Rain sets back Knight Riders

GROS ISLET – Heavy rain stalled Trinbago Knight Riders’ bid to catch leaders Guyana Amazon Warriors, when it forced the abandonment of their encounter against struggling St Lucia Zouks on Saturday night.

Choosing to bowl first, the Knight Riders reduced Zouks to 99 for four in the 13th over before the bad weather arrived an hour into the contest at the Daren Sammy Stadium to end play prematurely.

South African Colin Ingram provided the only real bright spark with an unbeaten 52 off 34 balls, but the hosts lost wickets steadily, and were lagging on 85 for three at the half-way stage of the innings.

Each team earned a point for their efforts, leaving the Knight Riders on nine points and one behind Amazon Warriors, and Zouks one from bottom of the six-team standings on three points. (CMC)
