Earlier in the day, the Warriors performed really well with the ball as they restricted the Zouks to just 109 in 20 overs. Naveen-ul-Haq and Keemo Paul were the pick of the lot as they scalped up two wickets each. The other bowlers were really efficient as well as Tahir, Sinclair and Shepherd scalped one wicket each. For the Zouks, no one really stepped up to take responsibility as their top score was just 23 runs by Javelle Glen. This was a comprehensive victory for the Warriors, who did everything well, be it with the bat or the ball, adding two more points to their tally and entering the play-offs. Stick around for the presentation ceremony!
The bowling by the Zouks was not bad but when you have just 110 runs to defend, it becomes hard to bowl to perfection. Scott, Nabi and Glen scalped a wicket each but apart from this, they were not as effective as they would have liked to be.
Guyana win this match easily by 7 wickets courtesy of Hetmyer's half-century. Hemraj also supported him scoring 26 before he departed as well. But for the target set up by the Zouks, the batting did not even have to be spectacular, it just had to be effective and it was from the Warriors.
