Guyana Amazon Warriors left a packed house heartbroken after folding to the Jamaican Tallawahs by two runs in a thrilling final over, as they began their home leg of this year’s Caribbean Premier league (CPL) with a school boyish display, last evening at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.

The evening match began with the Tallawahs skipper, Kumar Sangakarra calling incorrectly, prompting the Warriors to bowl first on a cool afternoon at Providence. Warriors made one change to their lineup from the last match, opting for the extra spinner in Steven Jacobs, who replaced all-rounder Keemo Paul, a move which paid dividends.
