Has he got all of it? No, he hasn't. Swings for the grandstands and gives his all but hasn't got the elevation. Calmly reverse-cupped by Hetmyer at deep midwicket and that's that
Amazon vs Patriots, 8th Match at Basseterre, CPL 2023, Aug 24 2023 - Match Result
That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. See you tomorrow. Till then, on behalf of Binoy George, this is Rvel Zahid signing off
Imran Tahir:: I feel proud; the batters did a fantastic job. Everybody executed well, so I am very happy for the boys. Overs are very crucial in the middle; we have four all-rounders, so we knew we could bring them in anytime; we had that luxury. (Motie) bowled really well in the conditions; it was wet. I am the kind of guy who looks to play positive cricket, and we have got the guys to play in that way. If we have a good start, we try to go as hard as possible. Hetmyer and Hope know their roles, and the way they batted was really nice to see.
Evin Lewis: We were feeling positive with the batters we have but it didn't come off today...could not get a good start. The crowd has always been good here and hopefully we can put up a better show next time. The guys have to step up and it's as simple as that.
Amazon Warriors register a domineering victory over the Patriots. After setting an imposing total of 197/7, their bowlers responded equally well, taking wickets at regular intervals. Shai Hope batted beautifully and laid a solid platform for the lower-order batters to push the score above 190. In response, Fletcher fell early in the piece, but Evin Lewis led from the front, scoring 48 runs off just 24 deliveries. However, once he was dismissed, the other batters offered little resistance as Motie and Tahir spun a web and shared six wickets between them
Andrew: "Motie is my man of the match. Accounting for Lewis, Rayudu and Bosch….and now Kofi. Excellent "
No pace to work with, back of a length, zinging it away outside off, early into the pull, no connection
Touch short on off, yanks his front foot out of the way and lofts it, lands short of long on
Short and slow, rolling his fingers, off the pads in the cordon
A touch short and gets some seam movement outside off, thwacked down to mid-off
Wrong'un turning away outside off, can't lay bat on it
Lots of flight and spinning away outside off, launches it downtown off the cue-end and once again it lands short of Ayub at long-on
Dragged shorter on off, punched off the backfoot to long-off
Helps behind square on the leg side
Cries of catch it and dropped! Fuller googly outside off, smothers the spin and lifts it but didn't get all of it, Ayub came charging in but couldn't get his fingers underneaht
The deluge is getting suffocating for Patriots! Once again stumps disturbed! Excellent wrong'un does the trick, hits the top of off
Bunted to the leg side
Motie does it again! Fourth wicket for the left-arm spinner! He goes for a big hit without sizing up Motie at all and duly perishes, playing across the wrong line and the ball clatters on the off stump, arms aloft, he is loving it
Darted on tight off stump line, nurdled to short third and squeezes a run
Floated up fuller on off, blocked.
Loopy delivery outside off, lunges forward and punches it to cover
Everything he touches turns to gold! Tossed up quicker on a length and gets it to spin away enough to beat his defences, the furniture is disturbed and Motie has got his third wicket. Nicely floated up, sticking to his guns and he was loading for a big shot down the ground
Smashed into the deep at midwicket into the stands, finishes the over with a glorious strike. Assertive skip down and then biffed through the infield
Lobbed up fuller on middle, driven back to the bowler
Flighted fuller outside off, pushes it down to long-off for a run
