Quinton de Kock
Commentry
Right then, that is it from the rain-curtailed game. The Caribbean Premier League, 2024 action continues as we have a game lined up on Friday, the 13th of September. It will be between the Saint Lucia Kings versus the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at 4.30 am IST (11 pm GMT). Do join us a bit early for the build up as well. Until then, take care, and cheers!
Quinton de Kock is the Player of the Match for his knock of 48 runs!
Earlier in the game, the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons scored 176 after being put into bat. They had a solid start with Brandon King and Justin Greaves scoring 55 runs for the opening wicket. However, the middle overs were challenging, with Sam Billings and Greaves adding runs steadily for the second wicket but lost wickets in clusters as they attempted to accelerate. Keshav Maharaj, making his CPL debut, bowled well with figures of 1/19. They pressed the accelerator towards the end to reach a competitive total.
The Antigua & Barbuda Falcons displayed commendable bowling performance, managing to maintain pressure on the batters throughout, yet they were unable to break the crucial Quinton de Kock-Alick Athanaze partnership for a quite long. While they kept the run rate in check, a shift in momentum occurred during an expensive long over by Roshon Primus, which went for 23 runs, thus allowing the Royals to gain the upper hand in the match before the rain break.
Bad news, folks! The rain has the final say in the game and the game has been CALLED OFF due to heavy rain. BARBADOS ROYALS WIN THE GAME BY 10 RUNS (DLS METHOD). They encountered a challenging beginning to their innings, however, they found their footing after the departure of Rahkeem Cornwall. Quinton de Kock and Alick Athanaze formed a solid partnership, effectively stabilizing the innings and accumulating runs at a brisk pace. Athanaze had an unfortunate dismissal, which was a pivotal moment, and shortly thereafter, Quinton de Kock also fell victim to the bowling attack before rain interrupted play. They were 12 runs ahead when the play started again and after just 3 balls of play, the rain returned and handed them their third win in a row.
Update 8.44 am IST (3.14 am GMT) - Nothing new to update. The rain continues to fall here at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, and the covers are firmly on. We might start losing overs soon.
Update 8.24 am IST (2.54 am GMT) - Uh oh! The rain continues to play hide and seek. It is back again and a bit heavy now. The groundsmen are quick to get the covers on again. Barbados Royals are 10 runs ahead of the DLS at the moment. This could be a longer delay. Stick around for regular updates...

UPDATE - 7.54 am IST (2.24 am GMT) - Scratch the previous update! The rain is back and so are the covers. Ugh, this is frustrating. The Barbados Royals are 12 runs ahead of the DLS score at the moment.

UPDATE - 7.41 am IST (2.11 am GMT) - There is a bit of drizzle here at the Kensington Oval, Barbados. No, no, it has got a bit heavy now and the groundsmen are quick enough to get the covers on. Let's hope its just a passing shower and it goes away soon. Fingers crossed.
