CPL 2021: Top 5 bowlers from the tournament
The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots were crowned the new champions of the Caribbean Premier League after they defeated Saint Lucia Kings in the final at St Kitts in a last-ball thriller. Chasing 160 in 20 overs, the Patriots rode on a fine piece of batting from Dominic Drakes who struck an unbeaten 48 off 24 that included three maximums and as many fours during the course. While the tournament saw a new team taking over the reign, it also witnessed some brilliant individual performances. Some of these individual contributions came from the bowlers as well where they single handedly turned the fortunes for their respective teams. Here we look at the top five bowlers from this season of the CPL. Ravi Rampaul (TKR) The right-arm medium fast bowler Ravi Rampaul tops this list as he unleashed some brilliant piece of bowling during the course of the tournament. The right-hander who plays for the Trinbago Knight Riders team CPL was capped 10 times in this edition and he scalped a total of 19 wickets at an average of just over 16 and bowled at an impressive economy rate of 7.96. Rampaul bagged one four-wicket haul and a couple of three-fors during the competition. His best figures of 4/29 came against Guyana Amazon Warriors. Trinbago though were eliminated from CPL 2021 after they suffered a defeat against Saint Lucia Kings in the semi-final. Romario Shepherd (GAW) Next in this list is Guyana Amazon Warriors’ fast bowler Romario Shepherd who played nine matches in this edition of the CPL and bagged a total of 18 wickets at a superb average of 14.11 and an economy rate of 7.69. The right-arm bowler picked up a three-wicket haul as many as five times in the tournament and his best bowling figures of 3/15 came against Trinbago Knight Riders in the initial stage of the season. He also notched up a half-century against the Jamaica Tallawahs team. Guyana lost the semi-final to Patriots and bowed out of the tournament. Odean Smith (GAW) The tally for the top five bowlers in CPL 2021 has another name from the Guyana Amazon Warriors side, Odean Smith who featured for the side in 11 matches. Smith scalped a total of 18 wickets at an average of 14.88 and at an economy of 7.54. Smith bagged a three-fer thrice in the competition while his individual best figures of 3/20 came against Jamaica Tallawahs. Dominic Drakes (SKNP) Left-handed medium pace bowler Dominic Drakes is the next bowler in this elite list. Drakes probably played a massive role in the Patriots' successful campaign in this edition of the CPL. The left-hander picked up a total of 16 wickets in 11 matches that he played at an average of 20.68 and an economy rate of 8.56 and made a vital contribution with the bat in the all important final. He remained unbeaten at 48 off 24 and anchored his side to a maiden title win. David Wiese (SLK) Saint Lucia Kings might have ended up at the losing end in the final of the CPL 2021 but David Wiese played a crucial role in getting the side to the title clash. The right-hander didn’t play much in the tournament but stamped his authority with the ball after returning with two five-wicket hauls in only five matches in which he was capped for the Kings. He picked up a total of 11 wickets at an average of 13.27. Wiese’s first fifer came against the Royals where he returned with the figures of 5/25 and the second one came against Trinabgo Knight Riders in the semi-final match. Wiese picked up 5 wickets at the cost of 39 runs in this match. The Saint Lucia Kings ended the CPL 2021 as the runners-up after suffering a defeat in the final against the Patriots. There is one name that wasn’t able to make it to the top five list but deserves all the appreciation. Barbados Royals’ Mohammad Amir had a decent time during the course of the tournament where he played 7 matches for the Royals and picked up 11 wickets at an average of 13.54. The most impressive aspect of his bowling was the economy rate of 6.12.
CPL 2021 Preview: Trinbago seek to book semis spot, Patriots to take stage for final dress rehearsal
The Patriots and Trinbago Knight Riders will be up against each other in the final match of the league stage on Monday in St Kitts. The two sides faced each other in the last encounter on Sunday at the same venue where the Patriots rode on a brilliant hundred from Evin Lewis to win the match by 8 wickets while chasing a target of 160 in 20 overs and cement a place in the semi-final. The SKNP side has already qualified for the semis but will look to carry the momentum before going into the knockouts. Lewis was in terrific form in the last match while Chris Gayle got a quick-fire 35 off 18 during the course. Apart from these two, the Patriots have some prominent names such as Ravi Bopara, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen and Sheldon Cottrell in the ranks while Sherfane Rutherford is going through a brilliant run in the competition. On the other side, Trinbago will have to win this final encounter. But the Knight Riders’ bowling attack struggled against the Patriots baring Sunil Narine who just gave away 10 runs in 4 overs. Moreover, the Trinbago team had a dismal run while fielding as well as they dropped some catches during the course. While it is going to be a dress rehearsal for Patriots, the TKR team management has some issues to fix before the side takes the field.

