TKR stay perfect with win over Zouks

TRINBAGO Knight Riders (TKR) won their fourth consecutive match to start the 2020 Hero Caribbean Premier League T20 tournament with a victory over St Lucia Zouks in a rain-affected contest at the Queen's Park Oval in St Clair, on Wednesday.

Zouks got to 111/6 in 17.1 overs, before rain stopped play for two hours. Before the rain, Mohammed Nabi scored 30 not out off 22 balls and, Najibullah Zadran struck 21.

Dwayne Bravo, who got his 500th T20 wicket during the match, ended with 2/7 in three overs.

TKR had a revised target of 72 in nine overs. Zouks would have fancied their chances of handing TKR their first defeat as the TT franchise was reduced to 34/4 in the fourth over.

Darren Bravo (23 not out), who has shown some form this year, with support from Tim Seifert (15 not out) took TKR to 72/4 in eight overs. Earlier, Colin Munro scored 17 and fast bowler Kesrick Williams snatched 2/17 in two overs for Zouks.
