Having been put into to bat the Tallawahs struggled to find a partnership that could hold their innings together. Chadwick Walton and Chris Gayle got the team off to a steady start in the batting PowerPlay. They put on 33 runs for the first wicket before Walton was out for 16, caught in the covers by Jason Mohammad off the bowling of Rayad Emrit.
Gayle was clearly intent on batting deep into the Tallawahs’ innings and he was going at under a run a ball throughout his innings. He had made 33 from 36 balls when he inside edged onto his stumps.
The Tallawahs kept trying hard to get the run rate up, but that resulted in wickets falling at regular intervals. Kumar Sangakkara departed for a run a ball 20 when he attempted to slog Adam Zampa over mid-wicket and found the fielder. Getting out once set was the story of the Tallawahs’ innings.
Rovman Powell and Andre Russell hit Hero Maximums before they both fell within six balls of each other and when that left the Tallawahs 123-5 with three overs to go. With those big hitters gone there was little chance of getting to a truly impressive total, but for a while it looked like it would be enough
A lengthy rain delay kept the players from the field but when they did resume Lynn carried on his excellent form in this year’s Hero CPL passing 400 runs for the season, becoming the leading run scorer in this year’s tournament in the process.
