Barbados Royals vs Guyana Amazon Warriors, CPLT20, Today Match Prediction

BR vs GAW Match Prediction & Analysis

The CPL 2025 is in its final group stage games. The bottom-placed Barbados Royals will play the fifth-placed Guyana Amazon Warriors at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, on 5th September from 4:30 am onwards. The Barbados Royals have secured one point from four games and have yet to win this season. On the other hand, Guyana Amazon Warriors have four points with two wins in four games.

Barbados Royals’ struggles in CPL 2025 continued as they slipped to their third defeat in four games, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table. Despite posting 178 for 6, thanks to a late surge from Sherfane Rutherford, who smashed 45 off 22 balls, and Rovman Powell’s explosive 23-run assault in the 18th over, their total proved inadequate. In reply, their bowlers couldn’t contain the Trinbago Knight Riders. Even though the Royals briefly slowed the scoring between overs 10 and 14, the momentum remained with TKR, who wrapped up victory with 13 balls to spare. 

Guyana Amazon Warriors’ poor form continued as they suffered their second loss of CPL 2025, going down meekly to the Trinbago Knight Riders. Their batting faltered after losing three wickets inside the powerplay, leaving them reeling at 37 for 3. Shai Hope tried to steady things with a fighting 39 off 29 balls. At 109 for 7, the Warriors looked set for a below-par total before Quentin Sampson’s late cameo of three sixes and Dwaine Pretorius’ 21 helped them limp to 163. Imran Tahir’s superb spell of 4 for 24, including a triple-wicket over, gave them brief hope, but without support from the other bowlers, it was never enough. Their missed run-out chance right after Tahir’s heroics summed up the night, as TKR cruised home with 16 balls to spare.

Both teams faced each other in the qualifiers of the previous season. Batting first, the Royals were bowled out to 148 after David Miller scored 36 off 26 in the middle. Rovman Powell took three wickets for the Warriors. A 93-run partnership between Shai Hope (56) and Moeen Ali (44) helped the Warriors win the game by 8 wickets in the 15th over of the game. The Royals will be looking forward to this game to avenge the defeat from last season.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

Guyana Amazon Warriors remain stuck in mid-table with only four points, needing both consistency and sharper execution to stay in the playoff hunt. Ben McDermott will open the innings with Kevlon Anderson. McDermott has 127 runs in 4 games at a strike rate of 167.

In four innings, he has scored 117 runs at a strike rate of 205. He has also picked up three wickets with the ball. Iftikar Ahmed should be picked up over Hassan Khan.
