Guyana Amazon Warriors walked into the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 final on the back of a 14-run victory over Saint Lucia Kings in Qualifier 1 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. The game will be remembered for a piece of magic by Gudakesh Motie, whose twin wickets of Roston Chase and Tim David turned the game in the Warriors' direction. Choosing to bat first on a surface that favors spinners, the Warriors accumulated 157 before they were bowled out in the last over. Australian batsman Ben McDermott held the innings together with a vital 34 off 27 deliveries, keeping the scoreboard moving despite constant breakthroughs from the Kings. Left-hand wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi was the bowlers' choice for Saint Lucia Kings, taking 3 for 33. His changes made it hard to score in the middle overs, while seamers contributed to not letting the Warriors reach past the 170-mark. Nevertheless, the total was proved to be competitive considering the nature of the Providence pitch. The Kings' response was shaky from the beginning and it was Motie who put the finishing touches in the seventh over. On the fourth ball of his over, Chase, who has a reputation for his composure against spin, tried a bold swipe to a faster delivery. The ball slipped through, deflected the bat, and rammed into the leg stump. Only one ball after, David succumbed to Motie's intelligence in drifting the ball and accuracy. Shaping to hit a drive, the big hitter was totally upset as the ball straightened and crashed into his off stump.

His aggressive batting kept the Kings in the game and provided them with a hope of chasing down the score. But the absence of contribution from middle and lower order made his endeavors futile. The Kings ultimately folded for 143 in 19.1 overs, short by 14 runs of the mark.
