Thrilling defeat marked by third-fastest CPL half-century scored by retired West Indies star within bounds set
Trinbago Knight Riders Face Tough Loss Despite Kieron Pollard's Spectacular Performance
In a thrilling turn of events in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025, the Trinbago Knight Riders faced a narrow defeat against the Guyana Amazon Warriors, despite a remarkable performance by Kieron Pollard.
The match started on a challenging note for the Knight Riders, as they lost their first three wickets for just 39 runs in 5.2 overs. However, Pollard's entry into the game in the 6th over brought a much-needed boost.
Pollard's 17-ball fifty, achieved in the match against Guyana Amazon Warriors, was not only a testament to his exceptional batting skills but also the fastest half-century in CPL history to come in a losing cause. This incredible feat was made more impressive by the fact that it was Pollard's second 17-ball fifty in the CPL, following his 21-ball fifty against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in a previous match.
Pollard's 54 runs, which included four fours and five sixes, accounted for 50 of the total runs scored in boundaries, making it the third-highest proportion for a 50-plus score in CPL history.
Despite Pollard's heroics, the Knight Riders were unable to pull off a win. Darren Bravo departed before Pollard came to bat, and the team was unable to recover from their early losses.
With at least one league game and two playoff matches to go, Pollard has a chance to make this his most successful CPL season yet. The Knight Riders currently sit second on the points table, providing a glimmer of hope for a possible title win.
