On This Day in Cricket
September 4
On this day in 2021, Faf du Plessis produced a masterclass for the St Lucia Kings, blazing 120 off just 60 balls against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. It remains one of the great CPL centuries, and set the tone for a memorable day of batting in the Caribbean.
The Guyana Amazon Warriors made their own mark on the date across two seasons. Chandrapaul Hemraj hit 105 off 56 balls against the Barbados Royals in 2021, before Shimron Hetmyer thumped 91 off 39 against the Patriots in 2024, with Andre Fletcher replying with 81 off 33.
The date also belongs to the ball. Kyle Mayers returned a remarkable 4 for 4 for the Royals against St Lucia in 2022, while Anya Shrubsole took 4 for 12 for England against Pakistan in 2012.
