9:05pm Incredible is often an overused term in sport. But trust me, this was incredible. It was gung-ho, it was all-action, it was bruising and for most parts, it was quite pulverizing for the Patriots. They were chasing leather for the majority of the innings, post a brief lull in the powerplay and Permaul, who bowled just two overs, was the only bowler to go at under ten runs per over.

Now, back to the Warriors. Hetmyer was the protagonist of the carnage, smashing his way to a 39-ball 91, which included 11 sixes and no fours. Gurbaz was equally belligerent at the top of the order and brought up his third CPL fifty, eventually finishing with 69 off 37. Pretorius, Reifer and Sinclair also played useful cameos and all of that culminated in the Warriors putting up this mountain of runs. You'd think they have enough in the bank but the Patriots have firepower of their own, not to mention that cricket has seen stranger things in the past. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Shimron Hetmyer: (On how he is feeling) Just a little bit tired, but I will be alright (smiles). I was trying to hit a four but it didn't come off. Playing on this ground, you are basically trying to hit it up in the air. You try to be as clear as possible on the stroke-making and try to use the wind, and also try to hit straight because the boundaries are smaller. (On if the score is enough) Hope so, but it is still about the guys putting the ball in the right areas and taking our chances. It is still a good track.

John to Reifer, 1 run, OUT, a run out off the final ball! Into the blockhole wide outside off. Reifer guides it towards deep backward point and has no choice but to try and pinch a second. He is scrambling to make his ground, though, and is caught just short as Fletcher takes off the bails. The Warriors finish on 266-7, which is the second-highest total in the history of the CPL!

John to Reifer, SIX, into the St Kitts night sky! Another slot ball outside off and Reifer climbs into it. Free swing through the line and he sends it soaring over long on!

A record for the Guyana Amazon Warriors too. The 22 sixes they have hit tonight is the most in an innings in CPL history

John to Reifer, SIX, pick the bones out of this one! Slower ball that lands right in the slot outside off. Reifer lines it up, gets down low and smears it over deep mid wicket!
