WATCH VIDEO: Saim Ayub, Azam Khan light up Guyana Amazon Warriors with blazing batting

Rain was to prove the victor as Saint Lucia Kings and Guyana Amazon Warriors took a point apiece in the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

Inclement weather throughout the day suggested what play we did get would be in a shortened match and Faf Du Plessis having won the toss made the decision to bowl first to allow the Kings the chance to assess the conditions.

The match was persistently interrupted before eventually being reduced to a five over a side shoot out.

Saim Ayub and Azam Khan, the dynamic batters of Guyana Amazon Warriors, lit up the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) with their hitting during a clash against St Lucia Kings on Saturday.

The opening partnership of Chanderpaul Hemraj and Saim Ayub kickstarted the batting for Guyana Warriors, as the initial plan was for a 10-over-a-side match.

Regrettably, after just five deliveries into the innings, rain intervened once again, leading to a reduction in the match to a mere five overs for each team. Although Hemraj faced difficulties and couldn’t establish himself, Azam Khan entered the fray and teamed up with Saim Ayub to create fireworks with the bat.

This Pakistani duo made a significant impact, accumulating 18 and 19 runs respectively in the third and fourth overs.

There was to be further woe for the Kings after they accrued the slow over rate penalty for the final over but Jair McCallister bowled a brilliant death over on his CPL debut to ensure the Amazon Warriors were restricted to 56 from their five overs.

DLS readjusted the Saint Lucia target to 59 but the match was to see no further action as rain returned to call a permanent halt to proceedings.

The result meant both teams shared the spoils in a result that sent Saint Lucia to the top of the nascent CPL table.

Azam contributed 21 runs from just 11 deliveries, showcasing his prowess with two sixes and a four. On the other hand, Saim Ayub concluded the innings undefeated, amassing an impressive 24 runs from 16 balls, featuring three fours and a six.
