Guyana Amazon Warriors have a very inconsistent batting line-up that is yet to make a big score. Shimron hetmyer scored fifties in first two amcthes and Nicholas Pooran scored a valiant fuifty in a tough chase. Ross Taylor, Brandon King, and Chanderpaul hemraj are yet to make a good score ith the bat this season and hope they will come good in this match.

The spin trio of Imran Tahir, Chris Green, and Ashmead Nedd have been their biggest X-factor this season with a combined tally of 15 wickets at an economy rate of less than 6 RPO.  Keemo Paul and Naveen Ul Haq are expected to fill teh pace bolwing slots in the tema as both of them are capable of using tehir variatiosn to good use.

Imran Tahir - Tahir has 9 wickets at an economy of 6 RPO this season in the 5 matches so far. He leads their spin attack in the middle overs with Chris green bowling in the powerplays.

Venue Details

Queen`s Park Oval pitch is slow in nature and the ball is not coming onto the bat nicely. Batmsen will find it hard to score but once they are set they can take advantage of the bowlers. We expect average scores aoround 150 runs in this match.

Chasing is the best option the batsmen can pace their inninngs accordingly. We can go out for a big score such as 180-200 runs in this pitch easily.
