Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, TKR’s bowlers immediately applied pressure on the Warriors’ top order. Akeal Hosein was the standout performer, delivering a masterclass in control and guile with figures of 3/27, breaking partnerships and never allowing the batters to settle. He was well supported by Terrance Hinds, who bowled with great discipline, while Andre Russell and Mohammad Amir kept things tight through the middle overs. The collective effort ensured that GAW were restricted to 163/9 in their 20 overs, a total that reflected TKR’s dominance with the ball rather than the batting intent of the opposition.
