Warriors fall short despite Hodge effort

Sat, Jun 27, '15

Brad Hodge's unbeaten 45 off 30 deliveries was not enough as Guyana Amazon Warriors fell just short against St Lucia Zouks in Gros Islet. Needing 157 in a match shortened to 18 overs per side, Amazon Warriors finished on 154 for 5.

Hodge and Tillakaratne Dilshan seemed to be guiding their side home with 14 needed off the last over but the latter was bowled by Fidel Edwards off the second ball. Dilshan had had to retire in the fourth over after being hit by a Kemar Roach bouncer, but returned in the 16th at the fall of the third wicket. He played a vital hand, hitting 29 off 16, but Amazon Warriors managed only one boundary after his dismissal.
