On the 27th encounter of the 2025 season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Barbados Royals locked horns with the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. The home captain, Rovman Powell, won the toss and decided to bowl first on a surface that was anticipated to get slow in the second innings. 

Barbados retained their same playing eleven after earning their opening victory in the last game. On the other hand, the Patriots made just one change. Their opening left-handed batter, Rilee Rossouw, got out of the eleven, and Evin Lewis, who recovered from his injury, came back into the side.

Jason Holder’s 53* leads St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to 150/7

Mohammed Rizwan, the wicket-keeper opening batter, bashed 39 runs in 36 balls with the help of four boundaries and one six. Their middle order couldn’t do well apart from Jason Holder.

The former Barbados Royals batter clubbed an unbeaten knock of 53 runs in 30 balls at a strike rate of 176.67, with the help of five sixes and one boundary. Navian Bidaisee nailed 30 runs in 23 balls at a strike rate of 130.43 with two fours and one six to post 150/7 in their allotted 20 overs of the first innings.

Rassie van der Dussen also nailed a fine knock of unbeaten 37 runs in 27 balls with two fours and one six.

However, the Patriots held their nerve beautifully on defense. Dussen nailed a six on the first ball of the last over, but the Royals needed two runs off the last ball. And Holder picked up the wicket of Daniel Sams to claim the one-run victory to breathe for another day.

Full Scorecard Summary-

Pakistan’s ODI captain, Mohammed Rizwan, was under tremendous pressure in the shortest format for the last couple of years, and it resulted in him getting omitted from the T20I side for the national side during the 2025 season of the Asia Cup in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He signed a deal with the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots during the 2025 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). 

It wasn’t a great innings either for the right-handed batter at the start of the tournament. The pressure was getting higher on Mohammad Rizwan before he delivered against the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Providence Stadium. On the second ball of the innings, he shimmied down the ground for a huge six over deep mid-wicket before ramping Romario Shepherd for a boundary.

On the first ball of the final over in the powerplay, the veteran shuffled inward and got a bit of a stride towards the ball to seep Moeen Ali behind the square. He later played a big slog sweep over deep mid-wicket. Rizwan fletched it from a wide line and sent it to the stands for a six.

On the penultimate ball of the eleventh over, Rizwan got a top edge on the bounce to smash Hassan Khan in the short fine region for a boundary. Two balls later, he beat the backward point fielder to play the cut short against Gudakesh Motie for a boundary across the ropes. He was the only batter to stay longer and till the last over of the first innings at the crease.

On the third ball of the 20th over, he picked the bones of a slower delivery from Shepherd to shovel it high over the deep mid-wicket region for a huge six. He got run out on the very next ball for 85 runs in 62 balls at a strike rate of 137, thanks to eight fours and three sixes.

St Kitts ended with 149/6 in their allotted 20 overs during the first innings. Guyana’s batters couldn’t contribute much in the second innings and were restricted to 144/8 in their allotted 20 overs in the chase as St Kitts earned a five-run victory to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs spot.

During the 25th fixture of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025, Guyana Amazon Warriors faced off against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

The Warriors decided to retain the same playing eleven, while the Patriots made three changes to the side. Rilee Rossouw, Leniko Boucher, and Dominic Drakes came into the playing eleven in place of Alick Athanaze, Jyd Goolie, and Evin Lewis.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots struggle their way to 149/6

Apart from Mohammed Rizwan, who got the chance to open the batting in this clash for the Patriots, none of the away batters were able to contribute to the batting department individually.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots struggle to reach 153/8

It wasn’t a great evening for the Patriots with the bat. Veteran wicket-keeper batter, Andre Fletcher, smashed 60 runs in 41 balls at a strike rate of 146.34 with the help of five sixes and one four. The middle order couldn’t contribute at all to their batting.

Pitch Report:

Warner Park has typically been a good batting wicket, with good bounce and a quick outfield for playing shots. Seamers could see some movement in the first few overs, especially if it's in the evening and under lights. Spinners will probably come into the game in the middle overs as the pitch starts to slow up a little. Historically, Warner Park has been a high-scoring ground, so teams might have a strong preference for chasing here based on their experience.
