Presentation time...

For the Amazon Warriors, Dwaine Pretorius set the tone with early breakthroughs and finished with three wickets. David Wiese contributed a couple of key scalps towards the end. However, the standout performer with the ball was the talismanic Imran Tahir, who ripped through the Central Stags' batting lineup with four crucial wickets. Earlier today, the Guyana Amazon Warriors batted first and posted a decent score of 158/6 on the back of runs from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Jewel Andrew, while Matthew Forde, Blair Tickner, and Angus Schaw were the standout bowlers for the Central Stags. The win gives the Guyana Amazon Warriors two crucial points while the Central Stags will hope to bounce back in the coming games.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors have delivered a commanding performance to secure their first win of the season, defeating the Central Stags by a resounding 66 runs. Defending a target of 159, the Warriors struck early, reducing the Stags to four down within the Powerplay. The early collapse proved too much to recover from. Despite some resistance from Matthew Forde and Will Young, the task was too steep, and the Stags were ultimately bowled out for just 92 runs in under 15 overs.
