FCS vs DVE

Fort Charlotte Strikers won by 7 wickets
Salvan Browne 38(19) | Sadrack Descartes 51(33)
Kevin Abraham 1-17(2) | Navin Stewart 2-32(2)

Don't mess with the batting firepower of the Strikers - That's the message to the other teams in this tournament. It didn't look like an easy chase at the halfway stage of the innings but Salvan Browne's fearless approach helped the Strikers to get off to a fast and furious start. Once they took the chase under control, there's wasn't any fumble in the middle. The partnership between Shallow and Salvan proved to be match-winning and when it demanded the most, Brathwaite was there to show his power-hitting exploits, smashing 21 off just five deliveries

The Strikers move to second place with this convincing victory, while Explorers are in the fourth place with two points. We have one more match to go but it's time to end the coverage here. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Pradeep signing off. Ciao

8.3 Sealron Williams to Carlos Brathwaite, SIX! GAME, SET AND MATCH! Carlos Brathwaite seals the game with a sensational maximum and finishes the game in style. Length delivery on the middle and leg. Brathwaite sits on one knee and CLOBBERS it way over deep square-leg fence for a huge maximum.

Carlos Brathwaite just produced what he is known for. He had the license to go big and he absolutely showed his firepower in that over. Now, the Strikers are one hit away from crossing the finish line

A fine shot to end the over. Descartes did the damage with the bat but he can't replicate his heroics with the ball. He bowls an expensive over and it helps the Strikers to inch closer to the victory

6.5 Sadrack Descartes to Salvan Browne, takes the pace off, length delivery wide of off-stump. Browne reaches and sweeps it to long-on for a single.

6.5 Sadrack Descartes to Salvan Browne, WIDE! Descartes is struggling here, another slower one but went outside the tramline for another wide.
