The Jamaica Tallawahs consolidated second place in the league table with a six run (DLS) victory over Barbados Royals, as the rain stopped play with the Tallawahs needing 21 runs off 18 balls.
It was the first loss of the 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season for the Barbados Royals who were sent into bat.
Imad Wasim got the Tallawahs off to a spectacular start by bowling two maiden overs and taking three wickets in the powerplay to leave the Royals reeling at 17-3 after six overs. It was South African internationals Quinton De Kock and David Miller who rebuilt the innings for the Royals with an 83 run partnership that took them to 146/6 at the end of their innings.

Brandon King and Amir Jangoo got off to a flying start in the chase, scoring 50 runs by the fifth over to put the Tallawahs in a commanding position. Jason Holder would take three wickets as the Royals fought back, but it was not enough as the Royals reached 126/5 and won by five wickets (DLS), six runs ahead of the par score of 120 for the loss of 5 wickers.
