CPL 2025: Roston Chase's Last-Ball Strike Turns the Match, Jason Holder's Heroics Go in Vain

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 witnessed a dramatic twist when St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain Jason Holder, who was single-handedly steering his team towards victory, was dismissed by Roston Chase on the final ball of the 15th over. That crucial wicket turned the tide, eventually leading to a narrow three-run defeat for Holder’s side.

Batting first, St Lucia Kings set a strong total of 200 runs for 8 wickets in their 20 overs. In reply, the Patriots put up a spirited fight but could only reach 197 for 6, falling just short of the target. Jason Holder played a captain’s knock, smashing 63 runs off just 29 deliveries with 6 towering sixes and 3 boundaries. However, his dismissal at a key juncture of the chase derailed the Patriots’ momentum.

This defeat marks the third loss for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in four matches, pushing them down to the fifth spot on the CPL 2025 points table. Despite Holder’s explosive batting, Roston Chase’s timely breakthrough proved decisive, sealing the win for St Lucia Kings.
