In what is being described by many as the most intense game witnessed in the CPL 2019 thus far, the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots reigned victorious in the 2nd ever recorded super over in the history of the Caribbean Premier League.  A super over is a tie-breaking method  where both teams play a single, additional over of six balls to determine the winner of the match. Not only did the Patriots win this super over but also broke the four match winning streak of the defending champions, the Trinbago Knight Riders.
