The reigning champions, Guyana Amazon Warriors, who narrowly escaped defeat in their opening match of the 2024 Caribbean Premier League (CPL), made a bold statement on Wednesday, September 4, by posting the second-highest team total in the tournament’s history against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, thanks to a powerful knock from Shimron Hetmyer. 

Leading the charge for the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Shimron Hetmyer and Rahmanullah Gurbaz powered the team to a whopping 266 runs in their 20 overs on a batting-friendly surface in Basseterre, St Kitts. 

Guyana Amazon Warriors overtook the Jamaica Tallawahs’ former second-highest CPL total of 255. Yet, it was Shimron Hetmyer who stole the spotlight, crafting a historic 91 off 39 balls, hitting 11 sixes without any fours, in Basseterre on Wednesday night.

Also, this marks the first time in T20 cricket history that a batter has struck more than 10 sixes in an innings without hitting a single four. Riki Wessels previously held the record for the most sixes without a boundary in T20 cricket, with nine maximums during a 2019 T20 Blast game for Nottinghamshire.
