Yet the fourth over would change the whole complexion of the tie as Irshad took three wickets, including that of Fletcher and Ambati Rayudu, to leave the Patriots reeling at 37-4.

West Indies international Joshua Da Silva steadily rebuilt the innings with his score of 36, before a late burst from Dominic Drakes saw the Patriots reach 156-9 at the end of their innings.

Jamaica Tallawah openers Brandon King and Kirk McKenzie combined to score seven boundaries and take the side to 34-0 after three overs of their chase.

King would go on to bring up his half-century off just 22 balls, before losing his wicket on 67 to a Dominic Drakes delivery.

Shamarh Brooks would continue to accelerate the score before Amir Jangoo would take his side across the finish line with a six.
