Commentary

So that will be all from our coverage of this contest but there's plenty more cricketing action lined up for you over the course of the next week. Do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for our coverage of it all while also keeping yourselves updated with all the other cricketing news from around the world on this very platform. For the moment though, this is the duo of Rajarshi Das and Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave. Thank you so much for tuning in as we hope you enjoyed our coverage. Have a great week ahead - buh-bye and take care!

The Amazon Warriors put in a largely collective effort to record their second win of the tournament. Some areas to work on of course and skipper Imran Tahir is mindful of that. But they can be very pleased with the start they've made. As can the Tallawahs with regards to how well they've fought but they certainly don't want to bat the way they did in the powerplay today. Perhaps Alex Hales' entry in the next game is the tonic that the defending champions need going forward as they look to put their first defeat of the season behind them.

Imran Tahir (Guyana Amazon Warriors captain): (On his catching) I'm one of the guys who likes to play cricket with pride. I like to set standards and I work hard. I'm also very pleased to see that I ran and took the catches so quite pleased with myself. That's how our team was based before we came into the competition, we had 2-3 overseas guys on top. We're very confident in any situation but Hettie and Shai showed their class in the last two games. We were in trouble both the times and they set it up for Keemo to take over. Keemo was hitting the ball really clean and it was nice to see since he didn't get too much opportunity to bat in the previous games. We were lucky to get wickets in the powerplay. That obviously put us in front. If I have to be honest, I want to look at improving myself going into the next game. That's not the standard I set for myself. I think Motie bowled really well. I felt as a spinner he was really unlucky. Two-three shots were very close and the guys could have got out. I have to accept as captain that this ground is really small. I thought he bowled really well but it didn't go his way. It's about how you come back. (On captaincy) It's difficult - it's a challenge. Life is all about challenges. I've been given this opportunity for which I'm really grateful to Guyana. I want to do as well as I can for Guyana and Guyana fans who have been waiting for the CPL trophy for many ways. I want to play the game and give back the joy and trust they've given to me.

Brandon King (Jamaica Tallawahs captain): We went with the combination of an extra spinner thinking the wicket will have something in it. Looking at the game it was pretty difficult for the spinners - they didn't get much turn. It was always challenging coming after the powerplay. We didn't bowl as consistently as we would have liked but we could have chased it down if we had enough wickets in hand. They didn't start very well either - they lost three wickets in the powerplay for not too many runs but ended up getting 200. We knew that we could potentially catch up in the end if we had wickets in hand. But losing 5 wickets in the first seven overs made it very difficult to catch up. Coming from the position we were to finish on 170 was an incredible effort from them (Wasim and Allen). (On Alex Hales) He's ready to go from this point onwards. He just came in yesterday so giving him a bit of time to settle into conditions.

Romario Shepherd is the Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: I've been working very hard, and now to see me reaping my rewards is amazing. Keemo played a fantastic innings as well, we were under some pressure when he went out to bat. The way he just continued, that was great! Basically, fitness is a key part of my game. I have to bat, bowl, and so, I train very hard and try to condition myself. Specially in this kind of heat, it comes handy! It's about having that fire inside you to burn a bit longer, we've been going up until the semis and the finals longer. We just lay off a bit, so it's about keeping your foot on the gas.

Match Summary: Guyana Amazon Warriors beat Jamaica Tallawahs by 34 runs.

Shimron Hetmyer 60 (45) | Romario Shepherd 3/7 (3)
Imad Wasim 63 (36) | Mohammad Amir 3/33 (4)

As Danny Morrison mentions on air, it didn't seem as though this would be the margin of defeat given that the Tallawahs were crumbling at 36/5 at one stage. They've fought like true champions thereafter but surely, they were by no means the better side today and it reflects in the end result.

The Amazon Warriors had 211 to defend thanks to a stunning couple of knocks from Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul. If there was anything more stunning though, it was the manner in which the Warriors fielded and took their catches today. Skipper Imran Tahir showed the way with a couple of outrageous tumbling catches and with the top-order crumbling like a pack of cards, the Tallawahs continued to fall behind the eight-ball. Neither did the runs come, nor did they keep enough wickets in hand and it seemed as though they would be rolled over for under 100 at one stage.

