That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Sammy: I will back the decision to bat first. Credit to Guyana who pulled it back in the last five overs. I thought 160 was a par score on that wicket and we could have gone on to score 180. We haven't strung together two performances together. We have two games left, it's must win for us. Hope we will come back stronger. It's 4-2 but I will keep winning the important ones.

Malik: Every victory is very important especially when you are on the road. We have a lot of youngsters who are hungry and keep working hard. Whoever scores 60-70 from the first three batsmen they have the edge. But I will give credit to my bowlers, especially Odean Smith and Ben Laughlin followed him. At one stage, we are looking at chasing 180. Not worried about not having a bad game yet. I will remind my friend Darren, it's 4-2 now. We have this thing going between us.

King: This is a new role for me, batting up the order. I am trying to learn along the way. I and Hemraj know each other's game and try to complement each other.

Brandon King is the Man of the Match. His last four innings read 81* (59), 51* (34), 59 (37) and 49 (24).

9.26pm An emphatic eight-wicket makes it seven in seven for Warriors, equalling Jamaica Tallawahs from the first season. First, Tahir and Laughlin helped them restrict Zouks to 161 despite a blazing maiden half-century from de Grandhomme. King and Hemraj then gave them a 52-run start in just 5.4 overs. Hetmyer fell cheaply but King went on to score an unbeaten 81 off 59 while Malik anchored the innings with 30 not out off 28.
