Watch: Best Bowled Dismissal In A While; Brilliant Wicket In The CPL

The latest edition of the Caribbean Premier League is about to draw to a close. The CPL fans are having a great time, with the cricket that is being put on display. The teams are fighting hard to make an impact. The quality of the game has improved in the Caribbean and this is visible with the level of performance. Many of the West Indian players have gone in foreign leagues and made a name for themselves. Further, the Windies have won a couple of T20 World Cups, which is the highest by any nation so far. This is a great achievement and it brings back memories of their best years.

Dwayne Bravo-led St Kitts and Nevis Patriots defeated Nicholas Pooran's Guyana Amazon Warriors in the semi-final of the Caribbean Premier League 2021 on Tuesday (September 14). Chasing a big target of 179, Patriots rode on a classic show from their openers, Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis, who put up 76 runs for the first wicket in just 7.2 overs. The solid opening partnership laid the foundation for a big 7-wicket win for the Patriots, who had no issues in scaling the total whatsoever. Gayle batted at 155.56 for his 27-ball 42 while Lewis remained unbeaten on 77 off 39. His knock included 8 sixes.

Gayle, who has been batting at number 3 for West Indies, put up a strong case to be promoted as an opener again. He showed his big-hitting skills on the biggest stage in the Caribbean and played a pivotal role in the run chase.

Keeping that in mind, fast-bowling is a trend that has been embraced by the nation for a long-long time. It is an art form that has been kept alive in the region for decades.
