Jamaica Tallawahs started the chase on a blistering note as both the openers Brandon King and Amir Jangoo got their team off to a flying start, scoring 50 runs in 5 overs to put the Tallawahs in a commanding position.

Jason Holder took three wickets as the Royals fought back, but it was not enough as the Tallawahs reached 126/5 and won by five wickets (DLS method), six runs ahead of the par score.

The Jamaica Tallwahs were on course for a comfortable win but Jason Holer and Obed Mckoy took 5 wickets combined up a tense finish.

In the end, a six from Rovman Powell just before the rain fell would prove critical, as it meant the Tallwahs finished ahead by six runs on DLS and picked up the five-wicket win.

After the 10th-over mark, there was a rain interruption, but it wasn’t that long a delay as play resumed within 30 minutes with no reduction in overs.

Just when the match was poised on such an interesting note, there was yet another ran interruption. This came right after the 17th over, which earned the Tallawahs 10 runs to take them to 126/5.
