Transcript

00:01After Ghana, Amazon Warriors made 202 for 6 from 20 overs.

00:05Defending champs, St. Lucia Kings chased it down in 18-point run-overs,

00:09with Akeem Oguist getting 73 of 35 balls.

00:12Kings skipper David Rieser lauded the 21-year-old following that knock.

00:16Yeah, I think Akeem Oguist, to be honest, the innings that he played over there,

00:20him and Tim Seyfried at the start really gave us that emphasis that we needed.

00:23It's not easy chasing 200, so you need to have a good start,

00:26and they kind of set the game up for us from there.

00:28Kings fast bowler O'Shea Thomas conceded 33 runs in the 15th over,

00:33with Romario Shepard slaughtering him all over the park.

00:35However, Rieser was not too concerned about it.

00:38When you get in that situation, we want him to go there and possibly strike for us again.

00:43He takes a wicket there, cracks the game open.

00:45Maybe he was just trying a bit too hard or running in a bit too hard there.

00:48It happens. He bowled beautifully before that,

00:51and he's come back over from the other side. He did very well with that.

00:54So it's nothing to stress about it.

00:56You go back again, we don't have too much time to rectify things,

01:00so we'll just have to go relax.

01:02Ghana Amazon Warriors missed out on a third straight win on the road.

01:06According to Captain Imran Tahir, a poor start with a bat hurt them.

01:10I think we lost early wickets, and that was one of the things I can point out.

01:16And I think from there, I've seen one of the best innings.

01:20The way Shepi played, just want to congratulate him.

01:23After long, I've seen an inning like that.

01:25So yeah, he played really well.

01:26And I think I knew, and the whole team knew, that the pitch is really good.

01:31So we were thinking to put, obviously, runs on the board and trying to defend it.

01:34But yeah, sometimes we have to give credit to the opposition that they were played,

01:37and they crossed the line.

01:38At the moment, the St. Lucia Kings are second on the table,

01:42while the Amazon Warriors are third.
