Saint Lucia Kings Secure First CPL 2025 Win in Last-Ball Thriller vs Patriots

In a thrilling Caribbean Premier League match, the Saint Lucia Kings secured a narrow three-run victory over the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in a last-ball finish. The Kings posted a strong total of 200 runs, with significant contributions from Roston Chase (61 off 38), Johnson Charles (52 off 28), and Tim David (46 off 23). Despite a spirited chase led by Jason Holder's 63 off 29 balls and Navin Bidaisee's 50 off 36, the Patriots fell just short at 197/6. The game came down to the final delivery, where David Wiese's nearly perfect yorker was slightly off, allowing Bidaisee to attempt a boundary, but Tim David took a crucial catch to clinch the win for the Kings. This victory marked the Kings' first win of the season and moved them to the top of the table, while the Patriots remained fifth with one win from four games. Roston Chase was named player of the match for his all-round performance, and the Kings will next face the Trinbago Knight Riders.
