In every match of the Caribbean Premier League, one or the other player is single-handedly taking the team to victory. The tournament has also seen some great matches so far. Not only is there high scoring and a rain of fours and sixes, but even low-scoring matches are proving to be exciting. One such match was seen late on Friday night, where the 37-year-old all-rounder, with his frugal bowling like Test cricket in a T20 match, helped the team win by 30 runs even on a score of just 137 runs. This feat was achieved by former England all-rounder Moeen Ali, whose bowling and Shimron Hetmyer's explosive innings helped Guyana Amazon Warriors register a great win.

Hetmyer's attacking innings

In this 21st match of CPL played in Providence, Guyana faced St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots. This was Guyana's first match on its home ground this season and the team did not disappoint its fans. Guyana batted first but had a bad start. Both the openers were out for just 2 runs in the first over, while by the fourth over the score was 28 runs for 3 wickets.

From here, Shimron Hetmyer played an explosive innings, which included 5 excellent sixes and 4 fours. While the rest of the batsmen were struggling, Hetmyer scored 63 runs in just 33 balls. Apart from him, Romario Shepherd scored an unbeaten 34 runs in just 22 balls in the lower order. From St. Kitts, Ashmead Ned conceded just 25 runs in 4 overs and took 4 wickets including both the openers.

Moeen's miserly bowling

It was not easy to defend this small target but Guyana's bowlers did it and spin-allrounder Moeen Ali played an important role in this. Former England cricketer Moeen showed his off-spin and kept the St. Kitts batsmen in check. He showed Test cricket-like economy in his 4-over spell and took 2 important wickets of the top order by giving away just 9 runs. Apart from him, fast bowler Shamar Joseph took 3 wickets by giving away 9 runs in 2.3 overs. The entire St. Kitts team collapsed for just 107 runs and Guyana won the match by 30 runs.

was forced to retire

Moeen, who was the star of Guyana's victory, was forced to retire a few days ago. Moeen announced his retirement from international cricket 12 days ago, on 8 September. He was recently a part of the England team in the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup before that. Announcing his retirement, he said that England Men's Cricket Team Director Rob Key and the team management had talked to him and told him that they were thinking about his future, so he decided to retire so that there could be space for new players in the team.
