On This Day, August 25, 2020, Evin Lewis lit up the CPL with a commanding 89 off 60 balls for the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots against the Barbados Royals, the standout batting effort recorded on this date in T20 history.
The date has long belonged to the CPL. Back in 2017, Shane Watson blazed 80 from just 45 balls for the St Lucia Stars against the Jamaica Tallawahs, while Kumar Sangakkara replied with an elegant 74 off 45 for the Tallawahs in the same fixture.
With the ball, August 25, 2020, saw Mujeeb Ur Rahman produce a superb spell of 3 for 11 for the Tallawahs against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. In 2024, Romario Shepherd claimed 3 for 15 for West Indies against South Africa.
