Commentator: Rvel Zahid

Moeen Ali, Player of the Match: I got a little bit lucky actually because obviously full toss, short ball got two big wickets, but it was doing the job for the team like I feel i have done all tournament, especially here in Guyana, amazing place to play cricket and the support I get is outstanding. I actually said to Imran I think he should let me open because I have been opening back home in domestic, and he agreed, the coaches agreed as well so it's something I am used to. I feel like my experience, we have so many power players, I can also play that and also knock it around a bit, win the game for my team...just haven't been scoring that many runs down the order, just play good shots, nice to open the batting...yeah just bat as much as I can. My role is to knock it around (talks about his role was to knock it around and leave the heavy-lifting to Hope and Gurbaz). I suggested I should open the batting (to captain) because I felt like it was best for the team and everywhere I go Guyanese people say I should open the batting

It was a great toss to win, as the dew became a huge issue in the second innings. Barbados Royals' bowling attack was no match to Amazon Warriors. They had hardly any genuine wicket-taking options and couldn't make any inroads with a lackluster and depleted spin attack . A total of 148 didn't look enough, given their bowling resources, and they failed to show up with bat or ball in this all-important Qualifier. Meanwhile, Warriors delivered an emphatically professional performance on the big stage, remaining unblemished in all departments of the game. They boasted a lot of star quality in their lineup, and having Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Moeen Ali at the top made life easier for them. Simmonds was the rare brightspot for Royals who bowled with nice control and took the wicket of Hope with a toe-crusher of a yorker, but no one else looked threatening; they appeared off from the word go, never really confident after putting up a paltry score. Rovman Powell looked bogged down and nothing really worked for him and problems compounded for him as he didn't have the quality resources to make a game of it. Warriors couldn't have asked for a better show and will head to the final with their confidence sky-high. Even without Shamar, they performed fantastically with their spin trio and two pacers

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Shai Hope broke the back of the chase with their swashbuckling style of play, stamping their authority in the powerplay and making life easier for Moeen Ali, who played his role perfectly. GAW got off to a flier with 72 runs in the first six overs and weren't challenged at all in their chase. Everything seems to be falling in place for reigning champions at the right time. We look forward to your company for the high-octane final on Sunday between Amazon Warriors and St Lucia Kings. For now, goodbye and goodnight from Rvel Zahid!

Simmonds to Ali, 1 run, There you go! Amazon Warriors have won it at a canter! Little bit short on the pads, flicked towards square leg and calmly jogs to the other end

Simmonds to Hetmyer, 1 run, Length ball angled in at middle and off, chomps it down the ground and through the line, falls away from Holder somewhere around long-off. Scores are level

Simmonds to Hope, OUT, Sounds the death rattle with a pinpoint accurate yorker at middle and off, Hope jams the bat down and plays down the wrong line, got to applaud the youngster for his set of skills, exemplary execution of a yorker; Hope will feel uneasy after not hitting the winning shot, just two runs away from a massive win

END OF OVER:
