Jamaica Tallawahs 153 for 7 (Gayle 51, Russell 34*, Sangakkara 26, Shamsi 2-17) beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots 148 for 7 (Du Plessis 27, Thomas 25*, Williams 3-23) by five runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThree key wickets from fast bowler Kesrick Williams and tight bowling in the middle overs helped Jamaica Tallawahs stave off St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for a five-run win in their CPL 2016 match in Basseterre. Cheap Titans Jerseys Authentic . Tallawahs were also aided by a brisk fifty from captain Chris Gayle, who struck 51 off 36 balls, to help set Patriots a target of 154.Patriots overcame the early loss of Evin Lewis in their chase with two substantial partnerships for the second and third wickets. Faf du Plessis, who struck 27 off 29 balls, was the common factor, sharing 39 for the second wicket with Lendl Simmons and then playing a foil to Jonathan Carter in a rapid partnership of 43 that came off 28 balls. Carters 18-ball 27 included two sixes, and the pair helped Patriots narrow the equation down to 62 off 48 balls.Their slump began at this stage. Carter and du Plessis fell in successive overs and Tallawahs choked the runs by conceding 26 between the 15th and 19th overs. Williams dismissed Thisara Perera and Brad Hodge in the 18th over and Dale Steyn got rid of Carlos Brathwaite for 1 at the start of the 19th over to leave Patriots needing 30 off the last six balls. Despite three consecutive sixes from wicketkeeper Devon Thomas, Patriots could only muster 24 runs. Williams, who played his first T20 since January 2013, ended with 3 for 23, while the rest of the Tallawahs attack, except Timroy Allen, took a wicket each.The Tallawahs innings was given direction by Gayle before Andre Russell provided a late flourish. Gayle paired with Kumar Sangakkara to add 48 runs for the second wicket, after Chadwick Walton fell in the first over for 3. By the time Gayle was dismissed, he had struck four fours and three sixes in his 51, but quick wickets in the middle overs had left Tallawahs at a shaky 109 for 5 in the 16th over. Russell provided the impetus with an unbeaten 34 off 20 deliveries. He slammed two sixes and a four in an 18-run over bowled by Krishmar Santokie and helped Tallawahs add 44 in the last four overs to climb to 153. Titans Jerseys China.

DAmigo scored twice in regulation and added the shootout winner as the Toronto Marlies edged the San Antonio Rampage 5-4 in American Hockey League action. Super Rugby has arrived at its final four with the Hurricanes, Lions, Chiefs and Highlanders left fighting for southern hemisphere supremacy.Saturday, July 30Hurricanes v Chiefs, Westpac Stadium, Wellington?Key stat (Opta Stats)The Hurricanes have won nine of their last 11 games against the Chiefs on home turf, though they lost their last such encounter by one point in Round 9 earlier this season.The Hurricanes have lost all six of their playoff games against fellow New Zealand teams in Super Rugby, including a 14-10 defeat to the Chiefs in 2009.Line-upsHurricanes:?James Marshall, Cory Jane, Matt Proctor, Willis Halaholo, Jason Woodward, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara; Victor Vito, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Michael Fatialofa, Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Dane Coles/Ricky Riccitelli, Loni Uhila. Replacements: Ricky Riccitelli, Leni Apisai, Chris Eves, Mike Kainga, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, Jamison Gibson Park, Vince Aso, Julian Savea.Chiefs:?Damian McKenzie, Sam McNicol, Seta Tamanivalu, Anton Lienert-Brown, James Lowe, Aaron Cruden (co-capt), Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Tom Sanders, Sam Cane (co-capt), Taleni Seu, Brodie Retallick, Dominic Bird, Atu Moli, Nathan Harris, Kane Hames. Res: Hika Elliot, Siegfried Fisiihoi, Mitchell Graham, Lachlan Boshier, Michael Leitch, Brad Weber, Toni Pulu, Shaun Stevenson.Team NewsHurricanes captain Dane Coles?will be given until match day to prove his fitness after a nasty knock to the ribs last weekend against the Sharks. Coach Chris Boyd has otherwise named an unchanged side to the one that triumphed 41-0 last week, with All