The 10th match of the CPL 2020 was a closely fought one, as Guyana Amazon Warriors lost to St Lucia Zouks.

The loss for the Guyana Amazon Warriors means that they now have four points from four games, as they are placed third on the CPL 2020 table.

Nicholas Pooran played a great knock against team owned by KXIP owners

Interestingly, Nicholas Pooran’s best performance yet came against the St Lucia Zouks, a team which has the same owners as IPL team Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). During the CPL 2020 match, Nicholas Pooran gave a good account of himself, hitting seven fours and a six on his way to a half-century. A highlights reel of the left hander’s innings was also shared by the Caribbean Premier League’s official account, praising the batsman for leading the chase. 

The wicketkeeper last year had emerged as one of the most surprising buys after KXIP brought in the West Indian for a whopping ₹4.2 crore. However, the cricketer didn’t have the best of seasons as he managed to score just 168 runs in 7 innings for the franchise. Although, looking at Nicholas Pooran’s performance, both KXIP fans and owners will be excited considering the player will turn up for the franchise during the IPL 2020.
