St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain Dwayne Bravo insists the team has plenty of work to do, despite a narrow 4-wicket win over the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on Thursday.
The win was the first of the campaign for the Patriots, but it did not come easily. In fact, chasing 162 for victory, the team seemed set for a third straight loss after needing 22 from the final over. Some big hitting from Dwaine Pretorius, however, put away some wayward bowling by Romario Shepherd.
The team’s campaign began with losses to the Jamaica Tallawahs and Barbados Royals and despite getting on the board Bravo, who has himself battled injuries early on, believes the team has plenty of adjustments to make.
“Even with this win we still have a lot to improve and when we get into the dressing room we will highlight those moments,” Bravo said following the match.
“To restrict them to 160 odd we would have been happy at the halfway stage because they are a very good batting line-up. We know they have quality spinners but with our line-up, we don’t believe spin is a threat to our line-up. At key moments we kept giving our opposition some momentum to come back into the game. These are the things we have to talk about, even though we won, we made a lot of mistakes.”
