The Guyana Amazon Warriors consigned the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots to their eighth successive defeat in match number 21 of the CPL 2024 season at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

Here’s the timeline of how GUY vs SKN panned out in Guyana:

GUY vs SKN Highlights: Ashmead Nedd, Mayers Skittle Warriors Top-Order

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots spinner Ashmead Nedd struck twice in the first over of the match by removing both Guyana Amazon Warriors openers, Tim Robinson and Kevin Sinclair for ducks. Shai Hope also failed to lead the Warriors to early recovery as he handed a regulation catch to Andre Fletcher at mid-off off Kyle Mayers as his team slipped to 28-3 in 3.3 overs.

GUY vs SKN Highlights: Shimron Hetmyer, Shepherd Take Warriors To 137

Batting at number four, dynamic middle-order basher Shimron Hetmyer launched five sixes and four boundaries to make 63 swift runs from just 33 deliveries. His 50-run partnership with a struggling Moeen Ali (10 off 22) added some stability to the Warriors innings before both were dismissed by Tabraiz Shamsi in the space of a single over.

Ashmead Nedd added two more to his tally after his opening burst to claim career-best T20 figures of 4-25, while Ryan John caught-and-bowled Dwaine Pretorius to further worsen Warriors’ troubles at 106-8. Fortunately for the hosts, Romario Shepherd at number nine cracked an unbeaten 34* off 22 balls with a boundary and three sixes to take Warriors to a competitive 137-8 from 20 overs.

GUY vs SKN Highlights: Patriots Negotiate Off Moeen Ali In Powerplay

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots openers Evin Lewis and Andre Fletcher compounded just 23 runs during their opening partnership that lasted 5.3 overs. Both batters ended up giving too much respect to Moeen Ali, and to no avail, as the English spinner still bagged the early wickets of Mikyle Louis and Kyle Mayers in his four-over spell at the expense of just nine runs.

Earlier in the innings, captain Fletcher was trapped plumb in front by Gudakesh Motie inside the opening powerplay. At the halfway stage of the run-chase, the Patriots reached 57-3 to require another 81 runs from the remaining 10 overs.

GUY vs SKN Highlights: Imran Tahir, Joseph Initiate Late Collapse In Big Warriors Win

At 77-3, Guyana Amazon Warriors captain and comeback man Imran Tahir (2-34) halted the stay of a threatening Joshua Da Silva with some sharp turn in the 12th over. Young Warriors paceman Shamar Joseph piled on the momentum by mopping up the Patriots tail through his quick three-wicket haul. Joseph also demonstrated pure athleticism by running out dangerman Rilee Rossouw during the decisive moments of the game.

The Patriots had their chase squandered away for just 107 in 18.3 overs to fall 30 runs short of their target, thus helping the Guyana Amazon Warriors register their fourth win of the CPL 2024 season.
