Commentary

On a day when the mother of all contests "India vs Pakistan" got washed out due to peristent rain, it was the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Barbados who annihilated the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 98 runs to strengthen their position at the top half of the points table. It was a clinical showing which will give them immense confidence going forward. For the Patriots, it has been a sad tale so far. They have almost knocked themselves out with another shambolic performance. They would surely hope to taste a victory as we reach the business end of the comperition. Like always, it was a pleasure bringing all the live updates from the day. Till the next time this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) biding adieu on the behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Rajarshi Das. Goodnight! Cheers!

Imran Tahir (Guyana Amazon Warriors captain): Look I want to thank everyone who turned up and supported us. That's how you want to play cricket. Look it's very satisfying. Dwaine and Shephi giving us very good start. There is always room for improvement but I can't see too many faults in this team. I think we need to be a bit aware. We have been losing too many wickets up front. I want to see our top order step up. Captaincy is something new for me. I am very lucky that I have great boys. We are happy for each other and enjoy each other's success.

Evin Lewis (St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain): We started really well with the ball but the back end let us down. We batted very poorly. Basically we wanted Drakes to bowl the final over. It wasn't a bad wicket to be honest. It's been really tough. We have been chopping and changing trying to find the combination but it hasn't come off. Hopefully, it comes off tomorrow.

Dwaine Pretorius is the Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: The guys told me at the start of the tournament that I'll see the support from the Guyana team. It's been unbelievable, feels like the crowd's full, and it's only half full. Looking forward to coming back and hopefully, the crowd will be out to support us. I came in the 14th over, we just wanted to play good cricket shots. The first two three overs set us up at the back end. We backed ourselves to get to 170, glad we got to 186. If you try to hit the length on these wickets, you're always at the top of your game. so, today was my day. Previous day was Shephie's day. Immy is always positive, nothing's ever bad for Immy, glad to have him as a captain, I've played with him quite a bit, he backs me as a captain, so it's very good playing in this environment.

Guyana Amazon Warriors won by 98 runs

Keemo Paul 41*(31) | Dwaine Pretorius 3/17(3)
Corbin Bosch 27(27) | Oshane Thomas 3/26(3)

The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots were just no match in front of the Guyana Amazon Warriors as they stormed past the Patriots by 98 runs to win their 3rd match of the competition. The Patriots continued to look clueless and were never really in the game. They kept losing wickets right from the outset and they could never really claw their way back into the game. The pacers and the spinners did their job to perfection before good knocks from Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul before a blitzkrieg from Romario Shepherd took the Warriors to an above-par score of 186.

Andre Fletcher struck a six and a four in the first over before departing of the bowling of Dwaine Pretorius. Evin Lewis and Will Smeed also departed early with Pretorius adding one more in the form of Sherfane Rutherford as the Patriots were reduced to 25/4. George Linde tried to resurrect the sinking ship but perished after his brief stage.

Yannic Cariah and Corbin Bosch tried to stitch a partnership before a sensational outfield throw from Hazratullah Zazai brought about the downfall of Cariah. Bosch who was set was dismissed the very next ball and the writing was very much on the wall.

Saim Ayub was introduced and he bagged a wicket in his first over before Junior Sinclair also got into the wickets column. It was a mix-up in the middle between Oshane Thomas and Dominic Drakes that brought the curtains down to a match that was one-sided for the majority of the contest.

17.1 Imran Tahir to Dominic Drakes, OUT! It's all over! Thomas was never going to get there, he didn't even bother trying to ground his bat! Not that it would have mattered, though! Drakes steered this length delivery to the left of the man at point and called Thomas through for a run. Thomas was slow off the blocks to start with, was slow in getting across to the other end, and was caught yards short as Azam gathered the throw over the stumps and broke them! The third umpire checks whether Azam broke the stumps before the ball lodged into his gloves, he didn't, and that'll seal a royal romping from the Guyana Amazon Warriors - the margin of victory being 98 runs!

Oshane Thomas run out (Keemo Paul/Azam Khan) 1 (2b, 0x4, 0x6)

Another successful over as far as the Amazon Warriors are concerned. Wickets have kept tumbling at regular intervals and this is going to be a huge victory margin.

16.6 Junior Sinclair to Dominic Drakes, good length delivery around off, the ball stuck on the deck, Drakes adjusted, pushed this one towards long off and retained strike

16.5 Junior Sinclair to Dominic Drakes, good length delivery on off stump, driven towards the fielder at cover

16.4 Junior Sinclair to Dominic Drakes, fired in on a good length outside off, defended

16.3 Junior Sinclair to Oshane Thomas, full outside off, Thomas looked to heave it over cover, didn't quite meet it right. Just a single

16.2 Junior Sinclair to Oshane Thomas, on a good length on leg stump, Thomas is beaten trying to play at it off the back foot

Oshane Thomas, LHB is the new man in.

16.1 Junior Sinclair to Johann Layne, OUT! Top catch! This was a short delivery on off stump, Layne looked to smash this one off his back foot over the long on region, got more height than elevation, Pretorius at long on covered ground to his right, got low and caught the ball inches from the ground!

Johann Layne c Dwaine Pretorius b Junior Sinclair 1 (3b, 0x4, 0x6)

What a sensational start from Ayub. He is a part time option but managed to pitch it in the right areas and got some help from the surface. He managed to dismissed Benny Howell and was lifted by his countryman Azam Khan. Tahir trying out a few variations at this stage.
