Despite losing the wickets of Fletcher and Keron Cottoy, the Kings built a mammoth total as du Plessis and Chase hit boundaries at will, contributing eight sixes between them.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots had a more restrained start as they began the chase; Devon Thomas fell to the bowling of Alzarri Joseph, with Chris Gayle following in the third over. Chase added pressure by bowling a maiden in the fourth over before Evin Lewis started to deliver some destructive shots, reaching his half century in just 25 balls. However, his 73 was in vain, as wickets tumbled, with Keemo Paul taking three wickets in the 16th over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Saint Lucia Kings now have six points and are firmly in contention for a play-off spot, while the Patriots remain top of the league.<\/p>\n<p>Brief Scores: Saint Lucia Kings 224\/2 (du Plessis 120*, Chase 64*; Ahmed 1\/23, Allen 1\/26) beat St Kitts &amp; Nevis Patriots 124 all out (Lewis 73, Gayle 14; Paul 3\/23, Joseph 3\/27) by 100 runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faf du Plessis struck his highest ever T20 score (120*) and first century of the 2021 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as the Saint Lucia Kings recorded a commanding 100 run win over the St Kitts &amp; Nevis Patriots to end their unbeaten run in this year\u2019s tournament.
