TEAMS PREVIEW

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

Imran Tahir and his men are through to the next round. It was a big win for the team in the last game as they defeated the Barbados Royals by 47 runs. They face a tough challenge in the upcoming game against the Saint Lucia Kings. Tahir would like his players to deliver a strong show in this match and build momentum ahead of the playoffs.  

Azam Khan did well in the last game, and the team needs him to set up a big partnership with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. In the last game, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer set up a match-winning partnership. They will look to do well in the middle order with Moeen Ali. Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, and Keemo Paul add to the team's batting strength. 

The team will look for a good start with the new ball from Gudakesh Motie and Moeen Ali, who shared 5 wickets in the last game. Junior Sinclair will look to improve his form and deliver a good show in the middle overs with Dwaine Pretorius. Tahir and Romario Shepherd have experience and add strength to this bowling attack.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Imran Tahir (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Azam Khan, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Moeen Ali, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Junior Sinclair

Saint Lucia Kings Preview

Faf du Plessis' team is running on high steam. They have won the last five games and demolished the Trinbago Knight Riders in the last game by 80 runs. They have previously struggled against the Guyana Amazon Warriors, and du Plessis would look to lead from the front and turn the tables on the Warriors. 

Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis set up a 145-run stand in the last game, and the team expects a similar show. Tim Seifert will look to do well in the middle order with David Wiese and Roston Chase. Aaron Jones and Sadrack Descarte will have to do well in the lower middle order, as the Amazon Warriors have a strong bowling attack. 

The team will need a good show with the new ball from Alzarri Joseph and Khary Pierre, as their opponents will come hard at them. Noor Ahmed is the leading wicket-taker and has a crucial role in the middle overs with Roston Chase. The team needs a good performance from Sadrack Descarte and David Wiese, as they haven't been consistent.

Saint Lucia Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Faf du Plessis (c), Johnson Charles, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim Seifert (wk), David Wiese, Aaron Jones, Sadrack Descarte, Alzarri Joseph, Khary Pierre, Noor Ahmad

Saint Lucia Kings Actual Playing XI:

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We have predictions for slightly overcast skies over Guyana. The ball would move off the surface, and batsmen must choose their strokes carefully on this track. The average first-innings score here is 135 runs, and the team batting first will be happy with 170 runs.

GAW vs SLK Pitch Report

Providence Stadium, Guyana, is one of the best T20 pitches in the Caribbean islands. It is good for the bowlers and batters. On this surface, fast bowlers can generate pace and swing the ball. The shorter boundaries make it easy for the batsmen. Spinners also do well in the second half of the game.

Toss: To Bat

In the five games played at this venue this season, the side batting first has defended the score successfully. The wicket is breaking and turning slower in the second innings. The two teams would look at these results and prefer batting first on winning the toss.
