So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Arjun Bhalla. Do stay tuned to OneCricket and Cricket Exchange's coverage of a lot more matches.
Faf du Plessis: It was a good weekend for us. Very good team as well. It was very hot out there today and Roston was brilliant, good to see he's put in another one today. He's a great find for us, big heart - that's always really pleasing for a captain to see. Today I took a chance, Devon is such a powerful hitter, change it up today - it worked today, another day, he would've smashed four sixes and make us look like a fool. Hopefully we can keep going, we don't want to look too far ahead though, still a lot of cricket left in the competition.
Chris Gayle: Very disappointed. The guys got a chance to bat deep but didn't. We get out too easy and it's something to reflect on very quickly - we have got two days off, so need to reflect. Hopefully these two games gives us a bit of a kick and hopefully we can get back to winning again. A bit of complacence I guess, we had chances in this game but couldn't take them. We need that fighting spirit, we need that energy.
Roston Chase: Today was an easier task at hand. Run rate wasn't high. Mentality was to knock it around. Got a chance as well so that helped too. Pitch was getting better, lot easier to bat on. Thought Fletcher was going for it (Gayle's catch). But he backed out at the last minute, so had to go for it. Sammy's been talking about bounce-back-ability. Good for our confidence. What will be will be (selection for T20 WC). Just want to enjoy.
Roston Chase has bagged yet another, 'Man of the Match' award
Yet another one-sided victory for St Lucia Kings against the Patriots. There was a slight stutter initially for the Kings in this 119-run chase but Roston Chase held the innings together so that the team didn't collapse. Andre Fletcher got out of the very first delivery bowled by Fabian Allen albeit owing to a wrong LBW decision. The duo of Faf du Plessis and Keron Cottoy still made their intentions clear and produced a few boundaries.
Du Plessis' 22-run cameo came to an end in the fifth over when he slapped an Allen delivery straight to Dominic Drakes at mid-on. Just after the Powerplay finished, Keron Cottoy was dismissed by the rapid Naseem Shah. Thereafter, Naseem produced another another chance in the same over but Colin Archibald dropped the dangerous Roston Chase at mid-off. Samit Patel also got a reprieve as Paul van Meekeren dropped a catch off his own bowling.
After those nervy moments, Chase settled down and started to open up. He stitched a 46-run partnership with Samit and also reached the third fifty of this season. With the victory line very near, Van Meekeren got the better of Samit but Tim David came into the middle and showed his power-hitting skills. The Australian eventually finished the game with a maximum off Archibald's bowling

14.6 Meekeren to T David
6 UP AND OVER. THAT WAS HARD AND HANDSOME!!!! The game is almost, the Kings just need six more runs. Fuller in the channel. The batter smokes that flat over the long-off fence with brute muscle power.
14.5 Meekeren to T David
2 Short and wide. Tim moves across and slaps the ball over the man at point for a couple.
14.5 Meekeren to T David
WD Wide ball. The Dutch misses his length, bowls short and goes way over the batter.
14.4 Meekeren to T David
4 FOUR. Tim David is up and running. Powers the ball downtown for a boundary to open his account for the day. Length ball around off, he rocks back and hammers the ball hard past the bowler for a four.
14.3 Meekeren to T David
0 Fuller length ball on the stumps. David comes forward and defends it on the pitch.
