Gudakesh Motie, Player of the Match: It was an amazing match. I think we played well overall in every aspect of the game with a positive mindset. I've been putting in a lot of work behind the scenes over the past few weeks, and I'm happy it's paying off. I'm pretty satisfied with my performance. We knew how important this match was, and I'm glad I could be a standout for the team. I just want to say thank you to the fans. There's a big game coming up, and we'll need your support.

At one stage, the Kings were tottering around 50 for 7, but then Pierre's 50 brought them back into the game, and Mills gyrated his way to 30, marching towards the target. However, the early damage done by Motie, Tahir, and Pretorius proved decisive in the end. Losing wickets in clusters cost the Kings; otherwise, they had a real shot at managing a come-from-behind victory. Earlier, Amazon Warriors scrapped their way to a modest score, which turned out to be a mountain for the Kings to climb. McDermott, Sampson, Hope, and lower-order contributions gave them enough to defend. Pierre was superb with both bat and ball, Wiese held his end of the bargain, and Shamsi was classic as usual--a man who relishes the big stage. In reply, Seifert and Charles both got out for individual scores of one, and Auguste fell in single figure as well. Some resistance followed from Chase and Jones, but the Warriors kept pushing them back until Pierre arrived. He continued in his bullheaded way, a lone-ranger act that induced panic in the ranks of the Warriors. Mills, in his first game, also contributed with the bat. All in all, it was a sensational game of cricket

Thank you for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Goodbye and goodnight from Rvel Zahid

Bill: "Am i the only one who thinks SLK have a fleeting chance to pull this off? "

DaWolf: "Game over but credit to the tail for fighting so hard. Just needed more from that top order... " Absolutely

Hassan to Mills, OUT

That's all she wrote. Around the wicket, landed short and wide, casual waft at it and fittingly Tahir gobbles it up at cover inside the 30 yard ring. Amazon Warriors have confirmed their place in the final not before being given a real scare by St. Lucia Kings
