Overview
- Tahir produced figures of 5/17 for Guyana Amazon Warriors against Saint Lucia Kings at Providence, a performance that multiple match reports confirm made him the oldest man to claim a five‑wicket haul in men's T20 cricket.
- He removed Kamil Pooran and captain Roston Chase early, then bowled McKenny Clarke and Matthew Forde before trapping Joshua Bishop lbw to complete the five‑for and take the final catch that ended the Kings on 119.
- Guyana chased 120 successfully, reaching 122/6 in 18.3 overs with Quentin Sampson finishing an unbeaten 37 off 11 balls to seal a four‑wicket win and lift the Warriors toward the top of the CPL table.
- The 5/17 is Tahir’s career‑best in T20s and his sixth five‑wicket haul in the format, leaving him with multiple entries among the oldest five‑fors on the all‑time list and placing him within reach of 600 career T20 wickets.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz supported Tahir with an impressive 3/13 on his CPL debut, and Tahir said post‑match that family motivation and consistent length and control in Providence helped produce the spell.
