Jamaica Tallawahs openers Chadwick Walton and Chris Gayle scored 76 and 64 not out respectively to lead their side to a convincing nine-wicket win over the St Lucia Zouks.
Gayle would have been pleased with his decision to bowl first as all the Zouks batsmen, with the exception of Kevin Pietersen, failed to have an impact.
It was thanks to Pietersen’s unbeaten knock of 83, which came off 57 balls and included six boundaries and four sixes, that the Zouks were able to finish on 158/4 off their 20 overs.
