00:02Antigua and Warbita Falcons won the toss and put Guyana Amazon Warriors into bat in their Republic Bank CPL qualifier
00:08in Bridgetown.
00:09Glenn Phillips and Mavindra Dindyal put on an opening partnership of 26.
00:21But things went downhill thereafter for the former champions.
00:31Sufyan Mukim was causing the batter's major problems.
00:37And then came Shadab Khan to torment the opposition even more starting with Shimran Hetmeyer.
00:46Here he flummoxed Mehdi Hasan Miraz for a golden duck.
00:51And then came the Hattrick ball to send Quinton Sampson packing for North as well.
00:58It was total carnage at the Kensington Oval.
01:03Sufyan Mukim ended with impeccable figures of 4 for 13.
01:10His countryman Shadab Khan was also brilliant with figures of 4 for 16.
01:16And Shamar Springer took the last one as the Amazon Warriors capitulated for 76 from 15 overs.
01:23Absolutely not, he's gone!
01:27When the Falcons responded, Rakeem Cornwall seemed to be in a hurry.
01:31The rotund all-rounder was gobbling up the Guyana bowlers.
01:35That is not the right length and it's just easy, it's timing.
01:39The opening partnership was worth 71 in just 4.2 overs.
01:43Been hit, he's got interest, he's got interest!
01:46And it was dominated by the man whose sobriquet is Jimbo.
01:49Big right, murder man!
01:51Well this shot is a big deal indeed!
01:53Evan Lewis smashed a couple 4s and maximums in his unbeaten 23.
02:01But Cornwall hit 3-4s and 6-6s before falling to Imran Tahir for 49.
02:06Long enough at all, it'll be the end of Rakeem Cornwall.
02:09In the end, the Antigua and Warbita Falcons canter to their target of 77 for the loss of 1 wicket
02:14in 5.2 overs.
02:17They won by 9 wickets to cruise into Sunday's final,
02:20whereas the Amazon Warriors played Jamaica Kingsmen in Friday's virtual semi-final.
02:24But anyway, now I need 6-4.
02:26They've made their way through to the Republic Bank.
