Kings had a positive start to their innings with du Plessis and Charles comfortably hitting boundaries at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, although the former would lose his wicket attempting a scoop shot. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, the Kings managed to score 189/7 largely thanks to the performance of Charles, who scored 61 and was at the crease for over 15 overs.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots had begun to build a foundation in their chase but lost both openers, Andre Fletcher and Evin Lewis, in the fifth over. With Wiese then taking the wickets of both Darren and DJ Bravo, the Patriots began to rebound with Dewald Brevis scoring some crucial runs before he was caught out. As the Patriots lost more wickets, Kesrick Williams proving a threat with the ball, they were unable to keep up with the required run rate and were bowled out for 140, losing by 49 runs.
