TEAMS PREVIEW

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

Three wins in the last four games has helped Nicholas Pooran’s side place itself in a comfortable position on the points table. It was a good effort with the bat and the ball in the last game from the side against Jamaica Tallawahs. As they take on the same opponents here, Pooran shall want his side to draw inspiration from the win in the last game. 

Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj have missed out in the last few games and the side would look for runs from them. In Shimron Hetmyer, Shoaib Malik and Pooran the side has its middle order in great form as Pooran played a match-winning knock in the last game. They would also expect runs down the order from Odean Smith and Romario Shephard. 

Naveen-ul-Haq finally found his form in the last game, and he would look for early wickets in company of the experienced Imran Tahir in this game. Gudakesh Motie and Smith bowled well in the last game adding to the side’s confidence. The side would however want to see better lines in this game from Shephard and Malik who have leaked runs in recent games.

Jamaica Tallawahs Preview

Rovman Powell’s side hasn’t been consistent this season and this has led to their downfall. They went down against the Guyana Amazon Warriors by 46 runs in the last game owing to poor show with the bat. They take on the same side in a must-win game and the side shall have to register a big win to improve its run rate and make it through to the semifinals. 

The side would need a good show at the top from Kennar Lewis and Kirk McKenzie as both these players have failed to convert their starts into big scores so far. In the middle order the trio of Powell, Haider Ali and Shamarh Brooks need to set up good partnerships. They would like to see big hitting towards the end from Andre Russell, Imad Wasim and Carlos Brathwaite in this game. 

Imad Wasim and Migael Pretorius were expensive in the last game with the new ball and the side would like to see better efforts from them in this game. Chris Green did well in the last game and shall need to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. The side would need tight spells from Veerasammy Permaul and Braithwaite in this very important game.

Venue Details

Warner Park, St Kitts is a batting friendly surface and the fast outfield at this venue has allowed batsmen to score lots of runs in the season.  There isn’t much there on this surface for the fast bowlers and it is a challenge for them to bowl here. Spinners have enjoyed a good record as there is turn on offer.
