12.00am The Guyana Amazon Warriors have picked up steam and momentum just when it has mattered. Peaking in T20 tournaments is quite a highly-discussed topic; the Amazon Warriors have peaked at the right time. Chasing 169, Chadwick Walton and then Luke Ronchi put on a stand of belligerence to boot the defending champions out of the tournament. The Tallawahs, apart from Mahmudullah, did not have answers, nor did they ask the right questions. They have plenty they can take out of this tournament, but they did have a chance to finish in the top two, so some rued opportunities for them. The Amazon Warriors progress to the second qualifier, another knockout, against the Trinbago Knight Riders in under 24 hours. We'll be back then, so see you. Take care.
Rayad Emrit: "We knew there was going to be a lot of dew, the toss was important. Keeping them to 170 was decent. We haven't seen the best of Rashid Khan yet. Tomorrow is going to be our toughest game, our ice baths are ready, for 12.30 in the morning. We are professionals.
Kumar Sangakkara: "We were 30-40 runs short, didn't help that the ball was changed just before that over from Rashid Khan, those three wickets put us on the back foot. We have gone soft in the Powerplay, which is why we played the big guy Lewis. Everytime we play naive, silly cricket, we lose games. We had a specific plan, our bowling has been inconsistent. I told all batsmen coming in, it's going to be the googly (the hat-trick).
Luke Ronchi, the Man of the Match: "It got dewy, quite hard to hold onto the ball, skidded onto the bat. Trying to continue with the momentum as much as I can really. My role is to be positive, and as long as I can. Having 14-15 games (the Natwest T20 Blast) there made a big difference.
It has been four hours since this game started
full and straight, driven past the bowler and his partner for a run to long-off
full length outside off, tapped towards point for a quick run
full and straight, pushed back to the bowler
full delivery outside off, seaming back in, defended into the off side
Could be the last over of the Tallawahs campaign. Santokie will bowl it
short, on the ribs, gloved down to fine leg awkwardly for one
good length outside off, dabbed to point
races away through point. Sami stares, Fudadin glares. Full and wide outside off, slices this through point. Used the pace of Sami
fullish delivery outside off, confidently pushed out to the sweeper cover
Primus
Ronchi's belligerence ends. And it needed quite a terrific delivery to end it. Full on leg, quick, hurries Ronchi for pace, who is late on his flick, struck in front and the umpire accepts Sami's plea. Ronchi has taken this game away from the Tallawahs
Another ball has to be changed
shortish outside off, angled away, patted past backward point for a run to third man
that's four more, and that should be the game. A slower ball on middle and leg, Fudadin chooses a good option, hits that right back, past Kesrick. Didn't overhit that
the slower ball outside off, a thick outside edge down to third man. Tried to clear cover
much much better. Full outside off, guided down to third man
that will help Fudadin. Take down the hesitant bowler. A slower ball on off, Fudadin stays low and clobbers a swat way over midwicket
a slower delivery from slightly wide of the crease, Ronchi misses a flick, struck on the pad. A big appeal, but sliding down. Ronchi has lost his momentum too
a low full toss outside off, driven to cover, who fumbles and allows the single. Not very good from that fielder, allows Ronchi back on strike
after four dots, Fudadin tries to smash the ball out of the ground. Short down leg, mis-timed to midwicket for a tight run.
pressure, pressure. Shortish length outside off, dabbed to point