Imad Wasim counter-attacked and dominated the spinners in particular though with Fabian Allen giving him company. The latter took his time and with the asking rate continuing to mount to gargantuan proportions, the Warriors were always in control. That said, the partnership between Wasim and Allen kept the Tallawahs afloat with some big overs following against the spinners. Tahir dished out far too many in the slot and traveled the distance while Gudakesh Motie was met with similar treatment. Wasim was dismissed post a phenomenal half-century and once Allen followed soon after, it seemed as though the writing was on the wall.

Hayden Walsh and Chris Green fought on though and there was still a glimmer of hope left for the defending champions. The rate at which they lost wickets at the start came back to haunt them big time towards the back end though as they succumbed by 34 runs. Pit the number of extras they conceded (26) against that of the Warriors (10) and it kind of tells you where they lost a good part of this match. Stay tuned for the presentation...

Catching practice. And that pretty much tells you why the Warriors have come out on the right side of this - their fielding has been nothing short of outstanding and this is a comprehensive win that they've pocketed.

18.4 Dwaine Pretorius to Chris Green, OUT! It's all over! The 8th catch of the innings wraps things up! Pitched up outside off stump, Green looked to have a free swing at it, the ball took the upper half of the bat, didn't quite have enough legs on it to clear the ropes, Saim Ayub at long off stationed himself under it and pouched it safely! The Guyana Amazon Warriors take the honours by 34 runs, having bowled the Jamaica Tallawahs out with 8 balls to spare!

Chris Green c Saim Ayub b Dwaine Pretorius 15 (8b, 3x4, 0x6)

18.3 Dwaine Pretorius to Chris Green, on a good length outside off, Green looks to slog but inside edges onto his pad

Of course there's another question that has to be asked - does Irshad have a Jack Leach in him?

Salman Irshad, RHB, is the last man out in the middle

And indeed, he is short of his ground! Just when you think that the Tallawahs are in with a realistic sniff, they lose another wicket. Just one more left in hand now - different format of course but does Chris Green have a Ben Stokes in him?

18.2 Dwaine Pretorius to Chris Green, OUT! Amir might just be short of his ground here - he is! This was a slower one on a full length outside off, Green swatted this one with a flat-bat towards deep cover. The man out there fumbled, the batters decided to take on his arm, the throw came in at the bowler's end, Amir was struggling, and even though it was a bit wide, Pretorius did really well to gather and under-arm it onto the stumps with Amir inches short!

Mohammad Amir run out (Saim Ayub/Dwaine Pretorius) 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)

18.1 Dwaine Pretorius to Chris Green, FOUR! Full, wide outside off, Green freed his arms and looked to smash it towards the off side, found the gap, and the boundary!

Pretorius given the ball ahead of Shepherd. Not sure this is the right move irrespective of how things unfold here.

Just two wickets in hand but there's only one way to go here for the Tallawahs. They've been magnificent in the second half of this innings but they need a miracle no less in spite of that. Jamaica Tallawahs require 40 runs off 12 deliveries at 20.00 RPO.

17.6 Gudakesh Motie to Mohammad Amir, fired in the blockhole on middle stump, drilled back to the bowler

Mohammad Amir, LHB, comes to the crease.

'Howisthaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat' was the cry from Azam Khan. Probably longer than that in fact. And no wonder - Walsh was nowhere close to dragging his foot back as he goes terribly off balance.

17.5 Gudakesh Motie to Hayden Walsh, appeal for a stumping as Walsh falls over! This was full, fired in outside off, Walsh looked to give it a swat across the line, fell over rather dramatically, and might just have been out of his crease as Azam knocked the bails off!

There doesn't seem to be any bat involved. And I tell you what, that is great awareness from Azam Khan behind the stumps! He broke the wicket with both of Walsh's feet in the air, and out of the crease! The big screen flashes 'OUT', and Walsh departs!

Hayden Walsh st Azam Khan b Gudakesh Motie 15 (6b, 0x4, 2x6)

17.4 Gudakesh Motie to Hayden Walsh, short of a length delivery, nudged towards the mid wicket region. The call was for two very early, and they get it
