85 — Guyana Amazon Warriors defend lowest total ever in a T20 final
Guyana Amazon Warriors defended 85 to win their second consecutive Global Super League title, the lowest total ever successfully defended in a T20 final.
Guyana Amazon Warriors defended 85 and won back-to-back Global Super League titles. It's the lowest first-innings total ever successfully defended in a T20 final.
They chose to bat first and collapsed, then their bowlers kept the opposition in check. The Warriors took wickets regularly, broke any partnerships before they grew, and never let the run rate climb.
No team had won a T20 final with fewer than 100 on the board until now.
CricHubb Take
The win puts a number on something coaches already suspected: in knockout T20, a total you can actually defend might be worth more than one that looks impressive on paper.
