At the age of 46, South African spinner Imran Tahir did a splendid job in the final match by taking a couple of wickets, and as the captain of the team, he guided the Warriors to clinch the championship. 

From the beginning of the tournament, Riders was one of the favorites to win the championship. Fulfilling the expectations, they reached the title decider stage. There they found the toughest hurdle of the tournament. To defeat Rangpur Riders, Warriors produced the highest total of the 2025 season of the title race, which was 196 for 4. Riders could only manage to get 164 on the scoreboard in reply.

 In front of their cheerful home crowd, the Guyana Amazon Warriors lift off the trophy at Providence Stadium on Friday night. Apart from the main trophy, there were a few other awards as well to credit some individual performances. Like the man of the match award.

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 8th match of the 2025 Global Super League (GSL), Rangpur Riders played Dubai Capitals at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Rangpur Riders won the toss and decided to bat first. Rangpur sustained their nerves with both bat and ball to register a nail-biting 8-run win and move on to their unbeaten streak in the tournament.

Rangpur Riders Innings

Choosing to bat first, Rangpur scored a respectable total of 158/5 in their 20 overs. Iftikhar Ahmed was the rock at the crease, with 41 of 32 deliveries played with controlled stroke play. Soumya Sarkar gave valuable top-order support with 36 from 28 deliveries. Nurul Hasan, the skipper and wicketkeeper, played an aggressive cameo of 34 from just 18 balls to lift the total towards the end. Despite some tidy spells from Dubai’s bowlers—particularly Shakib Al Hasan (1/16 in 4 overs) and Qais Ahmad (1/28)—Rangpur found boundaries at key moments. Rohan Mustafa picked up a wicket in his solitary over, but the bowlers couldn’t stop Rangpur from reaching a competitive total.

Dubai Capitals Innings

Chasing 159, Dubai Capitals got a stable start with Sediqullah Atal top-scoring with 38 off 31 balls. Sanjay Krishnamurthy chipped in with a useful 27 off 22, while Dominic Drakes added late fireworks with 22 from 16 balls. However, consistent strikes from Rangpur’s bowlers kept the pressure on. Saif Hassan was the standout performer with the ball, grabbing 3/20 in 3 overs, while Khaled Ahmed (2/14) and Rakibul Hasan (1/16) supported brilliantly. Dubai lost their final wicket in the 20th over, bowled out for 150 in 19.2 overs—just 8 runs short.

Rangpur Riders are still undefeated in the tournament after this victory, moving to the top of the GSL 2025 points table; they look in a strong position to defend their title.
