And that’s all from this pulsating clash, where Saint Lucia Kings have registered their first win. Now, the Caribbean Premier League 2025 moves forward to Match 7, where Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will take on the Trinbago Knight Riders on Thursday, August 21st. The match begins at 4.30 am IST (11 pm GMT, previous day), and as always, our pre-match coverage will start an hour earlier with all the insights, analysis, and buildup. After a game like this, the excitement only builds further, so join us early and don’t miss a ball. Until then, take care! CIAO!
The skipper of the Saint Lucia Kings, David Wiese, admits that things got a little too close for comfort in the end but is glad his side managed to pull it off eventually. Feels that 200 was a decent effort and about par for the surface, though he believes they left a few runs out there despite strong contributions from Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, and Tim David. On Khary Pierre’s spell, Wiese praises the left-arm spinner for bowling beautifully even against two left-handers, proving the doubters wrong. He explains that the team had spoken about sticking to their plans regardless of a couple of boundaries and was pleased that it paid off, with Tim David also taking a sharp catch at a crucial stage. On his captaincy, he stresses that while results cannot always be controlled, what matters most is clarity in plans and sticking to the process.
The skipper of the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Jason Holder, reflects with pride on his team’s effort, especially highlighting the performance of debutant Navin Bidaisee. Says that some people might have thought they were behind in the game, but credit goes to the boys for the fightback. Holder feels the bowlers did a reasonable job to restrict the opposition to 200, which he considers close to par on this ground, but losing two or three wickets in the middle pushed them back and forced a rebuild. Mentions that he tried to pick his areas and bowlers, knowing this is a boundary-scoring ground, and while happy with the effort, he admits he would have loved to take the team a bit further. Praising Bidaisee’s fantastic innings under pressure, Holder calls it remarkable for a debutant to bat that way and adds that for both Jyd Goolie and Bidaisee, the key will be not to get too high or too low, as these are important learning moments early in their careers.
Roston Chase is named the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his all-round showing. He says it was a nerve-wracking contest that made for a hard-fought victory, and admits that the Kings should have closed it out a lot easier. Still, he mentions that he is happy with the two points. Chase shares that his intention when he walked out to bat was simply to get the innings going, assess the wicket, and look to play his natural game. He believes it is not really difficult for him to switch between formats. On his bowling, he mentions that his style is to keep things tight and build pressure, which in turn creates wicket-taking opportunities.
Time for the Post-Match Presentations...
Earlier in the evening, Jason Holder won the toss and invited the Saint Lucia Kings to bat first. But it was Johnson Charles and Roston Chase who set the stage for the Kings. Charles provided a fiery start with his 52, smashing boundaries at will after early wickets fell. Chase then took over the baton with a fluent 61, playing the anchor while still finding gaps regularly. Tim David added the finishing touch with a blistering 46, but the Kings stumbled at the back end, managing only 13 runs in the final two overs. That slowdown nearly cost them the game, but in the end, their 200 proved just about enough to stay ahead.
The Saint Lucia Kings’ bowlers had their share of nervous moments but did just enough to scrape through. Khary Pierre was superb in the Powerplay, picking up two key wickets and putting the Patriots under pressure early. Roston Chase showed his all-round value, not just with the bat but also with the ball, where he dismissed both Rossouw and the dangerous Holder at a critical stage. Skipper David Wiese also played a big role with his experience, taking two wickets, including the set Navin, right at the last ball. But Tabraiz Shamsi had an off day, who leaked runs, while Alzarri Joseph walked off with a niggle in the penultimate over, but the collective effort was enough for them to protect their total.
Holder was simply sensational, blasting 63 off just 29 balls with 6 massive sixes. He took the attack to the spinners and brought the Patriots roaring back into the chase. At the other end, young Navin Bidaisee, who was playing his first CPL match, struggled initially, stuck on 11 off 18 balls, but once Holder fell, the debutant rose to the occasion. He unleashed a flurry of hits against Tabraiz Shamsi and brought up his maiden fifty in the end, showing promise by holding one end. Together with Jyd Goolie, Navin kept the fight alive till the very last ball, only to fall short by the narrowest margin. His dismissal on the final delivery, needing a boundary, summed up the cruel beauty of this game, where courage was shown, but victory was just out of reach.
Chasing 201, the Patriots began with positive intent through Andre Fletcher and Kyle Mayers. Fletcher struck some crisp boundaries while Mayers looked sharp, but both openers couldn’t convert their starts. A sudden collapse in the Powerplay saw them stumble to 49/3, leaving their chase in serious trouble. Rilee Rossouw and Mikyle Louis departed quickly, and at 61/4, the Patriots were in deep trouble. But then came skipper Jason Holder, who completely changed the mood of the match with his fearless intent and smashed some breathtaking boundaries.
PEAK-ENTERTAINMENT! What a THRILLING and HEART-STOPPING contest we have witnessed in Basseterre! The game had everything for us, and finally, a result that came down to the very last ball. Both teams had their moments, both fans had their hearts racing, and in the end, it was the Saint Lucia Kings who held their nerve to clinch a stunning 3-run win. The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, desperate to end their losing run, came agonizingly close but just couldn’t get those last four runs that would have rewritten the script. In the end, it was smiles for the Kings, heartbreak for the Patriots and the youngster Navin Bidaisee who fought till the last ball.

David Wiese 34/2(4)
OUT! CAUGHT! Taken safely by Tim David, and it is a heartbreak for the home side! The debutant, Navin Bidaisee, is down on his haunches in despair. Wiese gets the yorker wrong, and this is right in the slot, on off. Navin gets under the ball and connects it sweetly, but fails to get the elevation. Hits it flat towards the long off fence, where David moves across to his right and takes it at neck height. Saint Lucia Kings win this thriller by 3 runs!

Executes the wide yorker, outside off, Jyd Goolie walks across and gets low. Squeezes it out in front of deep cover and the batters will have to settle for a single. 4 needed off the final ball for the Patriots. Can Navin be the hero?

FIFTY FOR NAVIN! What a knock on CPL debut from Bidaisee. He was 11 off 18 at one stage and the way he has turned it on has been exceptional. Low full toss from around the wicket, outside off, Navin hits it in front of extra cover for a single.

Wide! Wiese spots Navin move towards the off stump and he fires in a wide yorker but this is a bit too wide beyond the tramline. Now, 6 needed off 5 balls.

SIX! An ideal start to the final over for the Patriots! David Wiese gets it all wrong and pays the price. Looks to get the yorker in but serves a thigh-high full toss, wide on off, Navin Bidaisee reaches out and carves it over the deep backward point fence for a six. 7 off 5 needed for St Kitts and Nevis!
