Match insights
Falcons rip through Warriors in a brutal middle-order collapse
Guyana Amazon Warriors were 40/1 and then lost 7 wickets in 18 balls, tumbling to 49/8 across overs 8-10. Antigua & Barbuda Falcons seized control in that burst, and the match was decided by that collapse.
Falcons race past Warriors in 9-wicket win
Guyana Amazon Warriors were blown away for 76 all out, and Antigua & Barbuda Falcons answered with 77/1 at 14.4/over. The Falcons struck 8 sixes to the Warriors' 1 and turned 93.5% of their runs into boundaries. It was an incredible game of cricket and perhaps one of the most one-sided affairs you might see, but maintaining upmost excitement throughout.
Cornwall and Lewis put Antigua & Barbuda Falcons on top
Cornwall’s 49 off 16 and Lewis’ 23 off 13 put the finishing touches on an outstanding Antigua & Barbuda Falcons performance, with impact scores of 100 and 92. Cornwall’s standout of +41 and Lewis’ +48 both beat their recent form marks. The brilliant contribution of both Moqim and Shadab Khan should also not go without mention as their mesmerising bowling set up a very low chase for the Falcons' batters.
Match impact vs recent form
This match score (0-100) vs their recent-form average over the card's look-back window.
Antigua & Barbuda Falcons continue in Over 4
Shamar Joseph was taken for 21 in the 4th over, and Antigua & Barbuda Falcons jumped from 50/0 to 71/0 with 2 sixes and 2 fours in the over. The chase is all but done now.
This over · runs
Well clear of the required run rate.
Cornwall shows his power
Antigua & Barbuda Falcons were 24/0, then Khary Pierre was taken for 26 in Over 3 and the chase jumped to 50/0. Three sixes and two fours in six balls turned a steady start into a surge. Cornwall has been on fire and has made the GAW first innings effort look pathetic!

Well clear of the required run rate.
ABF race to 16 in Tahir's first over
Antigua & Barbuda Falcons have started the chase sharply, reaching 16/0 after 1 over with 2 sixes and a four off Tahir. That burst has put 76 within early sight and immediately shifted the pressure onto Guyana Amazon Warriors, who now need a response before the chase gets away.

Well clear of the required run rate.
Shepherd might take a piece of Springer
Guyana Amazon Warriors are 68/9 after 14 overs and seriously struggling. But Romario Shepherd’s strike rate against Shamar Springer sits at 267, far above his 155 career batting SR. The Warriors need to see plenty of that for the rest of this fixture.
Shepherd's strike rate · per 100 balls
Springer keeps Shepherd's batting strike rate below Shepherd's career mark.
Guyana Amazon Warriors lose 7 wickets in 18 balls
What had been 40/1 has crashed to 49/8 in 10 overs, with Sufyan Moqim and Shadab Khan ripping through the middle. Shai Hope looked to have been the Warriors' last hope, and they are looking down the barrel of an incredibly low score.
Warriors lose six wickets in 16 balls
Guyana Amazon Warriors were 40/1 and then tumbled to 48/7 in 16 balls. It just will not stop getting worse for the Warriors! Leg-spin has been doing all the damage for the Falcons, as Moqim and Shadab Khan have ripped through the Warriors and given their side a huge boost in their pursuit of the final.
Guyana Amazon Warriors in freefall at 45/6
Five wickets fell for just 5 runs in 12 balls, turning 40/1 into 45/6 across Overs 8-9. Part of that burst included a Shadab Khan hat-trick - what a CPL he is having! The Warriors are in deep, deep trouble here.
Hetmyer checked as GAW seek a lift
Guyana Amazon Warriors are 43/3 after 8 overs, and Hetmyer’s 92 against Khan sits well below his 147 career batting SR. That slowdown matters with wickets already gone, because every quiet over now tightens the squeeze on a total to set. Antigua & Barbuda Falcons have the opening they wanted, and Khan has helped keep it tight.
Hetmyer's strike rate · per 100 balls
Khan keeps Hetmyer's batting strike rate below Hetmyer's career mark.
Middle overs could decide this one
This danger zone points straight at the engine room, where Sampson has a 178.95 strike rate and Lewis 175.61, while Cornwall still brings 140.17 up top for Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Sampson has been in great, and very destructive, form with the bat so he is one to keep a close eye on. Ali is the late surge threat with 204.29 at the death. If either side loses grip in the middle, the other can take advantage quickly.
Strike rate in standout phase
Standout = best relative rank vs these XIs, not personal peak SR.
Hope has hammered Cornwall
Shai Hope’s strike rate against Rahkeem Cornwall jumps to 241, miles above his 130 career batting SR. Across 32 balls, that is a matchup the Guyana Amazon Warriors will love and the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will not. Cornwall has been used infrequently with ball in hand this year and this matchup won't encourage his captain to do otherwise today.
Hope's strike rate · per 100 balls
Cornwall keeps Hope's batting strike rate below Hope's career mark.
Phillips has taken on Allen before
Phillips has found a higher gear against Allen, striking at 198 in this matchup against a 140 career mark. Across 62 balls, that edge is too big to ignore, and it gives Guyana Amazon Warriors a clear reason to back Phillips to set the tone against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons.

