The Barbados Royals secured a spot in the semi-finals of the SKYEXCH 6IXTY on Saturday with a two-wicket win over the Guyana Amazon Warriors at Warner Park in St. Kitts.
The Royals won the toss and elected to field first and that decision looked genius after they restricted the Amazon Warriors to 36-3 in the fourth over.
The Amazon Warriors overcame that slow start, however, to post 108 all out off their 10 overs thanks to a crucial 32 off 18 balls including two fours and two sixes from skipper Shimron Hetmyer.
South African Heinrich Klaasen also provided good support with 24 against a commendable 2-9 off two overs from left-arm pacer Ramon Simmonds.
In the chase, captain Kyle Mayers smashed 30 from 16 balls including four sixes while his opening partner Rakheem Cornwall smashed an eight-ball 21 including two fours and two sixes to set the tone for the Royals.
All-rounder Corbin Bosch then continued his good form with the bat with 26 not out to lead a successful chase with the Royals finishing 111-4 off 8.2 overs.
Veerasammy Permaul was excellent with the ball for the Amazon Warriors with 2-12 from his two overs.
