Saint Lucia Kings certainly acted as a strong team, and it was not easy to stop them from achieving the target. However, all the bowlers acted as a unit, and Imad Wasim was certainly the best among them. He went on to take the wickets of 3 main batters, and that was putting consistent pressure on Saint Lucia.
- Wasim first got the big fish, that was the captain Faf du Plessis ©. The opening stand was broken on the score of 25 only.
