Rajasthan Royals captain Rovman Powell halted Guyana Amazon Warriors’ batting rampage by grabbing a sensational catch at the Providence Stadium in match number 27 of the CPL 2024 season. The cricketer came sprinting in to dive forward and grabbed the dipping ball to account for the dismissal of a well-set half-centurion Shimron Hetmyer.

Powell’s fielding brilliance during the finishing stages of the Warriors innings emboldened his teammates to pick up some late wickets in the slog overs.

Rovman Powell bags one of the catches of the season

Guyana Amazon Warriors middle-order batters Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer bludgeoned swift half-centuries and formed a 106-run partnership to take their team past the 150-run mark. Hetmyer belted 57 of those runs from just 34 balls with four boundaries and three sixes.

Fully settled at the crease, the attacking left-hander clubbed Keshav Maharaj’s outside off delivery in a bid to serve the death-overs impetus, only to end up getting a top-edge over long on. An agile Barbados Royals skipper Rovman Powell came sprinting in from near the boundary to catch the dipping ball as a stunned Hetmyer had to make his way back to the dugout at 165-3.

While Rovman Powell’s exceptional fielding effort halted Guyana Amazon Warriors’ juggernaut to a certain extent, the hosts still ended up tallying 219-8 by the conclusion of their 20 overs. Shai Hope top-scored in the innings for having cracked 71 rapid runs from just 37 balls with five boundaries and five huge sixes. For the Royals, only Maheesh Theekshana attained superiority over the rampaging Warriors batters by claiming figures of 3-15 from his four overs.

In response, the Barbados Royals managed to make just 172-9 despite featuring David Miller’s sizzling 34-ball 71*. Falling short by 47 runs of their target, the Royals is currently ranked number three on the CPL 2024 points table.
