Match Highlights
Guyana Amazon Warriors won the toss at Providence Stadium and elected to field first, giving Antigua and Barbuda Falcons the opportunity to establish the target. The Falcons responded with 182/5 from their 20 overs, a total built through contributions across the batting order and a decisive late acceleration. The eventual 65-run victory showed the importance of the Falcons converting their innings into a substantial total before their bowlers took control of the chase.
The Falcons began with Karima Gore and Evin Lewis at the crease. Gore made 23 from 18 balls, including three fours and a six, while Lewis contributed 22 from 18 with one four and two sixes. Their partnership was interrupted when Gore was dismissed for 23 at 3.4 overs, with Khary Pierre taking the wicket. Lewis then fell to Imran Tahir at 7.3 overs, leaving the Falcons 55/2 and creating an opportunity for GAW to exert greater control over the innings.
Amir Jangoo and Hasan Nawaz subsequently provided the stability the Falcons needed. Jangoo scored 27 from 30 balls, while Nawaz produced a more aggressive 36 from 27 deliveries, striking three fours and two sixes. The pair helped take the score to 102 before Jangoo was dismissed at 14.1 overs. Nawaz continued briefly but fell at 16.3 overs with the total at 120, leaving the Falcons needing a strong finish to reach a competitive score.
Moeen Ali then supplied another burst of attacking batting. The Falcons captain made 18 from only 12 balls and hit two sixes, pushing the scoring rate higher as the innings entered its final stages. Moeen was dismissed by Romario Shepherd at 17.5 overs with the score on 136, but his departure brought Shadab Khan to the crease with the innings positioned for a final acceleration.
Shadab Khan delivered exactly that. The Player of the Match struck an unbeaten 30 from just nine balls, hitting two fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 333.33. Fabian Allen also remained unbeaten, making 11 from seven balls with one six. Their late contribution took the Falcons to 182/5 after 20 overs, with 46 runs added after the dismissal of Moeen Ali. GAW’s bowling figures showed Mohammad Nabi and Imran Tahir were the most economical, while Romario Shepherd conceded 51 from three overs despite taking one wicket.
The Amazon Warriors began the chase with an aggressive approach. Rahmanullah Gurbaz smashed 18 from eight balls with three sixes, while Mavendra Dindyal made 25 from 13 deliveries with two fours and two sixes. GAW reached 33 before Gurbaz fell to Shamar Joseph at 2.2 overs, and Shai Hope was dismissed for a three-ball duck at 2.5 overs. The early double strike immediately changed the shape of the chase, leaving the Warriors 34/2.
Dindyal continued attacking but his dismissal at 4.5 overs left GAW 54/3. Shimron Hetmyer then fell for four at 5.1 overs, reducing the score to 59/4. The rapid sequence of wickets meant that the Warriors were unable to build the kind of sustained partnership required to chase 183. Alzarri Joseph was particularly effective during this period, while Joshua James also made an important contribution with two wickets.
Mohammad Nabi attempted to rebuild the innings and became GAW’s leading scorer, making 23 from 22 balls with two fours. However, the wickets continued to arrive around him. Quentin Sampson scored 12 from seven balls, but Shadab Khan removed him at 6.4 overs with the total on 74. Romario Shepherd was dismissed for six at 7.2 overs, followed by Dwaine Pretorius for one at 8.1 overs. By then, the Warriors had slipped to 86/7.
The middle and lower order could not reverse the collapse. Shamar Joseph made five before being dismissed by Sufyan Moqim, leaving GAW 99/8 at 9.5 overs. The match flow recorded a strategic timeout at that point, with Nabi on 14. The Warriors subsequently crossed 100 at 9.6 overs, but the recovery was short-lived. Shadab Khan dismissed Pretorius and later took another wicket, while Sufyan Moqim claimed two wickets to keep the Falcons firmly in control.
Alzarri Joseph completed the strongest individual bowling performance of the match, finishing with four wickets for 41 runs from his four overs. Shadab Khan supported him with 2/19 from four overs, while Sufyan Moqim also returned 2/18 from three. Joshua James took 2/11 from 1.2 overs. The combined impact of those spells meant that the Warriors were bowled out for 117 in 14.2 overs, ending the chase 65 runs short of the Falcons’ 182.
The final phase underlined the contrast between the two innings. The Falcons had recovered from 120/4 and 136/5 to post 182/5, with Shadab’s nine-ball unbeaten assault providing the defining acceleration. GAW, by contrast, lost wickets consistently after its brisk start and never established a partnership capable of matching the required scoring rate. The Falcons’ ability to finish strongly with the bat and then strike repeatedly with the ball determined the result.

Key Moment
