Transcript
00:00Barbados Royals were put in a bad by defending champions Ghana Amazon Warriors
00:04in the Republic Bank CPL match at the Kensington Oval. Kadeem Allain was
00:08caught by Shimron Hetmai of Dwayne Pretorius for a brisk 22.
00:15His opening partner Quentin de Kock had a more productive night.
00:22De Kock was the one who did the bulk of the scoring for the Royals.
00:27The Pretorius-Hetmai combination worked again in removing captain
00:32Rovman Powell for seven. David Miller's fleeting stay at the crease saw him
00:36being dismissed by Kimo Paul for one. But de Kock had an insatiable hunger for
00:40runs and kept on going. This single took the South African Southpaw to
00:48three figures. It was the seventh in T20 cricket.
00:57Jason Holder played a cameo hitting 28 not out with three straight sixes of
01:02Paul. In the final over Raymond Reefer picked up the wickets of de Kock for 115
01:07and Rivaldo Clarke for six to end with three for 50. The Royals closed on a
01:12healthy 205 for six. When the Ghana Amazon Warriors replied Azam Khan was
01:17caught for three with Holder being the man to strike.
01:21Keshav Maharaj also joined the wicket-taking party by having Tim
01:27Robinson stumped for 19. Hetmai joined opener Shea Hope and the Guyanese
01:32left-hander hit three sixes in his 28. Hope was the top scorer with 40 but it
01:37was not enough. Holder was reasonable with ball in hand taking two for 32 from
01:44his four overs. Moeen Ali got into the 30s making 33 to be precise. Removing
01:55him was Maharaj who finished with three for 42 from his four overs.
02:01Kimo Paul made 30 not out of 18 balls but it was in vain. Raymond Reefer
02:10hit the last ball for four to end unbeaten on 16. Ghana Amazon Warriors
02:14were restricted to 173 for five and lost by 32 runs. The Royals lead the
02:20standings with Ghana falling one spot below.
