5:04 pm Before this season, Brandon King had one career half-century in 18 career T20s. The 24-year-old is now the CPL's leading scorer in 2019 after hitting the highest score in CPL history as part of a record total at Providence. He singlehandedly scored more than either Patriots or Knight Riders in the first match of the day. A superlative innings. We'll see shortly if the Tridents can pull a few rabbits out of the hat to break the Warriors' unbeaten streak when Shashank takes over for the start of the chase.
