Guyana Amazon Warriors 185/6 (Hemraj 66, Hetmyer 48, Shepherd 32*, Searles 3/39) beat Trinbago Knight Riders 166/5 (Pollard 71, DM Bravo 58*, Green 2/18, Tahir 2/32) by 19 runs

Guyana Amazon Warriors last night extended their perfect 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign to eight wins from eight matches with a 19-run win over defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders at the Queen’s Park Oval despite Kieron Pollard and Darren Bravo briefly threatening to pull off an outrageous heist.

 The Knight Riders appeared dead and buried at 91/4 with just six overs remaining and still needing 95 more to overhaul the Warriors 185/6. But Pollard and Bravo went on a ferocious six-hitting spree that almost dragged the unlikeliest of wins out of the fire for TKR.
