Andre Russell produces near perfect match in Caribbean Premier League

BIG hitting West Indian batsman Andre Russell has unleashed in the Caribbean Premier League, hitting 121 off just 49 balls to guide his side to an unlikely victory.Chasing the Trinbago Knight Riders’ monster total of 6-223, the Jamaica Tallawahs’ innings was floundering at 5-41 after 6.1 overs.Enter Russell.The Tallawahs skipper went nuts, bringing up his century from just 40 balls and hitting 13 sixes in his innings.This included a massive maximum to bring up his ton. The Tallawahs were in trouble when Russell came to the crease to join fellow West Indian Kennar Lewis. Lewis struck 51 off 35 balls and the pair put on a 161-run stand off just 69 balls as the Tallawahs hit the winning runs with three balls in hand.Earlier, Australian Chris Lynn hit 46 off 27 balls at the top of the order for the Knight Riders to kickstart their innings.Russell did plenty of damage with the ball before he got the willow in his hand. He took a hat-trick, snaring the scalps of New Zealand great Brendon McCullum and West Indians Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin. Russell beat his previous personal best — a 42-ball century in the 2016 edition of the CPL — in today’s stunning knock, which was also his highest ever score in 257 T20 matches.

Andre Russell breaks records as Jamaica Tallawahs beat Trinbago Knight Riders

Port of Spain: It was a match to remember for Jamaica Tallawahs’ (JT) Andre Russell as the all-rounder scored a 40-ball ton, took a hat-trick and also took a spectacular catch in their Caribbean Premier League (CPL ) match against Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) on Saturday. Despite TKR posting a huge total of 223-6 from 20 overs, it was an unbeaten 121 runs from 49 balls by Russell and a well-played half-century by Kennar Lewis (51) which took Jamaica home with a four-wicket win. Apart from these achievements, the 30-year-old West Indian became just the second player in T20 cricket's history to score a century and take a hat-trick in the same game.The only other cricketer to achieve this is Joe Denly, who plays for Kent County Cricket Club in England. Denly has played nine ODIs and five T20Is for England.This was TKR’s first loss in this year’s CPL, whereas the Tallawahs opened their campaign with a memorable win.
