The Barbados Royals sealed a place in Friday’s Hero CPL final with a comprehensive 87 run win over Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
The Warriors won the toss and chose to field, but Barbados Royals would go on to score the joint-highest total of this season by reaching an imposing 195/5. Opener Rahkeem Cornwall headlines the innings, launching 11 sixes on his way to 91, while Azam Khan supported with his own half-century. The Warriors’ hopes of a successful chase were derailed in the powerplay, as they lost four wickets, with Kyle Mayers and Ramon Simmonds proving effective with the ball. Despite the attempts of Shimron Hetmyer who scored 37, it was not to be enough as the Warriors fell to 108 all out.
They still have another bite at the final, as the play in tomorrow’s next qualifier at 7pm. They await the winner of this evenings clash between the St Lucia Kings and the Jamaica Tallawahs.
