Tells that they need to focus on their team.
Rovman Powell, the Tallawahs' skipper, says that it was a good start from the bowlers but they strayed from their plans towards the end. Adds that there was hope till Green was there. States that there are lot of positives like how Kennar Lewis batted and McKenzie batted well throughout the season.
Romario Shepherd, the Man of the Match, says that when he went out to bat, Pooran told him to stay out there till the 20th over. Adds that he has been working hard and the results are showing. Goes onto say that they want to win the tournament and they will be giving their best. Adds that they have not won the tournament yet but this might be their year. Tells that he is thankful for the fans and asks them to keep supporting them.
The bowling from Guyana Amazon Warriors was brilliant! Yes, there were some nerves towards the end but they made it out with a victory. For them, it was Imran Tahir who was brilliant as he picked up 2 wickets and gave away 0 runs. Romario Shepherd continued his magnificent game as he did a terrific job with the ball. Gudakesh Motie and Naveen-ul-Haq were expensive and they almost lost the game but Guyana managed to come through in the end. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.
The batting never got going for Jamaica Tallawahs! They lost Kennar Lewis and Kirk McKenzie very early and then they never recovered. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 42 for 6. Carlos Brathwaite and Andre Russell stuck it out but once they both fell, it was all over. Chris Green and Fidel Edwards had some fun towards the end but it was not to be for them. Credit to Chris Green for showing the nerves to take the game to the last over but it was not to be for them.
Saint Lucia Kings' fans rejoice as you have made it to the semi-finals along with Guyana Amazon Warriors, Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. What a win this has been for Guyana Amazon Warriors and they enter the semis with a majestic win. Jamaica Tallawahs would be disappointed as they had a good chance of winning this game but it was not to be.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's it! Green is not happy at all and is just looking at the umpire with anger. Good length ball outside off, Green looks to go over the leg side but it takes the outside edge and goes to Anthony Bramble. An appeal is made and the finger has gone up. Green does not think that he is a goner but he has no option as there is no DRS available for the tournament. GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS WIN BY 14 RUNS.
Who will bowl the final over? Odean Smith it will be. Can he defend 15? Or will we see a Super Over?
