Tahir’s Four-Wicket Masterclass Powers Amazon Warriors to Top of GSL Table

Tahir’s Four-Wicket Masterclass Powers Amazon Warriors to Top of GSL Table

A vintage spell from Imran Tahir dismantled the Dubai Capitals as Guyana Amazon Warriors secured a dominant 57-run win in the Global Super League (GSL) clash on Saturday. The victory took the Amazon Warriors to the top of the points table in emphatic fashion, as they defended a modest total of 138 with remarkable ease.

Tahir, 46, showcased his enduring class with a game-changing spell of 4 for 12 in 3.4 overs, wiping out the Capitals’ lower order and sealing the win with over four overs to spare.

Moeen, Rutherford Anchor Amazon Warriors’ Innings

After being put in to bat, the Amazon Warriors overcame early setbacks to post 138 for 7. Moeen Ali played the anchor with a well-crafted 40 off 38 balls, while Sherfane Rutherford (33 off 23) injected energy into the innings during the middle overs. The pair rescued the innings from a precarious 27 for 3 inside the powerplay, stitching together a crucial stand that shifted momentum back in the hosts' favor.

Romario Shepherd contributed with a brisk 15* off nine balls at the death, ensuring the Warriors crossed the 130-run mark. For the Capitals, left-arm seamer Kaleem Sana was the standout, claiming 4 for 31, including three key wickets in the final overs.

Capitals Crumble in the Chase

Chasing 139, Dubai Capitals never looked settled. Their innings got off to a shaky start with both openers dismissed cheaply. Romario Shepherd and Dwaine Pretorius stifled the top order early, with Shepherd picking up two wickets in a decisive fifth over.

Once Tahir was introduced, the collapse accelerated. He struck four times in quick succession, including the key scalps of Niroshan Dickwella (26) and Sediqullah Atal (18), who were the only batters to reach double figures. A fleeting 27-run blitz between the pair offered brief resistance, but once they fell, the Capitals slid from 36 for 1 to 66 for 8, eventually folding for 81 in just 15.4 overs.

Statement Win for Warriors

The result not only secured two vital points for Guyana Amazon Warriors but also underscored their bowling depth and tactical discipline. With veterans like Tahir leading from the front and contributions throughout the lineup, the team looks well-poised for a strong finish to the tournament.

Scorecard Summary:
Guyana Amazon Warriors: 138/7 in 20 overs (Moeen 40, Rutherford 33, Sana 4-31)
Dubai Capitals: 81 all out in 15.4 overs (Dickwella 26, Tahir 4-12, Shepherd 2-19)
Result: Guyana Amazon Warriors won by 57 runs
Player of the Match: Imran Tahir