CPL 2021 | Trinbago return to winning ways with comfortable victory over Tallawahs
Courtesy of a brilliant 70 off just 45 balls from experienced opener Lendl Simmons, the Trinbago Knight Riders chased down comfortably an easy target of 145 set up by the Jamaica Tallawahs to return back to winning ways after three losses from five games. With this win, the Knight Riders registered their third two-pointer on the table and have moved on to third position behind leaders St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and St Lucia Kings, who have tasted three wins in their last four matches. Along with Simmons, Colin Munro played a good hand as well scoring run a ball 34 and partnering Simmons to a crucial 102 runs stand after the early fall of Sunil Narine. The two batters however got our before the match was won and skipper Kieron Pollard along with experienced Darren Bravo finished the game. Imad Wasim was the most successful Tallawahs bowler who picked up two wickets for 19 runs. Earlier in the evening, Knight Riders put Jamaica to bat first after winning the toss. The decision paid for the Pollard led team as they dismantled the Tallawahs top order, pulling them down to 15-5 at the end of the first powerplay, making it the worst power play by a batting side in this year’s CPL. Imad Wasim and Carlos Brathwaite lead the recovery and thanks to their 83 run partnership off 63 balls and some late flourish by Andre Russell, the men in green and yellow were able to reach 144. Brathwaite top-scored for the Tallawahs with 58 from 40 balls. For Trinbago, Akeal Hossein and Ravi Rampaul picked two wickets each.
CPL 2021 | TKR vs SLK: Pollard, bowlers help Trinbago get back to winning ways
Trinbago Knight Riders were back on the winning ways after they defeated Saint Lucia Kings convincingly by 27 runs while defending a target of 159 runs in 20 overs. The Kings lost an early wicket during the chase in the form of Rakheem Cornwall who was undone for 8 off 8 deliveries by Isuru Udana but Andre Fletcher and captain Faf du Plessis tried to steady the ship for the side as the two chipped in with a partnership of 40 runs for the second wicket. Du Plessis was eventually sent back in the hut for 14 off 24 by Sunil Narine and the skipper’s wicket certainly broke the shackles. The Saint Lucia side kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 104/7 in the 18th over to eventually end the innings at 131/7. Fletcher was the pick of the batsmen for the Kings after he notched up a 55-ball 81 that included four maximums and 6 fours during the course but his efforts went in vain as the side failed to go over the line. Ravi Rampaul scalped a three-wicket haul for the Knight Riders while Udana bagged a couple of wickets for the team. Narine and Akeal Hossain were also among the wickets as the two bowlers picked up a wicket apiece. Earlier, riding on Kesrick Williams four-fer, Saint Lucia managed to restrict Trinbago for a total of 158/7. TKR lost Lendl Simmons early in the innings but Narine and Tion Webster scored 38 runs for the second wicket to provide the resistance before Webster departed for a run-a-ball 14. Webster’s dismissal saw a couple of more wickets falling for the Knight Ridersand they were eventually left tottering at 68/4 before Kieron Pollard and Seifert joined hands to stitch a stand of 78 runs for the fifth wicket. Pollard scored 41 off 29 while Seifert was dismissed for a 25-ball 37. With the win, TKR are now placed at number three spot in the points table with a couple of wins and as many defeats in the four matches that they have played. TKR captain Pollard later expressed his delight at the win and also discussed his own innings. “Very pleased. Happy Independence day. Sometimes you have to take the initiative, I knew if I came up, they would bring back their main bowlers. It's about capitalising on those things,” he said after the match. SLK skipper Du Plessis too lauded Pollard’s efforts with the bat. “We lost it with the ball at the end. 20 too much on that wicket. It's not easy batting, especially against the spinners. Polly hung in there and he got the bowling at the end to capitalize,” he said. TKR will now face Guyana Amazon Warriors on Wednesday while the Kings will be up against the same opposition on Thursday.
