Keemo Paul's bowling to Johnson Charles was the crucial moment of the innings. Thanks to an incredible catch made by Pakistan's Azam Khan behind the stumps, Charles—who had amassed 19 runs off 13 balls—was sent back to the pavilion. The highlight play that turned the tide in favour of the Warriors was the incredible catch.

The St. Lucia Kings had a difficult time right away and were eventually bowled out for a hundred runs. With three wickets apiece, Imran Tahir and Gudakesh Motie masterminded the Kings' destruction. 

The Guyana Amazon Warriors easily pursued the small target in return. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Tim Robinson got things going quickly, scoring 62 runs in just 5.2 overs. Following Robinson's premature exit, Gurbaz produced an incredible 47 off 19 balls, including 7 massive sixes.

Shai Hope scored six before being substituted out for eleven. Azam Khan was bowled out by Alzarri Joseph, adding to his batting misery. But with ten overs remaining, Keemo Paul and Shimron Hetmyer made sure everything went smoothly and they won.
