HEADLINE: Peerless Warriors seal top spot with eighth straight win

 
CaribbeanCricket.com 2019-10-01 15:57:31 

Guyana Amazon Warriors extended their perfect 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign to eight wins from eight matches with a 19-run win over defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders at the Queen’s Park Oval despite Kieron Pollard and Darren Bravo briefly threatening to pull off an outrageous heist.

The Knight Riders appeared dead and buried at 91/4 with just six overs remaining and still needing 95 more to overhaul the Warriors 185/6. But Pollard and Bravo went on a ferocious six-hitting spree that almost dragged the unlikeliest of wins out of the fire for TKR.

They came up short, though, with Keemo Paul’s 19th over in which only singles came from the last five balls easing the Warriors’ fraying nerves before Tahir bowled Pollard for a sensational 71 from 38 balls with three balls to go and 21 still needed to at last finish the contest. The final winning margin of 19 runs also highlighted the significance of Romario Shepherd’s late cameo with the bat in the Warriors’ innings – he smashed 32* from 13, with two sixes and a four to finish it off as 25 came from Chris Jordan’s closing over.

Gosh I had to go research the word peerless. Had this image of warriors a bunch of old men incapable of peering over their reading glasses.

Any victory by 19 runs in a T20 contest is a canter, yet the deluded Tits calling it a close game.... smile

Don't be a skunt,no one is deluded,TKR lost the match in the 19th over before that over TKR looked like winners and even GAW followers thought TKR would get past 185.

So, TKR would be happy with an unexpected win to give them another title? GAW have already been performing consistently well and their fans are already very happy.

If GAW win the title too, their fans would be even happier, but nothing can take away from the fact that GAW have been the most consistent high quality team this year, and many other years in the CPL.
