Veteran Players Shine in T20 Leagues

As many athletes retire from international cricket as they age, some continue to shine in franchise T20 leagues. Former Indian captain MS Dhoni, at 43, has been a notable presence in IPL 2025, showcasing his skills on the field.

However, another player, who has played alongside Dhoni and is even older, is still making waves in the cricketing world. Leg-spinner Imran Tahir, now 46, is baffling batsmen and leading his team to victories.

Match Highlights: Warriors vs. Central District

In the fourth match of the Global Super League held in Providence, West Indies, the Guyana Amazon Warriors faced off against the Central District. The Warriors batted first, scoring 158 runs while losing six wickets in their 20 overs. Although this total wasn't particularly high, the Warriors' bowlers made it nearly impossible for the Central District to chase it down, with standout performances from South African bowlers Imran Tahir and Dwaine Pretorius.

Tahir's Exceptional Bowling Performance

Imran Tahir, who retired from international cricket a few years ago, continues to wreak havoc in franchise cricket. In this match, he delivered an outstanding performance, conceding just 23 runs in his four-over spell while taking four wickets.

His remarkable bowling led to the Central District being bowled out for a mere 92 runs, unable to complete even 15 overs. Consequently, the Warriors secured a convincing victory by 66 runs, with Pretorius also contributing by taking three wickets for just 18 runs.
