The Guyana Amazon Warriors and the St. Lucia Kings played the 10th match of the CPL 2024 at the Daren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. The Warriors earned an easy victory, as their bowlers put in a dominating show. 

Warriors put in a brilliant bowling effort

Imran Tahir, the Warriors' skipper, won the toss before the match and put the Kings to bat. The Kings suffered a collapse, losing four wickets for seven runs. After this, there was a partnership, but another collapse in the lower order restricted them to 100 runs.

The Warriors came out to chase the target with great intent. They were aiming for a quick win to boost their net run rate. Rahmanullah Gurbaz played the perfect as an opener. His 47 off just 19 deliveries killed off the game as a competition. 

In an attempt to chase down the target quickly, the Warriors lost a couple of wickets and in walked Shimron Hetmyer, the last game's hero, at number five. When Hetmyer took guard, it was the ninth over of the innings, and Alzarri Joseph was bowling.

Things heat up between Joseph and Hetmyer

The first ball Hetmyer faced was a good length delivery that Hetmyer blocked back to the bowler. Joseph collected the ball and had a throw at the stumps; he followed this up with a stare-down to Shimron Hetmyer. 

Joseph went for the same length on the next delivery but tried to angle the ball away from the batter. Hetmyer spotted the length early, cleared his front leg and heaved the ball away over mid-wicket for a huge maximum. It was a perfect reply to the unnecessary stare-down from the previous delivery, 

The Warriors chased down the target they had on board in 10 overs, losing only four wickets. With this win, the Warriors have found their way to the top of the points table with three wins in three games.
