CPL 2022: Mayers, Mujeeb star as Barbados score sixth win in a row
Owen Barnes Port of Spain, Sep 14 (IANS) Barbados Royals batsmen Kyle Mayers and Corbin Bosch put on 98 for the subsequent wicket and made it a simple eight-wicket prevail upon Trinbago Knight Riders in the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
This was after Mujeeb Ur Rehman accepted three for 17 as TKR were limited to 132.
That assisted Barbados Royals with keeping their unbeaten run in salvageable shape as they made it six successes from six matches in CPL.
The Barbados Royals won the throw and selected to handle first. Their spinners Rahkeem Cornwall and Mujeeb Ur Rahman unleashed destruction as four wickets fell in the initial seven overs and the Knight Riders attempted to get once more into the game.
Nicholas Pooran set up a courageous battle with an engaging 50 years yet the 132 they posted was shy of a cutthroat aggregate.
Pursuing the unobtrusive objective Mayers hit a rankling 79 to shock the group at Queens Park Oval and Royals traveled to an agreeable success.
Bowling first Royals took out the Knight Riders top request in Powerplay. Cornwall and the appearing Mujeeb Ur Rahman excused Tion Webster, Colin Munro and Tim Seifert with hardly a pause in between to leave Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard with a significant salvage work on their hands.

At the point when Pollard tumbled to Rahman straight after the Power Play all looked lost for the Knight Riders however Pooran and Narine set up a fine modifying organization to leave the host group very much set at 100 for 4 with five overs to go. That didn’t keep going long.
For Knight Riders Daryn Dupavillon gave the early bliss by clean bowling Cornwall for one. However at that point the Hero CPL driving run scorer, Kyle Mayers, hit a dazzling 79 from 35 balls to direct the Royals to the edge of triumph. Corbin Bosch and Quinton De Kock saw out the leftover runs with least quarrel.
Brief scores: Trinbago Knight Riders: 132 of every 20 overs (Nicholas Pooran 52, Sunil Narine 30, Mujeeb Ur Rehman 3/17) lost to Barbados Royals 133/2 out of 16 overs (Kyle Mayers 79, Corbin Bosch 33 not out) by eight wickets.
