Rain frustrates TKR, Patriots

GROS ISLET, St Lucia, CMC – Rain allowed only three overs before forcing a no-result in the third game of the Caribbean Premier League between Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots here yesterday.

Sent in at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, TKR had reached 19 for one after half hour when the rain arrived to drive players from the field.

While the rain abated and the covers were subsequently removed an hour later, the adverse weather returned while players awaited the restart, forcing officials to call time on the encounter.

In the time available, New Zealander Martin Guptill missed a drive at left-arm speedster Sheldon Cottrell and was bowled for 11, just three deliveries before the game was halted.

The game was the first one for both teams.
