Transcript
00:00It was the Amazon Warriors' second shot at qualification, but they made a big shot early.
00:08De Kock, the Royals' most potent bat, would soon have Rakeem Cornwall for company after
00:13a review.
00:14Already on shaky ground, Alec Athanese and Kadeem Allain would look to increase the tempo,
00:21but the Warriors' spin attack would prove a thorn for the Royals.
00:24Imran Tahir and Muin Ali are counting for the next three scalps.
00:29With five wickets down, David Miller would add some respectability to the score, but
00:35the faster bowlers would take over, moving Miller on 36 with the score 139-6.
00:43Dwayne Pretorius and Romario Sheppard would grab the final four wickets.
00:53Those four wickets would only contribute nine runs, as the Barbados Royals fell below par
00:57at 148.
01:01The Amazon Warriors would feature a new opening pair with Gilbaz and Muin Ali, and they would
01:10click getting a 50-run opening stand.
01:18That partnership would be broken at 54 as Gilbaz fell for 40, but Shea would enter and
01:27take all hope away from the Royals.
01:34He and Ali would keep a foot on the accelerator with a 93-run second wicket stand.
01:39Hope with another 50 under his belt would fall, with the Amazon Warriors just two runs
01:44short of victory.
01:46But Muin Ali would do the honors, remaining unbeaten on 44, as the defending champions
01:50closed on 149-2, setting up a rematch with the St. Lucia Kings in Sunday's CPL Final.
