WATCH: Amir, Imad combine for 7 wickets as Tallawahs secure 59-run win in CPL

Mohammad Amir's impressive four-wicket performance and Imad Wasim's three wickets played a pivotal role in securing a crucial 59-run victory for the Jamaica Tallawahs against the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, ensuring their continued presence in contention for the 2023 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Playoff stage next week.

The Tallawahs won the toss and opted to bat first on Saturday. Despite facing early setbacks against the spin duo of Ashmead Nedd and George Linde, they managed to post a formidable total of 178/7 after 20 overs, thanks in large part to a resilient 62-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Shamar Springer and Fabian Allen.

When it came time for the Patriots to chase down the target of 179, they lost their experienced openers, Evin Lewis and Andre Fletcher, within the first three overs. Imad Wasim dismissed Lewis for just 2 runs, while Mohammad Amir had Fletcher caught behind for 11 runs. Amir concluded his spell with impressive figures of 4/19 in 3.3 overs, while Imad contributed significantly by taking three wickets in his four-over spell, conceding 25 runs.
