Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 53258, member: 636"] Rangpur Riders captain Nurul Hasan Sohan attributed his team's tournament defeat to early batting failures against Guyana Amazon Warriors. The defending champions suffered a 32-run loss during Saturday's Global Super League final at Providence Stadium. Sohan's squad collapsed during the opening six overs while chasing 197 runs. The top three batsmen managed only 32 runs before departing. The Warriors established a tournament record total of 196 runs. Sohan acknowledged his bowlers failed to restrict the opposition during the initial ten overs. Johnson Charles and Rahmanullah Gurbaz combined for 121 runs to anchor the Warriors' innings. The captain praised his opponents' batting performance despite the disappointing result. Riders entered the final undefeated after winning three league matches. The team had previously defeated these same Warriors by eight runs during group competition. [/QUOTE]
