THE Guyana Amazon Warriors lost their opening match on home soil to the Jamaica in the penultimate over according to middle-order batsman Jason Mohammed.

Mohammed, who was at the crease when the Warriors required seven runs from six balls, spoke candidly last evening about his side’s loss.
“I think it went wrong in the second to last over only getting five runs. I think that was a crucial point and the last over. We did not start off the over well and then losing the wicket sent everything downhill.”
He added, “I think we batted well, the wicket was a difficult one to score quickly on; we saw that when both teams batted. I think we chased well but the second-to-last over is where we suffered..
Overconfidence never stepped in according to the Trinidadian, who added, “No, I wouldn’t say that, as I said before, it was a good run chase and just the last over, especially the second to last over. It was very disappointing that we couldn’t get over the line.
He pinpointed slowness and lowness of the pitch, saying that the unit expected more of out of the centre of the Guyana National Stadium.
Looking to the future and the side’s chances of getting into the playoffs, the batsman acknowledged that the task is a daunting one but they must find a way to overcome the Trinbago Knight Riders today.
“We are going to have to come up with ways of combating them (Trinbago),” Mohammed said, adding that they have one day to do so.
