The Guyana Amazon Warriors continues to dominate the CPL 2019 after securing their 7^th consecutive win.

This magnificent victory took place on Wednesday 25^th September, 2019 at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet in St. Lucia as the Warriors faced off against the St. Lucia Zouks during Match #21. The Zouks won the toss and elected to bat scoring a total of 161/ 7 in 20 overs, however the Guyana Amazon Warriors winning by 8 wickets scored 162/2 in 18.2 overs.

The ‘Man of the Match’ title was awarded to West Indian first-class cricketer Brandon King whose unbeaten 81 helped secure this amazing win for the Warriors. According to INews Guyana, the Warriors are assured of a top-two finish and with it a place in the first qualifier for a place in the final, with the safety net of a second chance should they lose that one.

With the Warriors currently in position #1 and accounted for in the playoff, the big question cricket fans are asking right now is what is the current standing of the remaining CPL competing teams?
