The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons edged out the Barbados Royals in a nail-biting match, with Shamar Springer’s last-ball victory securing their third spot on the points table. The Royals, struggling to find form, remained winless after six games, while the Falcons strengthened their position with a hard-fought win.
The match saw several dropped catches and wayward bowling from the Royals, which ultimately proved costly. Andries Gous’s impressive 85 not out led the Falcons’ charge, but it was Springer who sealed the deal with a calm and collected finish.
The Royals’ captain, Rovman Powell, had hoped to defend 187 but two dropped catches and wayward bowling from Sherfane Rutherford proved too much for them. The Falcons’ victory marked their first win away from home this season, while the Royals continue to struggle in search of their first victory.
The match highlighted the unpredictable nature of the CPL, with both teams fighting hard for every run. As the competition heats up, fans can expect more thrilling matches like this one.
