1:43pm Local Time, 11:13pm IST | Sourya: In what was a scintillating CPL Game that swayed wildly to and fro, the unbeaten Guyana Amazon Warriors have prevailed by three runs. It all came down to the last over bowled, surprisingly by left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie (2/38). He was given the unenviable task of defending just five runs as the Barbados Royals needed a mere six. But he came up trumps in spectacular fashion with some brilliant defensive bowling, picking up two wickets in that over and conceding just two.
Chasing 182 for a vital win, the Royals stuttered at the start but some fine hitting by Laurie Evans (44 off 27) and then by skipper Rovman Powell (39 off 19), meant they were well on their way to a famous win. But when Powell was brilliantly run out by Junior Sinclair, the game turned on its head. However, Carlos Brathwaite and Justin Greaves still made them the favorites till that last over. Dwaine Pretorius also bowled a fine spell (2/24).
Earlier,
choosing to bat first, the Amazon Warriors rode two fine half-centuries and a
scintillating partnership from Shai Hope (50) and opener Saim Ayub
(58) to reach a competitive total of 181/9 despite a four-wicket hall by Brathwaite
and a flurry of dismissals late in the piece that did restrict them to an extent. Slow over rate meant Rakheem Cornwall was also shown a red card for the Royals in an action-packed climax.
The victory means the Guyana
franchise top the table and have qualified for the next round.
