Match Details
8:20 AM IST | That concludes the 18th group fixture of the Caribbean Premier League 2022 between the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Trinbago Knight Riders. The Trinbago Knight Riders came out victorious by 26 runs and finally end their losing drought. The home crowd is on their feet.
In pursuit of 151 on a challenging surface, Guyana Amazon Warriors lost three wickets inside the powerplay. Paul Stirling departed for a duck as Daryn Dupavillon attained a wicket in his first over. Chandrapaul Hemraj and Colin Ingram were trying to stitch a partnership after an early loss of wicket but Rampaul got better off Hemraj 28 (17) with a short-pitched delivery. However, the quick pyrotechnics of Heinrich Klaasen 19 (6) at the stroke of powerplay helped Guyana go past 50 and laid the foundation for the forthcoming batters to complete the task.
However, Guyana kept losing constant wickets and could never make a comeback. They struggled against spin again, which has been their weakness for a long time and they were bundled for 124. Akeal Hosein dismantled the lower-middle order of Guyana and finished his figures on 3/36. Similarly, Andre Russell also grabbed three wickets by giving away just 16 runs. Sunil Narine (2/9) also bagged a couple of wickets each and helped Trinbago get past the line.
Before that, after being invited to bat first in the first innings, Trinbago Knight Riders were restricted to 150/8. The surface was not particularly easy when it comes to batting but a 51-run partnership between Colin Munro and Tim Seifert slowly started to turn the pendulum in favor of Trinbago. The Kiwi pair tackled Shamsi and Tahir exceptionally and kept on tapping for singles and doubles before Munro 42 (37) returned back to the pavilion trying to execute a sweep. Tabraiz Shamsi bagged the most wickets and finished his spell on 4/36, while Romario Shepherd also clinched 3 wickets by giving away just 22 runs.
Ultimately, Trinbago Knight Riders win this encounter by 26 runs, and they are boosted to the fourth position at the points table with 5 points. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation!
