Jamaica Tallawahs 204 for 5 (Powell 64, Williams 3-34) beat St Lucia Stars 183 for 8 (Pollard 46, Simmons 45, Russell 2-15) by 21 runs
After ending their three-game Florida ‘home’ slate winless, the Jamaica Tallawahs looked more at ease in a true road setting as Andre Russell’s charges rediscovered the winning touch in St Lucia by scoring a 21-run win over St Lucia Stars. A match-up with the franchise holding the most losses in CPL history was just the tonic the Tallawahs needed to reclaim the first place on the table as Rovman Powell‘s splendid 64 took the Tallawahs past 200.
Needing 124 off the final 10 overs of the chase, the Stars threatened briefly behind David Warner, Kieron Pollard and Lendl Simmons but were left with too much work to do in the end after a poor start to their reply. With just four points from eight matches, Stars’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread as they head back on the road for their final two contests against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and Barbados Tridents.
