St Kitts, September 16: The Jamaica Tallawahs consolidated second place in the league table with a six-run (DLS) victory over Barbados Royals, inflicting their first loss of this Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2022) season.

The Jamaica Tallawahs won the toss and chose to field first, Imad Wasim getting them off to a spectacular start by bowling two maiden overs and taking three wickets in the power play to leave the Royals reeling at 17-3 after six overs.

It was South African internationals Quinton De Kock and David Miller who rebuilt the innings for the Royals with an 83 run partnership that took them to 146/6 at the end of their innings.

Brandon King and Amir Jangoo got off to a flying start in the chase, scoring 50 runs by the fifth over to put the Tallawahs in a commanding position.

Jason Holder would take three wickets as the Royals fought back, but it was not enough as the Royals reached 126/5 and won by five wickets (DLS), six runs ahead of the par score.

Jamaica Tallawahs shocked the Royals early on in the innings with Wasim striking three times within the power play, removing Rahkeem Cornwall, Kyle Mayers and Corbin Bosch with his bamboozling deliveries.

But it was de Kock, once again batting lower down the order at four, who led the way with a sublime 74 off just 43 balls, with support from David Miller as the Royals ended up finishing on 146/6.

Tallawahs had a dream start to their chase with King and Jangoo finding the boundary consistently in the PowerPlay.

However, Obed McCoy would strike with two wickets, before Holder set up a tense finish by taking three wickets.

In the end, a six from Rovman Powell just before rain fell would prove critical, as it meant the Tallwahs finished ahead by six runs on DLS and picked up the five wicket win.

Brief scores: Barbados Royals: 146/6 (de Kock 74, Miller 34; Wasim 3/14, Allen 1/14) lost to Jamaica Tallawahs: 126/5 (King 46, Jangoo 29; Holder 3/33, McCoy 2/19) by 6 runs (DLS method).
