Hetmyer’s 43-ball hurricane
Shimron Hetmyer turned a quiet powerplay into a statement innings, smashing 111 off 43 to drag Guyana Amazon Warriors to a DLS win by 9 runs. After GAW stumbled to 31/2 in the first six, Hetmyer flipped the tempo in the middle overs, and even TKR’s blistering reply — sparked by Alex Hales and Nicholas Pooran — couldn’t quite reel it back in once the chase hit its first real speed bump.
Middle overs decide it
The game swung hardest in the middle phase. GAW exploded from 31/2 in the powerplay to 154/2 through the middle overs, a surge built around the 79-run stand between Hetmyer and Mohammad Nabi. TKR, by contrast, were 67/2 early but slid to 105/5 in the middle, losing three wickets for 38 as the required rate climbed and shot-making got riskier.
Nabi’s spell, Hales’ burst
Hetmyer was the difference-maker, but Nabi’s 3/20 in three overs gave the innings its shape: he broke the chase’s rhythm and forced TKR into higher-risk options. Hales’ 55 off 24 and Pooran’s 43 off 16 briefly put TKR ahead of the asking rate, yet the wickets in the middle overs meant their finishers were left with too much to do against a set field and a clear plan.
Form lines up with finish
Pre-match numbers leaned toward GAW’s momentum and season edge, and the match followed that script once the dust settled after TKR’s fast start. TKR’s recent head-to-head comfort showed in the way Hales attacked from ball one, but GAW’s steadier form told when the chase needed a calm over or two. Even in a shortened contest where one over can flip everything, GAW owned the decisive phase rather than relying on a late scramble.
