GAW vs TKR Highlights: Andre Russel powers Trinbago Knight Riders to second position 

GAW vs TKR Highlights of 19th match for Caribbean Premier League 2024 

GAW vs TKR Highlights: Trinbago Knight Riders moved up to second spot after defeating Guyana Amazon Warriors by five wickets at Trinidad.  

Chasing a modest target of 149, the Knight Riders struggled a bit during the middle overs, but thanks to Andre Russell’s 15-ball 36* heroics, they chased it down with four more balls to spare. 

This win pushes the Knight Riders closer to securing a playoffs berth. While Guyana Amazon despite losing their second, still have plenty of game left and can claim a ticket to playoffs with a couple of wins in their next five.

Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders, CPL Match 19 Highlights  

Invited to bat, the Amazon Warriors faced a shaky start and failed to rescue during the middle overs as well.  

After losing their first wicket on 21, they lost the next six in 55, and with 76 for 7, things seemed out of control for the team.  

Romario Shepherd then took the responsibility to take his team forward. Dwaine Pretorius also supported him, as both collected 72 in the next eight overs.  

Shepherd’s brilliant 24-ball 51 not out, and Pretorious 25 helped the side to reach a decent score of 148 after the end of 20 overs.

Middle Overs Puzzle 

After Amazon Warriors, the Knight Riders also trapped in the middle overs’ chaos.  

Starting on a modest note, the Pollard-led side were at 51 for 1 after 8.1 overs, but the dismissal of Shaqkere Parris (29) put the pressure on them.  

Keacy Carty (10), Nicholas Pooran (19) and skipper Kieron Pollard (8) also failed to leave a mark. With 60 required of the last five overs, Andre Russell showed his power  

Tim David with a 24-ball 31* provided a much-needed support to Russell’s 36* off 15, as with their efforts, the Trinbago Knight Riders won the game by five wickets.  

Andre Russell bagged the player of the match award for his match-winning knock.
