BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC) – Man-of-the-Match Roshon Primus missed out on a half-century but St Lucia Kings broke out of their rut to win their first match of the Men’s 6ixty with an eight-run result over Jamaica Tallawahs here yesterday.

Sent in at Warner Park, Kings rallied to 109 for five thanks to Primus who belted 48 from 25 deliveries, before New Zealander Scott Kuggeleijn snatched two for 18 to limit Jamaica Tallawahs to 101 for four.
Kings had lost their two opening games while Tallawahs had won two on the trot in contrast.

Kings lost Leroy Lugg without scoring to the fourth ball of the morning with a single run on the board but Primus lashed five fours and two sixes in a 75-run, second-wicket stand with Johnson Charles (32) to rescue the innings.

Charles blasted a brace of fours and sixes in a 22-ball knock before he was second out, 21-year-old seamer Joshua James finishing with two for 25.
In reply, Tallawahs also lost an early wicket when Kennar Lewis perished for five in the second over with seven runs on the board.

However, Amir Jangoo struck 44 from 20 balls with three fours and three sixes and captain Rovman Powell, 34 from 25 balls with two fours and three sixes, to pull their side around in an 84-run, second-wicket stand.
Tallawahs required 19 runs from the last 10 balls but lost two wickets for three runs in six balls to fall apart.
