TEAMS PREVIEW

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

Shimron Hetmyer's team has shown excellent form leading into this game. They defeated the Barbados Royals in the last match by 5 wickets in a one-sided contest. The bowling attack has done well in the previous few games, making the side confident. As they play the same opponent, Hetmyer shall aim for a win and take his side to the tournament's final.  

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is doing well at the top, but the side would need a good show from Chandrapaul Hemraj, who hasn't been consistent with his form. The middle order has good players with Shai Hope, Shakib al Hasan, and Hetmyer, and they will look to add quick runs. The side would also expect good hitting from Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, and Odean Smith down the order.  

Shepherd and Keemo Paul bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the pair shall look to do the same in this contest. Shakib is an experienced bowler, and he adds teeth to this bowling attack. The side would also like to see good spells from Imran Tahir, Gudakesh Motie, and Odean Smith in this vital contest.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Shimron Hetmyer (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shai Hope, Shakib Al Hasan, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Keemo Paul, Gudakesh Motie, Junior Sinclair, Imran Tahir

Barbados Royals Preview

Kyle Mayers leads the side after David Miller pulled out owing to national duty. The defending champions have topped the points table but have shown signs of weakness in the last couple of games. Their batters struggled in the previous game against the Warriors. Mayers shall hope for an upbeat show from his players in this big game.  

Kyle Mayers and Rahkeem Cornwall must do well opening the batting as the middle order looks unsettled at the moment with Miller and Quinton de Kock's departure. Azam Khan, Harry Tector, and Jason Holder will have important roles in the middle order. Devon Thomas and Najibullah Zadran must play the big shots down the order.   

Kyle Mayers and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have been in good form, and the side would need them to strike early in this game. Jason Holder has to use his experience and do well in the middle overs with Obed McCoy and Ramon Simmonds. Joshua Bishop will need to deliver the goods in the supporting role. 

Barbados Royals Predicted Playing XI:

Kyle Mayers (c), Rahkeem Cornwall, Kyle Mayers (c), Najibullah Zadran, Harry Tector, Azam Khan, Jason Holder, Devon Thomas (wk), Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Joshua Bishop, Obed McCoy, Ramon Simmonds
