The victory was particularly sweet for Falcons supporters, as it marked another positive result in their campaign. Having only suffered one defeat so far this season – their opening loss to St. Kitts – and with one fixture abandoned against St. Lucia, this triumph provided further momentum as they prepare for Friday’s clash against Guyana.
Earlier in the evening, after TKR captain Nicholas Pooran won the toss and elected to field, his bowlers initially justified the decision by reducing the Falcons to a precarious 77-5 by the 14th over. However, a spectacular lower-order assault from Fabian Allen transformed the innings. The left-hander’s explosive 45 from just 20 balls, featuring three boundaries and an equal number of maximums, propelled the home side to a competitive 167-6.
The result sees the Falcons climb to the summit of the CPL standings.
