COOL RED STEEL FIRE TO REACH CPL FINAL

Sat, Jul 25, '15

Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel caused Guyana Amazon Warriors to crack with the bat and then made fairly little fuss with the run chase to run out deserving winners in a must-win Eliminator match-up and earn a place in the final of the Caribbean Premier League against current holders Barbados Tridents.

The hosts lost the toss but Red Steel captain Dwayne Bravo was not concerned. Amazon Warriors opener Lendl Simmons cracked the first two balls of the innings to the boundary and plundered 12 runs from the first over, but that was the highlight for Guyana as their innings halted and then quite spectacularly unravelled under intimate examination from the slower bowlers of the Red Steel attack.
