• Man of the tournament: Imran Tahir 

History has been created in the second edition of the Global Super League (GSL) 2025. For the first time ever, the cricketing world got to witness a new title champion. The Guyana Amazon Warriors, under their veteran leader Imran Tahir, defied all odds and marched to their maiden GSL title win. The Warrior Nation was up against the defending champions, Rangpur Riders, who looked all set for a second consecutive title win. 

But Tahir and his men outplayed the Bangladesh-based franchise and ruined their party in an epic final clash, beating them comprehensively by 32 runs. Playing at the Providence, the Warriors' home ground, the crowd rallied behind Tahir & Co. and backed them all the way through to bring the trophy home. Rahmanullah Gurbaz's electrifying 66 (38) powered the Guyana Amazon Warriors to an imposing 196-4. 

The Rangpur Riders did not start their run chase on an auspicious note, losing their top three well inside the powerplay. Although Saif Hassan and Iftikhar Ahmed joined hands to forge a fighting 73-run stand, the Guyana bowlers were eventually able to overcome them and dismiss Rangpur Riders for 164. This win also marked the Warriors' first victory against the Riders in the short-lived history of GSL.

The South African spin-bowling pro, Imran Tahir, has been a revelation for the Guyana-based CPL franchise. He previously led the Warrior Nation to their maiden CPL win in 2023. Then in 2024, his men came agonizingly close to securing two back-to-back title wins on the bounce but narrowly missed out in the final. Guyana Amazon Warriors' latest title win in the GSL certainly puts the icing on top of the cake. Tahir enjoys a glorious record as a Warriors' skipper, and his side's most recent triumph in the GSL final further demonstrates his tactical brilliance. 

Even at age 46, Tahir continues to strive hard, be it as a bowler or as a captain. He rounded up the GSL 2025 season as the highest wicket-taker, claiming 14 wickets at a stunning average of 9.28. At a time when players do not think of exploring any forms of cricket after the age of 40, Tahir ages like a fine wine and continues to push on to bring his side endless success. 

In the grand finale of the 2025 Global Super League (GSL), the Guyana Amazon Warriors faced off against the Rangpur Riders at the Providence Stadium, the Amazon Warriors won the toss and decided to bat first. The Warriors produced a dominant all-around performance to defeat the Rangpur Riders by 32 runs and claim the GSL 2025 title.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Innings

Batting first in the high-pressure final, Guyana Amazon Warriors posted an imposing total of 196 for 4 in 20 overs. A brilliant performance from top-order contributions. Johnson Charles was in excellent form with the bat, scoring 67 off 48 balls with punchy and well-timed shots. His opening partner, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, matched his aggression with a powerful 66 off 38, putting pressure on the Rangpur bowlers. Romario Shepherd’s quickfire innings of 28* off 9 balls added to the total in the death overs. Although Iftikhar Ahmed (1/12) and Tabraiz Shamsi (1/28) took a couple of wickets, Rangpur’s bowling lacked consistency, which allowed Guyana to score freely and exceed 190 runs.

Rangpur Riders Innings 

While chasing a 197 run target, the Rangpur Riders fought hard but were bowled out for 164 within 19.5 overs. Iftikhar Ahmed, their captain, kept the chase alive with a valiant 46 off 29, while Saif Hassan scored 41 off 26 in a steady top-order partnership. Late innings cameos from Mahidul Islam Ankon, who scored 30 off 17, kept initial hopes alive; however, Guyana’s bowlers were relentless and continued to pick up wickets at crucial moments. Dwaine Pretorius was particularly impressive, taking 3 for 37 runs, while Gudakesh Motie (2/32) and Imran Tahir (2/39) applied the squeeze. Rangpur's batting collapsed in the last overs as they were bowled out with one ball remaining.

With this complete victory, the Guyana Amazon Warriors lifted the ExxonMobil GSL 2025 trophy, demonstrating power-packed batting and clinical bowling in a dominant final performance.

This season, the Rangpur Riders have done nothing but succeed. They have a formidable batting lineup, but they need to score consistently.

We anticipate a close game, but the Warriors will get an early lead thanks to a stronger hitting lineup. Considering the team combination, Guyana Amazon Warriors is expected to win this match.

