Barbados Royals vs Saint Lucia Kings, 24th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Delano Potgieter to Powell, FOUR, Potgieter is unlucky here. Short of length delivery, Powell takes it on and the top-edge flies wide of Seifert. Not in control but the luck is favoring the Royals at the moment..

Delano Potgieter to Powell, FOUR, again Potgieter not bowling to his field. He gifts a friendly full toss on the pads and that's an easy help along for anyone, Powell laps it wide of short fine and picks up the boundary

Delano Potgieter to Powell, SIX, Powell on fire. But this poor bowling. Potgieter's inexperience showing here. Another full toss and Powell is more powerful than Green, he goes down town and sends it sailing over long-off

Delano Potgieter to Chris Green, FOUR, this is a good start to the final over. Full toss outside off, Green opens the bat face and slices it over backward point, one bounce and over the ropes. Pressure on Potgieter..

Alzarri Joseph to Powell, FOUR, luck going Royals' way now. Full pitcher around off, Powell swings hard and the outside edge flies down to third man. That went fine and gave short third no chance

Alzarri Joseph to Powell, SIX, back to back sixes. Once again a mishit goes the distance. Fullish delivery around off, Powell swings hard and does not get it off the middle, drags it off the inner half but gets enough to clear the cow corner fence

Alzarri Joseph to Powell, SIX, that's more like Powell. He's got hold of this and sends it all the way. This is not even off the middle but the ball still travels the distance. Length delivery, right in the slot and Powell's bat turns on impact, but the ball ends up in the deep mid-wicket stand

Wiese to Powell, FOUR, 20 from the over. Just the impetus Royals needed. 124.9ks full and angled across, once again width on offer and the batter cashes in, Powell drives square and gives the sweeper no chance this time

Wiese to Chris Green, SIX, that's a gift and Green accepts it happily. Full toss on off-stump, Green maintains a solid base and swings it towards deep square leg. He struck it with the wind and the ball sailed away..

Wiese to Chris Green, FOUR, angled across from round the wicket, there's readymade width on offer and Green throws his bat on the slash, slices it wide of short third and Alzarri is not fit enough to chase it down

Shamsi to Rutherford, out Bowled!! Magical! Shamsi is pumped. He's gesturing something on the lines of what-did-I-tell-you to Seifert. Sammy is elated and stands up to applaud the wicket. This is a perfecly bowled googly which Rutherford has no answer to. Flighted around off, Rutherford lunges forward to defend but the ball spins in to sneak through the bat and pad gap, goes on to hit the off-stump. Classical left-arm leg-spinners dismissal.. Rutherford b Shamsi 16(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Delano Potgieter to van der Dussen, out Caught by Tim David!! Once again the Royals lose a wicket just when they were upping the run-rate. Low full toss outside off,, van der Dussen leans across and gets under it but does not get the elevation to clear extra cover, David stays right on the edge of the circle and laps it up comfortably. There's a front foot check and Potgieter had some part of his boot behind the line. van der Dussen c Tim David b Delano Potgieter 20(22) [6s-1]

Delano Potgieter to van der Dussen, SIX, much needed hit for van der Dussen. He needs to step up. 122.5ks fullish delivery, he walks down and heaves it over deep mid-wicket. Time to get a move on as there's plenty of batting to come..

Roston Chase to Rutherford, FOUR, 94.6ks short and around off, just a hint of width and Rutherford is quick to latch on, he unleashes a fierce cut shot and the ball races away behind square on the off-side

Wiese to van der Dussen, 2 runs, 106.4ks slower off-cutter on off, van der Dussen nudges it to mid-wicket and quickly scampers back

Wiese to Rutherford, SIX, wow! Second ball and Rutherford has deposited it into the stands. Wiese comes round the wicket and feeds it in the slot outside off, Rutherford pumps it high and over deep extra cover. What a hit!

