The Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2021) had yet another brilliant edition. The tournament ended on a high and the fans loved the action that they saw. The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have been crowned champions at the end of the competition. They managed to steal a win in the final on the last ball. This story made the news, as the win was a hard-fought won.
It was brilliant to see both teams fight it out on the night. The Saint Lucia Kings fell short at the end. However, the difference between the two teams wasn’t much. The fact that the final went to the last ball of the game is something in itself. It was the kind of game that every player wants to be a part of and every fan wants to watch.
The Video Of The Finish Of The CPL 2021 Final That Went Viral On Twitter As The Fans Just Loved What They Saw
The game was brilliant and totally worth being the final of a competition. A new champion was crowned on the night. The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots won their first-ever CPL title and the players were delighted with the performance. It was not easy, as the Saint Lucia Kings fought till the very end and would have been really disappointed to lose on the final delivery.
Dominic Drakes scored an unbeaten 48 runs, which made him the hero for his side. There was no coming back from that and what a performance it was indeed. The fans on Social Media loved the batting display as well.

That last over was surely eventful. Seven wickets down and needing to score some crucial runs under pressure is a daunting task. Well, not for Dominic Drakes, who did it in style. Five runs needed off two balls, he hit a four and then took a single off the last ball.
He guided his team to a brilliant win. Winning the CPL for the first time would surely be a huge confidence booster for him and his team.
More Details From The Game; What A Brilliant Final Indeed
The Saint Lucia Kings batted first in the final. They set a target of 160 for the opposition to score. It was a decent total that can be defended in a T20 game. However, that was not the case on the night as Drakes had other ideas. It was a brilliant batting performance by him and he made a name for himself amongst the CPL 2021 fanbase for sure.
The way that he calmly batted at the end and scored the needed runs, showcased that the player has the composure to finish things off. It could be a sign of bigger things to come for him if he plays his cards right. He is just 23 at present and has a long career ahead of him still.
Ideally, the fans will want him to play in more leagues across the globe. With the conclusion of the CPL 2021 tournament, the second phase of the IPL 2021 tournament is due to start. Hopefully, we can see more West Indian players in the tournament in the seasons to come. With a couple of new teams to be added to the mix soon, that is surely possible!!
