The Guyana Amazon Warriors bowled as a unit and put up a disciplined bowling effort. Colin Munro scored 30 from 26 balls with 1 four and 2 sixes.
Samit Patel made a good 34 from 27 balls with 3 fours and 1 six but other than those two contributions, the batting line-up of Trinbago Knight Riders were pressured into submission. Shakib Al Hasan picked up 2 for 20 in his 4 overs. Imran Tahir and Junior Sinclair picked up 2 wickets each in their four over spells. This was a commanding win for the Guyana Amazon Warriors as they won by 37 runs.
