SOURCE: NEWSDAY- <\/strong>Antigua and Barbuda Falcons won their first match of the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League T20 tournament on their fifth attempt, earning a six-run win over Trinbago Knight Riders at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on September 5.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

TKR now have one win and one loss from two matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcons posted a competitive 176\/6 in 20 overs with Imad Wasim (46), Fakhar Zaman (38) and Justin Greaves (37) leading the way.<\/p>

Bowling for TKR, the spinners were the chief destroyers as left-arm bowler Waqar Salamkheil took 2\/27 and Sunil Narine picked up 2\/32.<\/p>

The match was hanging in the balance with TKR 72\/1 in the tenth over, but three quick wickets reduced the TT franchise to 79\/4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 63-run partnership between captain Kieron Pollard and Keacy Carty kept TKR in the contest, but wickets fell regularly after Pollard fell.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Left-arm spinner Fabian Allen, who was brilliant in the field, ensured Falcons got their first win with 3\/23 in four overs and Roshon Primus grabbed 2\/40 in four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Andries Gous, opened the batting and top-scored with 39 off 33 balls. Carty made 34 off 22 deliveries for TKR. TKR were 170\/9 when the overs ran out.<\/p>
