Dwaine Pretorius, Player of the Match: Yeah, I love playing for Guyana. I think that was again a really good team performance, just like the Jamaica game. I think everyone did their role really, really well. Great opening partnership there from our youngster, only playing his second game now, and then obviously with Glenn there, a lot of experience. So yeah, I think that was a great performance from the boys. Yeah, look, the powerplay is a coin toss on who it's gonna be. They had a few really good shots off me. I had to go to my Plan B and Plan C options, and luckily for me today, those turned out to be wickets. Just as they started going, just as they created some momentum, we kept taking wickets. But right through, I think Shimron bowled beautifully today. Khary, Nabi, and then Shepy as well, bowling really, really well. So I think it was a great team performance again, same with the batting. I mean, (Hetmyer) and (Sampson) coming in there and just finishing it off. Yeah, I think we pride ourselves on not giving away too many freebies in those first few overs. I think sometimes when you search too much for wickets, that tends to happen. If they hit you off a good length and play a good shot, you know, on wickets like these, they might just go up in the air the second time around. So I think he's been really consistent, really nice bowling with him as well. Like I say, he doesn't give them a flyer. I try my best not to do the same. Yeah, I mean, our fans are really awesome. Wherever we go, they're supporting us. I mean, that's what's really cool about playing for the Warriors. Wherever we go, we've got a really good fan base. And yeah, thank you so much for all the support.
There was a nervy period when Mavendra Dindyal got out and Shai Hope was to follow next, but then came Shimron Hetmyer, who showed his clutchness once again. After consuming a few deliveries, he came into his own, slamming 26 off 11 and putting all thoughts of a gripping last-over affair to bed. Joshua Bishop was the pick of the bowlers, but the rest of the cast was expensive, and they didn't have many runs to defend to begin with. Earlier, the Warriors bowled spectacularly, thanks to Khary Pierre, Dwaine Pretorius, Imran Tahir and the tearaway fastest bowler of the CPL, Shamar Joseph, who kept a lid on the score and didn't allow themselves to be dominated at any stage. Nobody from Saint Lucia Kings got going and converted their starts into something substantial

Theekshana to Hetmyer, SIX, Over the wicket, shorter length and gets a hint of turn towards leg-stump as Hetmyer steps into the leg-side, takes a good look at it before bludgeoning it way over deep midwicket for a six and he finishes the game in great style.

van Schalkwyk to Sampson, no run, Well-bowled. Pulls his length back and gets it to swirl across a wide line, doesn't connect on the swat

van Schalkwyk to Hetmyer, 1 run, Low and slow wide yorker wide of off, pushed to long-off. Scores are level

van Schalkwyk to Hetmyer, FOUR, Top-edge flies away and beats deep third; this has been a severe onslaught. On a length and floating outside off, goes down and goes for a cut, thick edge trundles away to the rope

van Schalkwyk to Hetmyer, 1 wide, Shadley under enormous pressure, bowls it short and outside the guideline on off, wide signalled

van Schalkwyk to Hetmyer, FOUR, And another one, this is insane batting! On a length and pushed it wider, he picks it early and he tonks it into the gap at deep midwicket for another four
