Match preview & overview
Kings Chase Down 205 to Complete CPL Sweep Over Falcons
St Lucia Kings overhauled a target of 205 with 6 wickets in hand at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground on 31 August 2025, beating Antigua And Barbuda Falcons in CPL T20 cricket. TL Seifert was named Player of the Match. The result extends Kings' perfect record against the Falcons to 3-0 across all CPL meetings. Antigua posted 204/4, a score well above the ground's average of 177, yet it was never enough. Kings made 206/4 in reply, getting home with something to spare.
The margin tells part of the story, but the manner of the chase tells the rest. Kings' opening phase was extraordinary: 92 runs off the powerplay for the loss of just 1 wicket, against a ground average of 42 powerplay runs. Once that platform was established, the Falcons had little realistic chance of forcing a different result. The middle overs (overs 7 to 15) yielded 90 runs and 2 wickets for Kings, before a steadier death-over passage of 24 runs secured the win.
For the Falcons, the innings itself was not without merit. A powerplay of 51/0 and a death phase of 61/1 produced a highly competitive total. Their 204/4 would have won most T20 matches at this ground. It simply wasn't enough on a night when Kings' batting unit clicked at every phase.
