That's it from the opening encounter from the CPL 2023. We will be back with more action from CPL tomorrow and we have got loads of cricketing action coming your way in our network from across the world across formats. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Anirudh Modi alongside scorer/analyst Ghanendra Singh Thakur. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodbye and CHEERS!
Brandon King (Jamaica Tallawahs Captain): "I mean, it's a new challenge to me. The guys made it easier. Experienced men and had to manage things there. No, I don't think so. Have an important role to play up at the top of the order and batted well to get to that total. The guys figured it out, the bowling plans and all. The spinners bowled well and the pacers did their job. Wouldn't say worried. It was close, but I back my bowlers. Salman bowled well and held his nerves in the end. Happy that we won today and hope to carry on the momentum."
Faf du Plessis (St. Lucia Kings Captain): "I think if you look at the ground stats it was 10-15 too many. Credit to King as he played well and they bowled well. The spinners and they took pace off the ball as well. Obviously, their spinners and Green all of them bowled well. We looked at the wicket and there was bounce in it. Spinners bowled well but their spinners bowled better than us. I think, we know one of them had to bat through, but didn't. One of us needed to get going and we didn't. Great to see Chase doing well with both bat and ball. Sure it was difficult. Lots of catches were dropped, but I should be catching those for sure. Wind is there so that's a factor. No excuses from our end."
Brandon King (Player of the Match and Jamaica Tallawahs Captain): "I am just pleased to get the win and happy to contribute to the team. Definitely, that knock against India helped and I am feeling good at the crease. I am feeling good everything comes in flow. Kirk played well as well and happy for him."
Brandon King is the Player of the Match.

The rest of the batting faded away as they ended with 176/8 in 20 overs. 12 extras given by the fielding side.
Imad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers for Jamaica Tallawahs with figures of 3/27 in 4 overs. Chris Green gave him good support with his 2/28 in 4 overs.
