With the feat, Guyana Amazon Warriors stormed the final to be played on October 12.

The Warriors batted first and posted a big total of 218 runs with the help of Jamaican batsman Brandon King, who smashed 132 off 72 with 10 fours and 11 sixes. Besides, Shoaib Malik, the captain of the Warriors, hit 32 off 19 to guide his team to a challenging total.
For the Tridents, Hayden Walsh bagged two wickets while captain Jason Holder took one.
