The Guyana Amazon Warriors romped to their fifth consecutive victory in this year’s Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League by comfortably defeating the Jamaica Kingsmen by eight-wickets on Friday.Once again, the Amazon Warriors were led by their bowlers, who produced another brilliant display in the field to limit the visitors to 159 for seven at the National Stadium.Rahmanullah Gurbaz then scored a half-century, and the home side’s other batters also made significant contributions to see them stroll to 160 for two with 16 balls remaining.The Kingsmen actually did well to get up to their eventual total after Dwaine Pretorius and Khary Pierre made early inroads into their top order.Pretorius, who was named Player-of-the-Match, trapped opener Kirk McKenzie lbw with the last ball of the day’s first over and also dismissed Keacy Carty by the same route for 18 to leave the Kingsmen 37 for two in the fifth over.Usman Khan made a pedestrian ten off 12 balls before he was bowled by Pierre’s left-arm spin, Keemo Paul was run out for 15, and Kingsmen captain Rovman Powell inside-edged the very next delivery from spinner Mohammad Nabi onto his stumps to see his side slump to 83 for five.Four runs later, opener Maaz Sadaqat’s valiant innings of 35 off 34 balls came to an end when he became Pierre’s second wicket.But Hassan Khan lashed an unbeaten 62 off 29 balls to see the Kingsmen end with a flourish, as they collected 67 runs off the final five overs.He shared a 55-run partnership with Odean Smith for the seventh wicket, before Smith was run out in the penultimate over for 13.Pretorius claimed two for 20, while Pierre took two for 21 for the Kingsmen.The Amazon Warriors wasted little time in putting their feet on the gas, with Gurbaz and Mavendra Dindyal putting on 46 runs inside five overs.After Dindyal was bowled Hunain Shah for 33 off 17 balls, the dependable Shai Hope then joined forces with Gurbaz and the two virtually put the result to bed during a 68-run partnership that spanned eight overs.Gurbaz perished when he slapped a full toss from Sadaqat straight into the hands of Powell at cover, after facing 35 balls and striking five fours and three sixes.But Hope and the no-nonsense Shimron Hetmyer put the contest to bed during an unbroken partnership of 46 runs off 30 balls.Hope finished unbeaten on 39 off 35 balls, while Hetmyer was not out on 30 from 17 balls.Summarised scores:JAMAICA KINGSMEN 159-7, 20 overs (Hassan Khan 62 n.o., Maaz Sadaqat 35, Keacy Carty 18, Keemo Paul 15, Odean Smith 13, Usman Khan 10; Dwaine Pretorius 2/20, Khary Pierre 2/21)vs GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS 160-2, 17.2 overs (Rahmanullah Gurbaz 54, Shai Hope 39 n.o., Mavendra Dindyal 33, Shimron Hetmyer 30 n.o.)---Amazon Warriors won by eight wickets.
