Super Four - Match 2, St Lucia, July 04, 2020, 12:00 AM
115/4(10.0ov)
91/5(10.0ov)
Gros Islet Cannon Blasters beat Mon Repos Stars by 24 runs
Well, it was an extremely slow start by Mon Repos chasing 116 for victory. They kept losing wickets regularly too and the pyrotechnics towards the end was too little, too late. It was completely lopsided and Gros Islet always looked to be in the driver's seat, from the start to the end. That's it for now. Goodbye and a happy weekend....

Starts with a full delivery on middle, Charles looks to sweep but fails to get any bat on it.
The run-chase is all set to get underway! Both the Mon Repos' openers are out to the middle. They need a good start in order to chase this down.
A very competitive total from Gros Islet, coming out to bat first. Goodman-Serieux partnership was 66, playing a valuable hand in getting this very respectable score. The bowlers went for plenty. Chasing down that total will be a mountain climb for Mon Repos. Will they? Let's see as they come to the crease shortly.

The pitch has been a batting paradise in this tournament and it promises to be run-fest. Join us in a while.
