<p>St Kitts and Nevis Patriots crossed the 200-mark as they thrashed St Lucia Zouks by 61 runs to register their first win of the 2016 season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL)</p>
A superb batting display from the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots saw them make the second highest total in Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) history as they won their first match this season. The St Lucia Zouks were beaten thanks to excellent batting from Evin Lewis and Devon Thomas that allowed the Patriots to score a massive 203 for 7 off their 20 overs.
It was an electrifying start from the Patriots who reached 69 for 0 off their six over PowerPlay, the highest six over total of this Hero CPL this season to date. Both Lendl Simmons and Lewis got off to rocketing starts as they put on the best opening stand of the tournament up to that point. Simmons fell just two balls after the end of the fielding restrictions for 30 from 16 balls.
