GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS VS JAMAICA TALLAWAHS – MATCH ABANDONED WITHOUT A BALL BOWLED


Wednesday 15th July – Providence, Guyana



Persistent rain caused the match between the Guyana Amazon Warriors and Appleton Estate Jamaica Tallawahs to be abandoned in the Hero Caribbean Premier League. Despite the sterling efforts of the Providence ground staff there was never a break in the weather that was long enough to get cricket underway. A six over match was scheduled to begin at 9.15pm local time but yet another rain shower made that impossible.

A “no result” means that the teams get one point each pushing the Tallawahs up to second, ahead of the St Lucia Zouks on net run rate. The Jamaican side have just one match remaining in the group stages so can now garner a maximum of 11 points. Whether they finish in the top four will depend on the results of others.

The Amazon Warriors remain in 5th place but, with three games in hand, they can still progress but they will need to win at least two of those remaining matches to be confident of competing in the knockout stages. If they win all three there is a theoretical chance they could finish top of the league and qualify automatically for the final, but that too would depend on how results go for the other teams.
