Floodlight Failure Halts CPL Match, TKR Eliminated

The CPL 2024 Eliminator match between Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) and Barbados Royals was disrupted by a floodlight failure, resulting in a nearly two-hour delay and a revised target for the Royals. TKR had posted a strong total of 168/3, with Nicholas Pooran remaining unbeaten on 91, but the interruption led to the Royals needing just 60 runs off five overs under the DLS method. David Miller's explosive 50 off 17 balls helped the Royals secure a swift victory. TKR players, especially Andre Russell, expressed their frustration over the situation, claiming they felt 'robbed' due to the timing of the power restoration and the match's abrupt change in dynamics. Many fans echoed Russell's sentiments, criticizing the CPL organizers for their handling of the incident. The outcome left TKR questioning the fairness of the match's conclusion, given their superior position prior to the disruption.