Shamsi to Kadeem Alleyne, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Shamsi gets rid of the dangerous Alleyne and even coach Sammy is happy, applauds from the balcony. 90.7ks quicker and skidding on, Alleyne hangs back and tries to cut it off the stumps, gets beaten for pace and the ball strikes the leg-stump. Just when Alleyne started to get going, he departs. Kadeem Alleyne b Shamsi 39(21) [4s-3 6s-3]

Shamsi to Kadeem Alleyne, FOUR, streaky but it all counts. Fraction short and around off, Alleyne goes hard on the cut and slices it off a thick outside edge to third man. The ball races away fine and there's no stopping that

K Pierre to Kadeem Alleyne, SIX, another poor delivery from a spinner. Short and sliding down leg, Alleyne could pick his spot - he swivels around and smashes the pull behind square on the leg-side. 95-meter six.. He strikes them big

K Pierre to Kadeem Alleyne, FOUR, 85.5ks short of length around off, Alleyne slices the cut towards backward point and beats the diving fielder

Delano Potgieter to van der Dussen, no run, close but van der Dussen survives. Very full delivery outside off, he tries to jam it out and closes the bat face, the bat hits the ground and the ball misses it by a whisker before going to Seifert. It was not a team review but an umpire review..

Shamsi to Brandon King, out Caught by K Pierre!! Shamsi has his man but King added a few runs since he was dropped. This is a classical wrist spinners dismissal in this format. He floats it up outside off and makes the batter reach for it, King chases after and loses his balance, the front leg slides forward and he ends up slicing the big shot towards backward point, simple catch for Pierre and he makes no mistake. The partnership has been broken.. Brandon King c K Pierre b Shamsi 42(31) [4s-3 6s-3]

Shamsi to Kadeem Alleyne, SIX, boundaries are coming quickly now. This is an excellent shot. Not quite a bad delivery - Shamsi tosses it up invitingly around off, Alleyne kneels down and disaptches the slog sweep wide of long-on. 97-meter six..

Roston Chase to Brandon King, FOUR, another freebie that King accepts happily. Full toss on leg-stump and that's easy peasy for any batter, he leans forward and flicks it backward of square. No chance for the deep fielder to stop that

Roston Chase to Brandon King, SIX, back to back sixes for King. Almost a repeat of Shamsi's six. Chase drops one short and King is quick to pounce, transfers his weight back and hammers the pull to deep mid-wicket

Shamsi to Brandon King, SIX, Shamsi is frustrated. Not sure if it was about himself or Chase for dropping King. This is dragged short, King rocks back and nails the pull over the deep mid-wicket region

Shamsi to Brandon King, no run, dropped! Chase has put it down at slip. Shamsi cannot believe it. Another simple catch that the Kings can't hold on. Wrong 'un that spins away, King opens the bat face and guides it straight to slip. Chase stays low and misses it altogether, the ball hits him on the wrists and goes down

Wiese to Brandon King, no run, Kings lose a review. That was a poor one from Wiese. Knuckle ball and King does not spot it, he crouches low and swipes across the line, misses and is struck on the back thigh. The impact was around leg-stump and umpire's call, the ball was comfortably missing leg-stump

K Pierre to Kadeem Alleyne, FOUR, 91.1ks shortens the length, Alleyne has enough width to free his hands, opens the bat face and carves it in front of square on the off-side. A six and a four to end the over..

K Pierre to Kadeem Alleyne, SIX, wrong line from Pierre and he's made to pay. This one drifts into middle and leg, Alleyne sits down and launches the slog sweep into the deep mid-wicket stands. The line allowed Alleyne to play that shot

Alzarri Joseph to Brandon King, SIX, whoa! That's a massive hit. 133.9ks length delivery angled in, right in the slot for King to swing it into the leg-side, he swivels around and heaves it backward of square. Sent the ball sailing with the wind..

K Pierre to de Kock, out Caught by Charles!! Pierre does get rid of de Kock. This time his front foot is fine. Charles is the fielder once again and he takes it on the second attempt this time as well. de Kock kneels down to play the slog sweep, the ball spins with a bit of extra bounce and the top-edge goes straight up, Charles settles near mid-wicket and tries to take it with both hands, the ball pops up but does not go far from Charles, he manages to nab it the second time. de Kock c Charles b K Pierre 1(6)

K Pierre to Brandon King, no run, dropped! Delano puts down a regulation catch. Short and around off, King backs away and cuts it uppishly towards extra cover, Delano dives forward and makes a mess. That was an easy catch and there's no excuse of dropping it

Alzarri Joseph to Brandon King, FOUR, poor delivery and King helps himself to a boundary. Sliding onto the pads, King stays inside the line and glances it backward of square. Fine leg was inside the ring and he can't stop it

K Pierre to Brandon King, FOUR, this time King does not miss out. Very similar to the previous delivery - short and outside off, King cuts in front of square and pierces the packed off-side field
