Prediction

Tahir snaps SLK’s spine

Imran Tahir’s spell was the match’s pivot: five wickets that dragged Saint Lucia Kings from control into chaos and set up Guyana Amazon Warriors’ four-wicket win with nine balls left. SLK had momentum after a brisk powerplay, but once Tahir began to bite, the innings never recovered. Even with Guyana’s chase stalling early, the target stayed within reach, and a late burst ensured there was no upset.

Middle overs become a trap

The game was decided in the middle phase of SLK’s innings. After racing to 51/1 in the powerplay, they managed only 51 runs for eight wickets through the middle overs, sliding to 102/9 and losing any platform for a finish. Kamil Pooran’s 43 off 35 was the lone hand of substance, but the constant strikes meant Saint Lucia couldn’t cash in at the death, adding just 17/1 late to finish 119 all out in 18.5.

Sampson’s blitz, Tahir’s heist

Tahir was the standout, combining guile with relentless accuracy to finish with 5/17 and earn MVP. Glenn Phillips’ 37 off 40 and a 52-run stand with Shai Hope steadied a chase that lacked early rhythm. The decisive punch, though, came late: Quentin Sampson’s 37 off 11 flipped the tempo in a single burst, turning a tense pursuit into a comfortable finish.

Favourites survive early squeeze

Pre-match numbers leaned heavily towards Guyana, and the match followed that script once their bowlers squeezed the life out of SLK’s middle order. The surprise was how awkward the chase looked at first: Guyana crawled to 23/1 in the powerplay, inviting pressure despite the modest target. But their deeper batting and calmer end-game meant the wobble didn’t become a collapse, and the required rate never truly ran away.
