Kieron Pollard Leads TKR to CPL Victory

Kieron Pollard showcased his enduring prowess in T20 cricket by scoring an explosive unbeaten 52 runs off 19 balls, leading the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) to a thrilling four-wicket victory against the St. Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024. Pollard entered the game with TKR needing 27 runs off the last 12 balls and turned the match around by hitting four sixes in the 19th over bowled by Matthew Forde. His performance marked his first fifty in the CPL since 2021, and he finished with a total of seven sixes. The win places TKR third in the points table after three matches, with Pollard emphasizing his commitment to the franchise despite retiring from international cricket. The match also highlighted contributions from other players, including Roston Chase's solid innings for the Kings, but it was Pollard's late onslaught that secured the victory. TKR now has four points in the tournament, demonstrating their competitive edge.
