Jason Holder 32/2(4)
OUT! LBW! Jason Holder has pulled things off for the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots! Much funner, on middle, Daniel Sams looks to flick it but misses and wears it on his pads. A loud appeal and the finger goes up. Daniel Sams refers. Ultra Edge shows no spike and Ball Tracking shows three reds. The onfield decision stands OUT! St Kitts and Nevis Patriots beat the Barbados Royals by just one run and kept their hopes alive for the playoffs!

SIX! All the way! Much fuller, on leg, Rassie van der Dussen takes a step forward and plunders it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. What a shot from Rassie van der Dussen.
