Cameos from Chris Lynn and Anthony Bramble powered the Guyana Amazon Warriors to a seven-wicket victory over the Jamaica Tallawahs last evening in match 9 of the 2016 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) played in front of a sold-out crowd at the Providence Stadium.

Chasing 100 for their third win of the competition, the unbeaten Guyana cruised to 101-3 in just 18 overs after the Aussie Lynn smashed 39 from 35 with a four and three sixes while local boy Anthony Bramble hammered 27 from 18 with two sixes and a four during their unbroken stand of 48.

In a poor batting exhibition, the Tallawahs failed to adjust to the conditions and were eventually steamrolled for an even 100 in 18 overs with 22-year-old Rovman Powell the top-scorer with a gutsy 38.

Warriors’ left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul utilized familiar conditions to finish as the pick of the lot with 3-20 and was reinforced by Pakistani Sohail Tanvir (2-11), all-rounder Rayad Emrit

(2-17) and Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa (2-26).
