The Guyana Amazon Warriors, defending champions, stormed into the CPL 2024 final with a commanding eight-wicket win over Barbados Royals in Qualifier 2. A well-rounded bowling performance from Romario Shepherd (3-35) and Moeen Ali (2-24) restricted the Royals to 148 runs, setting up an easy chase. In reply, the Warriors' top order shone as Shai Hope's quickfire 56 and Moeen's unbeaten 44* led the way to victory, with 5.3 overs to spare.
Moeen Ali’s early boundaries got the chase underway, while Rahmanullah Gurbaz powered his way to 40 off 18 balls, striking two massive sixes off Maheesh Theekshana. Despite losing Gurbaz, Hope and Moeen kept the runs flowing, combining for a brisk 93-run partnership. The Warriors smashed 72 runs in the powerplay, and by the 10th over, they reached 113, putting them in full control of the game. Shai Hope's 26-ball fifty and Moeen Ali's steady 44* brought the Warriors home with ease, booking a spot in the CPL 2024 final against Saint Lucia Kings.
Earlier, Barbados Royals struggled after a slow start. Quinton de Kock’s run-a-ball 15 and Rahkeem Cornwall’s aggressive boundaries weren’t enough to keep up momentum. The Royals finished at 148, with David Miller's 36 off 26 their only major contribution. Key wickets from Shepherd and Moeen kept the pressure on, while two crucial run-outs in the final over thwarted the Royals' hopes of a late surge.
