Win Projections to be updated soon
The Guyana Amazon Warriors defeated the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots by a significant 30-run margin on September 21 in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 match number 21. The primary factor in the team’s victory was Shamar Joseph’s outstanding all-around performance.
Guyana Amazon Warriors batted first in the opening overs of the match, amassing a respectable 137/8 in the 20 overs given. Shimron Hetmyer, a left-hand batsman, struck a scorching 63 off just 33 balls, hammering four boundaries and five sixes. Hetmyer’s aggressive innings helped the Warriors secure a strong finish despite Ashmead Nedd’s outstanding 4/25 bowling stats for the Patriots.

With the match on the line in the fifteenth over, Joseph delivered an incredible run-out. Joseph raced towards the ball as Evin Lewis dipped a shortish delivery towards the off-side. He grabbed it up with one hand and struck the striker directly, stopping Rilee Rossouw just outside of his crease.

The St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots dropped their eighth straight game
After the run-out, the Patriots collapsed, losing their final six wickets for a meagre 16 runs. In addition to taking three wickets for only nine runs in 2.3 overs, Joseph had an outstanding day with the ball in his hands as well.
Although Evin Lewis led the Patriots in scoring with 49 points off 46 balls, his teammates’ lack of cooperation ultimately proved to be their undoing. With Joseph leading the charge and Moeen Ali providing a cost-effective 2/9 spell, the Warriors’ bowling attack destroyed the Patriots for 107 in 18.3 overs.
