Back to back sixes off the bat of Tim David at the start of the final over saw Trinbago Knight Riders defeat Guyana Amazon Warriors by five wickets in a pulsating match in Port of Spain. Both sides had periods of dominance in a mid-table clash that lived up to its billing as one of the standout fixtures of the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL). 

Kieron Pollard called the coin toss correctly and elected to field first at the Queens Park Oval and his side gave Dwayne Bravo a touching guard of honour in what could be the veteran all-rounder’s final game at the iconic ground having announced his CPL retirement earlier in the competition. 

No inch was given with the ball though as the Warriors were reduced to 76/7 before Romario Shepherd posted a crucial half century from the lower order in order to rescue his side and put up a competitive total of 148/7.
