CPL 2021: Guyana pip Trinbago in thriller
In one of the most exciting matches of this season’s Caribbean Premier League, Guyana Amazon Warriors beat Trinbago Knight Riders in the super over.

Late heroics by Udana

The Warriors required 139 runs to win.

The West Indian seamer continued his prolific wicket-taking form as he grabbed another four wickers to break the spine of the Warriors.
Mohammad Hafeez had one of his worst batting experiences in any form of cricket as he could only score 16 runs in 30 balls.
The veteran Pakistani batsman just couldn’t seem to get going as he got beaten time and time again by seamers and spinners.
Hafeez fell to Kharry Pierre.
Hetmeyer and Pooran both scored 27 runs each to ensure that the match goes to the final over.
On the final ball, Udana ran Imran Tahir out to ensure that the match gets decided in the super over.
Seifert clinches it for the Warriors
Sunil Narine bowled the super over for the Riders.
Pollard couldn’t have expected any more from his former international teammate as he bowled out both the Warriors batsmen in five balls.
Firstly, he got the wicket of Pooran who skied the ball straight into the hands of the fielder at long-off.
On the fifth ball, Narine got the wicket Hetmyer as he edged the ball into Ramdin’s hands.
Trinbago Knight Riders required just 7 runs to win the match.
Defending just six runs, Seifert had a huge responsibility on his shoulders, and boy did he came up with the goods.
On the first ball, he got the prized scalp of Kieron Pollard.
The rest of his 5 balls went for just 4 runs as he displayed a fantastic show of death-bowling to get the Warriors over the line.