As the race to the finals heats up, cricket fans are being treated to some thrilling and nail-biting encounters. The ongoing Global Super League has delivered high-intensity action, with every match carrying huge significance as teams battle for a spot in the title clash.

In one such tense match, Rangpur Riders were defending a modest total of 159 runs.

The missed opportunity did not go unnoticed, as fans reacted with sarcasm and criticism towards the all-rounder for the costly error.

Despite the dropped catch, Rangpur Riders held their nerves in the final overs. Their bowlers stepped up under pressure and ensured the team crossed the finish line. With this hard-fought win, Rangpur Riders secured a place in the final of the Global Super League 2025, keeping their championship hopes alive.

Iftikhar Ahmed’s Comedy of Errors:

The cricket world witnessed thrilling T20 heats as the Global Super Leagues are spreading unreal thrills. As the Rangpur Riders and the Dubai Capitals crossed swords in the eighth match of the clash, fans were treated to a nail-biter. Setting a target of 159, the Riders’ bowlers took charge and lit up the game with fiery spells to defend the total.

In the fourth over of the second innings, Pakistani all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed came to bowl, and Dickwella was on strike. After Iftikhar bowled the fourth delivery, the batter slogged it, but the ball soared high and went towards the bowler.

Among all, Iftikhar’s approach grabbed the attention. He theatrically gestured for the ball to come to him, only to fumble an easy catch. Even the commentators couldn’t resist a sarcastic dig, leaving fans in splits over the comical blunder. The moment has gone viral.

Rangpur Riders Head Towards the Big Final:

The Global Super League 2025 continues to thrill cricket fans, and the recent clash between Rangpur Riders and Dubai Capitals added more excitement to the tournament. With their latest win, the Riders extended their unbeaten run and delivered another impressive performance.

Batting first, Rangpur suffered an early blow as Ibrahim Zadran was dismissed for just 1 run. However, a steady 37-run stand between Soumya Sarkar and Kyle Mayers helped stabilize the innings. The Capitals' bowlers kept the pressure on, but a crucial 57-run partnership between Iftikhar Ahmed and Nurul Hasan gave the Riders a much-needed boost, helping them post 150 runs.

Defending the target, Rangpur's bowlers rose to the occasion. Saif Hassan and Khaled Ahmed delivered fiery spells that kept the Dubai Capitals in check. Despite some resistance, the Capitals fell short by 8 runs. With this hard-fought win, Rangpur Riders booked their spot in the finals, where they’ll meet the Guyana Amazon Warriors on July 18.

In Match 9 of the 2025 Global Super League (GSL), Guyana Amazon Warriors played against Hobart Hurricanes at the Providence stadium (Guyana). Hobart Hurricanes won the toss and elected to bat first. Hobart Hurricanes, despite some middle-order contributions, were bowled out for just 125 runs in 16.1 overs. Guyana Amazon Warriors chased down the target with 4 wickets left in 3 overs, taking 16.3 overs to do so, and with a convincing performance with bat and ball.

Hobart Hurricanes Innings:

After batting first, the Hobart Hurricanes lost a couple of early wickets and could not build good partnerships. Fabian Allen provided a spark with 28 off 20 balls, while Nikhil Chaudhary and Mohammad Nabi added 21 runs each in brief stays. The team couldn’t gain momentum as wickets kept falling in quick succession. Gudakesh Motie was outstanding with figures of 3/9 in just 3.1 overs, breaking the backbone of Hobart’s innings. Moeen Ali and Imran Tahir also provided good support, taking two wickets each. Finally, the Hurricanes were bowled out for a humble 125 in 16.1 overs.

Moeen Ali kept the innings together with a measured 30 off 36 balls. There were a few hiccups in the middle phase, but Gudakesh Motie found a useful 19 runs off 13 balls to finish off the chase. Billy Stanlake tried to rein things back in for Hobart with a fiery spell of 3/21 in 3.3 overs. Usama Mir contributed two wickets, but that was not enough to halt Guyana's juggernaut. The Warriors accumulated 128/6 in 16.3 overs to complete a 4-wicket victory and move to the top of the tournament table, with a superior net run rate. However, their opponents in Saturday’s final—defending champions Rangpur Riders—remain level on points with a game in hand.
