Their bowlers struggled in the first qualifier as Royals posted a mammoth score of 195 runs on the board. The batters then faltered in the chase with Shimron Hetmyer top-scoring with 37 as they were bundled out on 108, losing the game by 87 runs. The Warriors will be eager to bounce back and seal a berth in the final.
Jamaica Tallawahs, on the other hand, beat the Saint Lucia Kings convincingly in the Eliminator to stay alive in the CPL 2022. It was a low-scoring affair and the Tallawahs held their nerves to finish on the winning side.
After being asked to bat first, contributions from Shamarh Brooks (47) and Mohammad Nabi (31*) helped them post 148 on the board. The bowlers bowled brilliantly and knocked over the Kings on 115 to win the game by 33 runs.
Nabi and Fabian Allen picked up three wickets apiece to complete a convincing win. They will be hoping to carry forward their winning momentum in the second qualifier.
