The Providence stadium attended a high octane competition Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) held their nerve to beat Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) by three counters in match 23 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025.

The punches loaded with Kieron Pollard are the TKR elevators at 167

Asked to beat first, TKR was in early trouble at 66/4, but the veteran Kieron Pollard put the chronometer with a stock -up. The versatile broke 54 out of only 18 balls, exploding five four and five to propel Trinbago to a competitive 167/5 in 20 Overs.

Earlier, Darren Bravo (33 Off 35) and Keacy Carty (29 out of 34) played hands in reconstruction, while Guyana quarrers kept things in the large part in failure. Moeen Ali (1/11) was the choice of attack, while Dwaine Pretorius, Romario Shepherd and Imran Tahir caught a counter each.

Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer Anchor Guyana’s Chase

Chasing 168, Guyana lost Moeen Ali at a lower cost but recovered by Shai Hope (53 OFF 46) and Shimron Hetmyer (49 out of 30), who sewn a vital partnership. Hope played the role of a regular anchor, hitting three four and as many, while Hetmyer has unleashed her power game with two four and 4 six.

Although the two missed fifty, their efforts have set the tone for pursuit.

The match was still in balance when Guyana slipped to 141/5, but Pretorius (26 steps out of 14, 3 six) remained calm under pressure. His shot calculated in the overs of death allowed Guyana to cross the finish line with a losing ball, ending at 168/7 in 19.5 Overs.

Romario Shepherd (9 OFF 6) and Quentin Sampson (7 OFF 4) also participated in practical cameos to support the prosecution.

TKR quieurs fought hard to defend the total, led by the Sunil Narine still reliable (2/12 in 4 Overs), which applied the brakes in the middle of the Overs. Akeal Hosein (2/35) and Usman Tariq (1/36) also picked up crucial counters, while Nathan Edwards and Andre Russell added everyone.

However, Pretorius’ brightness in the finishing stages has canceled their efforts.
