Antigua and Barbuda Falcons' match against Saint Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League was washed out after persistent rain caused damage to the pitch.

The toss took place after a delay, with the match reduced to 19 overs per side, but the rain returned.

There were three further pitch inspections before the umpires called the game off over concerns about damp patches on the wicket.

Both sides take a point each with Falcons moving top with three points from three matches. Kings are fifth but this was their first game.

Colin Munro hit a remarkable 120 from 57 balls as Trinbago Knight Riders beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 12 runs in the Caribbean Premier League.

The 38-year-old former New Zealand international struck 14 fours and six sixes from the top of the order after his side were put into bat, before he was finally caught in the covers for the joint third-highest individual score in the CPL.

Munro put on 114 for the first wicket with Alex Hales, who struck 47 from 27, with Knight Riders closing on 231-5 - the seventh-highest score in the tournament's history.

Kyle Mayers (32) and Andre Fletcher (41) staged their own opening stand of 80, but the pair fell in the space of five balls to spinners Usman Tariq and Akeal Hosein respectively.

Captain Holder struck 44 from 22 balls, but his team were well behind the required run-rate and finished on 219-7.

A win in their opening game puts Knight Riders top of the early table, while Patriots drop one place to third with one win from three matches.

United States international Karima Gore scored his second successive half-century as Antigua & Barbuda Falcons beat Barbados Royals by six wickets in the Caribbean Premier League.

Chasing 152, the all-rounder struck an unbeaten 64 from 53 balls from number three to see the Falcons home with two balls to spare.

Having been put into bat, Royals opener Quinton de Kock hit 57 from 45 deliveries, while captain Rovman Powell closed their innings by hammering 51 from 24 balls as the visiting side closed on 151-6.

Falcons saw opener Rahkeem Cornwall caught off Daniel Sams for 10, but Gore, who scored 61 in his side's opening defeat to St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, took control of the innings to take his side to their first win of the season.

They now sit in third in the early table having played two matches, while defeat for Royals in their first match puts them bottom.
