Barbados Royals opener Quinton de Kock scored his maiden Caribbean Premier League (CPL) century during match number 16 of the ongoing 2024 CPL against the defending champions Guyana Amazon Warriors. The southpaw smashed 115 runs off just 68 deliveries with the help of eight fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 169.12 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday, September 14.

He was adjudged Player of the Match for his exploits with the bat. In the five matches he has played so far, the Proteas wicketkeeper-batter has emerged as Player of the Match thrice for his match-winning knocks at the top of the order.

Earlier, Guyana Amazon Warriors skipper Shai Hope won the toss and opted to bowl first. Asked to bat first, the hosts lost opener Kadeem Alleyne in the third over of their innings with 25 runs on the board. Despite the wickets falling at the other end, De Kock who opened the innings alongside Kadeem, kept going and stayed at the crease until the last over ensuring the Barbados Royals put up a strong total of 205 runs.

Chasing 206 runs for their fourth victory, the Warriors could only manage 173-5 in their 20 overs, thereby falling short of the target by 32 runs. With the figures of 3-42, Keshav Maharaj ended up as the pick of the bowlers despite being expensive (economy rate of 10.50). It was the fourth victory for Rovman Powell and company, who are atop the standings with eight points.

Their only defeat came against the Trinbago Knight Riders at home - a fixture they lost by two wickets.
