Scot Kuggeleijn, Roston Chase, Zahir Khan and Mark Deyal picked up two wickets each while Mohammad Nabi and Javelle Glenn bagged one apiece. In response, St Lucia Zouks went berserk over the Warriors and finished the game inside five overs. Darren Sammy's team chased down the target within just 4.3 overs without losing a single wicket.
Rahkeem Cornwall smashed a 13-ball 32 with two fours and three sixes while Mark Deyal scored 19 off just 10 balls with three fours and one six. Deyal was named the 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant all-round performance. But arguably, the moment of the match, came after the chase when Cornwall was busy giving the post-match interview. The bulky all-rounder was in the middle of the interview when an ecstatic Darren Sammy came from behind and screamed in joy in Cornwall's ears. Cornwall, however, maintained his calm and kept going on with the interview.
