Time for the post-match presentation...
Earlier today, Trinbago Knight Riders posted 172 for 8 on the back of important knocks from Lorcan Tucker, Akeal Hosein, and Kieran Pollard. The Knight Riders struggled in the first half of their innings but did well to get to a reasonable total. Odean Smith was the pick of the bowlers for the Warriors with 3 for 31 while Tahir, Keemo Paul, and Shepherd chipped in with one apiece. A convincing win for the Guyana Amazon Warriors takes them to the top of the points table.
Not a lot to talk about the Knight Riders bowling. Russell and Ali Khan chipped in with 2 apiece but their spinners failed to contain or pick wickets. The Trinbago Knight Riders will need to regroup and come back with a better effort in front of their home crowd.
Guyana Amazon Warriors have nailed the target with 5 balls to spare and won comprehensively by 6 wickets. Chasing 173 for the win, the Warriors lost Chandrapaul Hemraj early in the chase. Saim Ayub and Shai Hope added 93 for the second wicket and set the platform for the visitors. Ayub departed for a 43-ball 62 but Hope carried on and notched up his fifty. Azam Khan and Shimron Hetmyer provided the finishing touches and got the job done with ease. Guyana Amazon Warriors get their fourth win in a row and are unbeaten this season.
