Ramdin inspires Warriors to first 2015 Hero CPL win!
Marlon Samuels is stumped by Denesh Ramdin off Devendra Bishoo’s bowling. (CPL).
CPL – The Guyana Amazon Warriors notched up their first win of the 2015 Hero Caribbean Premier League with a crushing seven-wicket victory over the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots at Warner Park in St Kitts.
Captain Denesh Ramdin celebrated the birth of his first child earlier on in the week with a match-winning 54 not out off only 35 balls, including smashing Shahid Afridi for FOUR sixes in a row as his side cantered to their target.
The Patriots had got off to a good start having won the toss and decided to bat, with Evin Lewis and Martin Guptill both getting to 34 before getting out, as the Warriors spinners turned the game on its head with some exquisite bowling.
Sunil Narine (2-27 off 4), Tillakaratne Dilshan (1-9 off 2) and Devendra Bishoo (2-13 off 2) spun the Patriots dizzy with their superb spells and despite three sixes late on from Carlos Brathwaite, the hosts’ total of 149-9 never looked enough. Ronsford Beaton ended with 3-39 in a slightly expensive spell.
Lendl Simmons (41 off 33) got the Warriors’ reply off to a fine start and, although the recalled Tabraiz Shamsi impressed for the Patriots with 1-25 from his 4 overs of left-arm leg-spin, the Warriors were never in any trouble. Ramdin dealt harshly with Afridi in particular as he and Brad Hodge (18 off 15) put on 59 from 30 balls. Even when Hodge was out, it didn’t matter.
