Joseph leads the wrecking crew - Speedster Shamar Joseph was the standout wrecker-in-chief, tearing through the batting order with a brilliant spell of 3 for 22. Spin master Imran Tahir added to the middle-order misery by snagging 2 for 15, while Khary Pierre chipped in with 2 for 19 to keep the boundary hits to a minimum. Amir Jangoo provided the sole real resistance for the hosts, fighting hard for his 37 off 29 balls. However, with Hassan Nawaz and Kusal Perera failing to capitalize on their starts, the home side folded prematurely with 18 balls still left unused.

OUT! TIMBER! What a season it is turning out to be for Shamar Joseph. He comes around the wicket and bowls on a good length, pitching it on the fourth stump, angling in sharply, but the ball nips away late to beat the outside edge of Jayden Seales' front-footed defence before it hits the top of the off stump. Joseph screams out loud and punches the air in celebration. Antigua & Barbuda Falcons have posted 116 on the board.

OUT! PERERA IS RUN OUT! This is the last thing the Falcons would have wanted. Flatter and much fuller, on off. Kusal Perera reverse sweeps it to the right of backward point. After hitting the shot, Perera drops on his back, gets back on his feet and looks for a single. Shadab Khan sees that the fielder on the right has done well to stop, but the ball is much away from his body. There's a bit yes and no between the batters and Khan ends up canceling the plan.

Earlier in the innings - The first innings saw the Guyana Amazon Warriors completely dominate after winning the toss and opting to field, ruthlessly dismantling the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons for just 116 runs in 17 overs. Squeezed by tight spin and aggressive pace, highlighted by Shamar Joseph’s explosive 3 for 22 and Imran Tahir’s miserly 2 for 15, the Falcons were kept under relentless pressure, with only Amir Jangoo offering meaningful resistance through his 37-ball 29. Unable to construct partnerships or bat out their full 20 overs, the hosts folded early, leaving Guyana with a comfortable target of 117 that they ultimately wiped out in under ten overs.

Falcons left helpless as Guyana cruises home - The Falcons' attack was left completely helpless, enduring an absolute nightmare with the ball as Shamar Springer conceded 24 runs in less than an over. Early strikes by Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales were nothing more than minor blips on Guyana's radar. Fittingly capped off by Quentin Sampson hitting a six on his very first ball, the Warriors cruised across the finish line with a staggering 7 wickets in hand and 61 balls left unused, securing a statement victory.
