GROS ISLET, St Lucia, CMC – Rain completed its demolition of the Caribbean Premier League doubleheader at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground here Saturday when it also forced the abandonment of the second game between St Lucia Kings and Guyana Amazon Warriors.
With the 7 p.m. start delayed by two-and-a-half hours, the game was initially reduced to 10 overs per side, but more rain after the first over resulted in a further reduction to five overs per side.
Sent in, Amazon Warriors rattled up 56 for two with opener Saim Ayub lashing an unbeaten 24 off 16 deliveries with three fours and a six and Azam Khan scoring an 11-ball 21, including a four and a brace of sixes.
The pair put on 42 for the second wicket after left-handed opener Chandrapaul Hemraj perished in the third over for four, picking out Roston Chase at long-on with seamer Chris Sole.
However, with Kings set a revised target of 59, the rains returned before Kings could start their run chase, bringing a disappointing end to the game.
Earlier, only three overs were possible in the 10 a.m. game between Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots before rain also intervened.
