Hetmyer Shatters Records in Rain-Affected Thriller | Jamaica News

Shimron Hetmyer unleashed a record-breaking blitz in the CPL, smashing 111 off just 43 balls to tie the fastest century mark in the league — all while helping Guyana Amazon Warriors stay undefeated with a nail-biting nine-run DLS win over Trinbago Knight Riders. After a brutal early spell that saw Knight Riders remove two key Warriors wickets for 19, rain halted play — only to reignite Hetmyer’s explosive form in his 100th CPL match. He raced to his half-century swiftly, then tore through one bowler for 30 runs in a single over, backed by Romario Shepherd’s late surge. Together, they piled on 85 in the final four overs to post 185/5. Knight Riders needed 182, but lost their openers early and couldn’t keep pace — Nicholas Pooran (43) and Alex Hales (55, seven sixes) fought valiantly, but wickets kept falling as the run rate climbed. Shepherd sealed it with a flawless 24-run final over, preserving the Warriors’ perfect record. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
