**Gros Islet, Saint Lucia -** New Zealand’s Tim Seifert delivered a masterclass in power-hitting, equalling Andre Russell’s record for the fastest Caribbean Premier League (CPL) century and powering the St Lucia Kings to a stunning six-wicket victory over the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Seifert’s unbeaten 125 off just 53 balls helped the Kings chase down a daunting 205-run target with 13 balls to spare, marking the fifth-highest chase in CPL history.
The 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batter exploded onto the scene, launching a six in the first over of the innings. He then unleashed a brutal assault on Jayden Seales, smashing him for a six, four, and four in quick succession. While Johnson Charles contributed a quickfire 17, it was Seifert who truly set the stage alight.
He reached his century in a blistering 40 balls, matching Russell’s record set in 2018, and continued to dominate the Falcons’ bowling attack. The Kings amassed a staggering 92 runs in the powerplay, the highest of the season and the third-highest in CPL history.
Despite a brief respite with the wicket of Roston Chase, Seifert remained unyielding. He eventually finished on a remarkable 125 not out, the second-highest individual score in CPL history, surpassed only by Brandon King’s 132* in 2019. The Falcons simply had no answer to Seifert’s onslaught as the Kings secured a memorable and emphatic victory.
