The Warriors picked up two more TKR wickets inside PowerPlay but it could have been even better as two chances went down.

A partnership of 39 between Narine and Tion Webster looked promising before the former was caught at mid-on, attempting to hit over the top of the infield. When Webster was gone, seven runs later, it was left to Colin Munro and Tim Seifert to rebuild the innings.

Munro top-scored with 32 from 28 balls before he was dismissed by Imran Tahir.

A steady flow of TKR wickets prevented them from really get going but a sprightly 21 from nine balls from Isuru Udana took them to 138 for nine. The Warriors had a wobbly start to their chase with Ravi Rampaul dismissing Hemraj and Odean Smith from successive balls to leave them struggling at 7 for two in the second over. Shimron Hetmyer and Mohammad Hafeez looked to rebuild but they were tied down by the TKR spinners. Hafeez was dismissed by Khary Pierre for 16 off 30 balls to leave Amazon Warriors needing 100 runs from nine overs. Pooran was dismissed by a stunning one handed grab by Akeal Hosein before Shepherd took the game deep with the bat. Amazon Warriors squeezed out the tie off the last ball before they claimed a famous win in the Super Over.
