TKR will feel buoyant after outgunning the heavyweights in the final group stage match. Akeal Hosein started the rot, and Waqar Salamkheil and Terrance Hinds were miserly as well. Thereafter, Imran Tahir and Gudakesh Motie batted smartly, ensuring they retained the top-two spot and recovering well after teetering at one stage. Some dropped chances denied TKR a top-two finish, but they'll still be happy with the result and have gained winning momentum. Earlier, Pooran conjured another impressive century, decorated with delightful strokes. In response, the Warriors weren't far behind in the powerplay, but once Hope and Gurbaz lost their wickets, nobody could maintain the intensity and keep the asking rate in check. Guyana Warriors will lock horns with St Lucia Kings in Qualifier 1, while Knight Riders will clash with Barbados Royals in the Eliminator. Thank you for your company today!
