Romario Shepherd's 73* Includes Rare 'One-Ball' Onslaught as St Lucia Kings Seal Chase

Reports differ on whether the anomalous sequence produced 20 or 22 runs from a single legal delivery.

Overview

  • Batting at No. 7 for Guyana Amazon Warriors, Romario Shepherd smashed an unbeaten 73 off 34 balls with five fours and seven sixes at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.
  • In the 15th over, Oshane Thomas conceded 33 as repeated front‑foot no‑balls and a wide led to re‑bowled deliveries and free hits that Shepherd struck for three sixes.
  • Outlets disagree on the tally credited to the lone legal ball in that sequence, with reports variously stating 20 or 22 runs.
  • St Lucia Kings overhauled the 203 target at 202/6, winning by four wickets in 18.1 overs with 11 balls remaining, powered by Ackeem Auguste’s 73 off 35.
  • Shepherd dedicated the innings to his son’s birthday, extending a year of explosive T20 form that also featured a 14‑ball IPL fifty in May.
