Munro, 36, and Shadab Khan, 3, all back in the pavilion.
Ramdin arrived at the crease in the 7th over, at the fall of Darren Bravo, with the Knight Riders slumping at 42 for 3, and slipping behind the required run rate. With his skipper Dwayne Bravo, Ramdin turned the ship around between the 14th and 18th overs, as they hammered the Patriots attack to the tune of 41 runs, before Bravo was run out for 20 off 12 balls, which included two boundaries and one six.
