The Jamaica Tallawahs pulled off an exciting four-run victory over the Guyana Amazon Warriors on Sunday afternoon to remain unbeaten after three games in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
After setting the Amazon Warriors 149 to win, the Tallawahs stifled their opponents’ scoring rate and eventually restricted them to 144/2 off their allotted 20 overs, falling five runs short of the target.
Andre Russell was given the responsibility of holding the Amazon Warriors to less than the required eleven runs off the final over, and he managed that task with a superb display of calm under pressure, conceding just six runs off his six balls.
Jerome Taylor was the most expensive of the Tallawahs’ bowlers, conceding 42 runs from his four overs; however, he had an impact on the outcome, forcing Denesh Ramdin to retire with a delivery that hit him close to his left eye, and stopping a boundary with two balls left in the final over.
Chadwick Walton was declared Man of the Match for his top score of 53 runs for the Tallawahs.