Allen keeps Phillips's batting strike rate below Phillips's career mark.
Ali needs 3 to reach 8500 career T20 runs
Ali stands just 3 runs away from 8500 career T20 runs. He has had a fantastic career and will be hoping his runs in the Falcons' middle order can carry them into the final.
Phillips needs 5 for 7500 T20 runs
Phillips goes in with 7495 career T20 runs and only 5 more needed to reach 7500.
Jangoo needs 14 to reach 500 CPL runs
Jangoo comes into ABF v GAW on 486 CPL runs, just 14 short of a neat 500 in this T20. Early on in his career, passing that milestone will mean a lot to him and he will hope it brings with it bigger and better things.
Hetmyer and Tahir headline Guyana’s threat
Guyana Amazon Warriors arrive with two match-winners in form, and Hetmyer’s 304 runs at a strike rate of 201 in his last 10 games makes him the most dangerous batter on the card. Tahir has backed that up with 17 wickets at 6.36, while Sampson’s 224 runs at 161 gives the lineup another edge. Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will lean on the young James, whose 13 wickets keep them in the contest.

GAW have a strong record against ABF
Guyana Amazon Warriors lead the head-to-head 4-2, so Antigua and Barbuda Falcons know they are on the back foot in tonight's clash. Further, GAW have been, without doubt, the most impressive team of this year's competition, so ABF would have to overcome an opposition they have struggled against as well as a team that have proved a struggle for most challengers so far. However, of the two sides to beat the Warriors this year, the Falcons are one, meaning they know their best level can overcome the competition favourites. Both of these teams will be extremely keen to book the first slot in the final and avoid tomorrow's additional qualifier, but only one of them will go straight to the final after the game tonight.
GAW start quickly, but lack the power of ABF at the death
Across their last 10 matches, Guyana Amazon Warriors have edged Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the Powerplay at 7.76 to 7.59 and pulled further ahead in the middle at 8.15 to 7.37. The Falcons, though, have the stronger finish with 11.0 at the death against 10.3. In large parts, their excellence at the death can be attributed to the scintillating ball-striking of Shadab Khan, who has been ably supported by others, such as Moeen Ali and Hasan Nawaz. That sets up a contest where Guyana Amazon Warriors look slightly stronger through the majority of their batting innings, but Antigua and Barbuda Falcons can still hit back late and hard.

Kensington Oval favours the chase
This ground has seen an average first-innings score of 157 in the last 30 matches. Chasing has been successful 66% of the time during this period, and in the last 5 matches here, all 5 have been won by the chasing side. This includes the Jamaica Kingsmen's massive victory yesterday, which saw them win by 9 wickets and 35 balls to spare. Do not be surprised to see the toss-winning captain choose to field first and immediately take the first advantage of the night.