Blacks winger Julian Savea again left on the bench.The Chiefs have made two key changes, Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Seta Tamanivalu included.?Kerr-Barlow is promoted from the bench after his sides crushing 60-21 quarterfinal win over the Stormers, while Fiji-born Tamanivalu returns from a knee knock. Incumbent halfback Brad Weber drops to the bench. Elsewhere, the team retains the same shape as in South Africa.UBET verdict: Hurricanes $1.57, Chiefs $2.40.?The Chiefs have travelled Fiji-Brisbane-Dunedin-Cape Town-Wellington in the last four weeks, and it appears as though UBET customers think that will catch up with them semifinals. The Hurricanes have been very well backed to progress, and although six of the last seven matches in Wellington between these two sides have been decided by six points or less, most have written the Chiefs off. It is worth noting that the Chiefs did win here (28-27) back in April.?Greg Growdens verdict:?Keep an eye on the fitness of Hurricanes skipper Dane Coles, as his omission will be a shot in the arm for the Chiefs. Still, I think the Hurricanes halves, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett, will earn the Wellington side a second straight home final.Lions v Highlanders, Emirates Airlines Park,?JohannesburgKey stat (Optaa Stats)The Lions have won eight of their 10 home games this season, however both of their defeats on their own patch in 2016 have come at the hands of teams from New Zealand. Wholesale Titans Jerseys. The Highlanders have won their last three away games, only once before have they won four on the trot (2005).Line-upsLions:?Andries Coetzee, Ruan Combrinck, Lionel Mapoe, Rohan Janse van Rensburg, Courtnall Skosan, Elton Jantjies, Faf de Klerk, Ruan Ackermann, Warwick Tecklenburg, Jaco Kriel (captain), Franco Mostert, Andries Ferreira, Julian Redelinghuys, Malcolm Marx, Dylan Smith Replacements: Armand van der Merwe, Corne Fourie, Jacques van Rooyen, Lourens Erasmus, Steph de Witt, Dillon Smit, Howard Mnisi, Jaco van der Walt.Highlanders:?Ben Smith (captain), Waisake Naholo, Matt Faddes, Malakai Fekitoa, Patrick Osborne, Lima Sopoaga, Aaron Smith, Luke Whitelock, James Lentjes, Elliot Dixon, Tom Franklin, Alex Ainley, Josh Hohneck, Ash Dixon, Daniel Lienert-Brown Replacements: Greg Pleasants-Tate, Aki Seiuli, Ross Geldenhuys, Joe Wheeler, Liam Squire, Dan Pryor, Te Aihe Toma, Marty Banks.Team NewsJaco Kriel will lead the Lions?after regular skipper Warren Whiteley was ruled out with a calf injury. Ruan Ackermann will start at No 8 in Whiteleys position, while Steph de Witt comes in on the bench. Dillon Smit will also provide scrum-half cover on the bench, replacing Ross Cronje who is ruled out with an ankle injury.Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph, has three changes to his starting forward pack, bringing in loose forward James Lentjes for Shane Christie, and lock Alex Ainley for Luke Whitelock who moves to number eight. The starting backline from the quarterfinal win against the Brumbies remains intact.UBET verdict:?Lions $1.80, Highlanders $2.00.?The only blot on the form of the Lions recently was when they fielded their B side in Argentina two weeks ago. The Lions have had a very good draw leading into the finals, and disposed of the Crusaders in impressive fashion last week. The Hurricanes were at home to the Lions in March, and recorded a big 34-15 victory; but the Lions have improved a lot since then, and the Highlanders face the same problem that as the Chiefs, they have had an arduous travel campaign over the last five weeks. Money is split between the pair, but the Lions are slight favourites.Greg Growdens verdict:?Youve just got to admire what Jamie Joseph has been able to do with this Highlanders team over the last couple of years -- theyve been exceptional. That being said, their passports have been stamped so often lately that youve got to think its finally going to catch up with them. Im tipping the Lions, but expect this one to be decided in the final few minutes. Stitched Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Stitched Jerseys Cheap NFL Hoodies Jerseys NFL China Discount Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic ' ' '
