The inaugural edition of the ExxonMobil Global Super League (GSL) got underway with the home team, the Guyana Amazon Warriors, cantering to a six-wicket win over the Lahore Qalandars at the Providence National Stadium, East Bank Demerara, in front of a sparse crowd.

Imran Tahir, returning as Warriors’ skipper, set the tone for the evening by winning the toss and sending the opposition in.

The Qalandars batting faltered in the face of some disciplined bowling from the Warriors and were bowled out for just 125 in 19.2 overs.
