Match Highlights
Guyana Amazon Warriors won the toss and elected to field first at Gros Islet, a call built around exploiting early-innings assistance before conditions eased for batting under lights. St Lucia’s top order found early rhythm, but the decision to bowl first ultimately paid off as Guyana’s seamers built the pressure that shaped the rest of the innings.
St Lucia’s powerplay produced 51 runs, with Kamil Pooran striking at over 200 before falling to Dwaine Pretorius. Andries Gous also departed inside the first six overs, giving Guyana two early breakthroughs and denying St Lucia the platform their aggressive start had promised. Ackeem Auguste’s brief cameo added some late powerplay intent, but the loss of two recognised batters inside the mandatory overs meant St Lucia had to rebuild rather than accelerate through the middle.
The first real momentum shift came when Pretorius returned to remove Ackeem Auguste and later Charith Asalanka, sandwiching a spell that repeatedly interrupted St Lucia’s rebuilding efforts. His figures of 3/29 became the defining bowling contribution of the innings.
Through the middle overs, Charith Asalanka anchored the innings with a composed 35 off 28 balls, combining with Darren Nedd for a stand that carried St Lucia past 100. Rain interruptions punctuated this phase, but the pair kept the scoreboard moving without taking major risks.
The stand between Asalanka and Nedd proved crucial, lifting St Lucia from 76/4 to 121/5 before both fell in quick succession, triggering a mini-collapse that cost the innings any late acceleration. Matthew Forde’s quickfire 14 off 7 balls offered brief resistance in the death overs.
St Lucia closed on 151/7, a total that looked competitive on paper but fell short of the truly imposing scores this venue has produced. Shadley van Schalkwyk’s unbeaten 13 off 8 balls gave the total a late lift, but 151 always looked chaseable on a surface offering true bounce.
Guyana’s chase began with intent, as Glenn Phillips and Mavendra Dindyal put on 79 for the first wicket inside the powerplay and beyond, striking freely against St Lucia’s new-ball attack and taking the game away from the hosts early. Phillips set the tone with boundaries off both pace and spin, while Dindyal played the anchor role, and the pair’s 50-run stand inside 38 balls effectively removed any early pressure Guyana might otherwise have faced.
Dindyal reached a well-constructed fifty off 50 balls, and though St Lucia’s spinners Maheesh Theekshana and Joshua Bishop found two wickets apiece through the middle overs, the required rate never became a factor for Guyana given the fast start they had banked.
The match-defining phase arrived once Shimron Hetmyer walked in and immediately shifted gears, striking at over 227 to erase any lingering pressure from the two middle-overs wickets and push Guyana firmly ahead of the equation.
Hetmyer’s unbeaten 25 off 11 balls, supported by Quentin Sampson’s electric 13 off 4, sealed the chase inside 18.1 overs, giving Guyana a comfortable seven-wicket win with 11 balls unused and confirming their position at the top of the table.
Tactically, Guyana’s decision to bowl first and lean on Pretorius’s variations set the tone, while St Lucia’s middle-overs collapse after a promising platform proved costly. Roston Chase’s captaincy could not find enough control at the death, and with Theekshana and Bishop unable to fully capitalise on their wickets in the chase, the depth gap between the two attacks was ultimately exposed. The result underlines Guyana’s depth across both disciplines and leaves St Lucia needing a response to arrest their table slide.
