So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Aryasekhar Chakraborty. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda's coverage of a lot more matches today including the all-important Asia Cup final while the fourth day of the final Test between England and South Africa could also have something exciting in store. Until then, it is a warm good-bye from us!
Shimron Hetmyer, Guyana Amazon Warriors skipper: This is one of the games we did collectively well. Fantastic effort to restrict them to 160 after the start they got. I think it was a mix. One point, thought they will get 200. The spinners got the breakthroughs and then the pacers finished off well. The guys really put the balls in the right areas. It happens. Tough to completely get over it but try to remember the good things you did in the game (Talk to the pacers after the last game). I have been saying it is just one away. Not to get too cocky about it but we know how winning feels like after feeling what losing feels like.
Faf du Plessis, Saint Lucia Kings skipper: Batting cost us the gameTonight 180-190 would have been par. So, it was pretty average batting from a lot of our players. Yes, Shamsi bowled brilliantly, Imran Tahir bowled well but we lacked intent. I think in hindsight, changing the batting order could have been something that we could have done. Today hurts as we did some really good stuff. If the opening partnership continued for a few more overs, we could have posted a match-winning total.
Heinrich Klaasen gets the 'Man of the Match' award Klaasen: I don't see it as a proper day of cricket but nice to get the win. This was a big positive for us and a lot of joy to get over the line. I love to earn people's respects with my performances. Myself and Shimron Hetmyer just looked to get one boundary one over with singles and doubles. Nice to play with a power-hitter like Shimron!
The 'Catch of the Day' award goes to Shai Hope
Time for the Post-match Presentation!
A pretty one-sided victory in the end for Guyana Amazon Warriors. They register the first win of the season with ten balls to spare. Saint Lucia Kings would have thought they can make a match out of the 162-target but Chandrapaul Hemraj came out attacking to give Guyana a head-start. Hemraj's cameo was brought to an end by Roston Chase in the fourth over while Jeavor Royal also sent back Shai Hope in the very next over. Guyana seemed to be collapsing all of a sudden as Royal had Colin Ingram caught at deep covers in the 7th over.
Just as Saint Lucia Kings seemed to be getting on top, Shimron Hetmyer and Heinrich Klaasen came together to build the innings. After starting slowly, both the batters decided to open up as Guyana got on top once again. After a small rain break, Saint Lucia got a small hope as Shimron Hetmyer holed out to long-on off Kesrick Williams' bowling in the 14th over. The hope was extinguished quickly as Klaasen took responsibility and mixed big shots with rotation of strike. In the end, Keemo Paul joined in on the fun as he played some scintillating shots to bring the chase to an early end! This win should set up Guyana for a solid second-half of the tournament!
18.2 Kesrick Williams to Heinrich Klaasen, short and wide of off, Klaasen cracks it to long-off for a single. A comprehensive six-wicket win in the end for Guyana Amazon Warriors!
18.1 Kesrick Williams to Heinrich Klaasen, short and slow, Klaasen moves to the off-side and pulls it straight. The batters go across for the second run
