Saint Lucia Kings vs Guyana Amazon Warriors, CPLT20, Today Match Prediction 27 August 2025

SLK vs GAW Match Prediction & Analysis

Saint Lucia Kings will lock horns with Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, St Lucia. The Kings were bowled out for 100 runs in their previous encounter against the Warriors at this venue.

This year, they started their Saint Lucia leg of the CPL with a defeat against TKR while chasing 184 runs. With a solid opening duo followed by a big-hitter at number 4, Saint Lucia Kings have plenty of firepower in their lineup.

Guyana Amazon Warriors are coming into this game with back-to-back wins. Imran Tahir’s record-breaking 5-fer in the last match secured them an 83-run victory. Shai Hope has scored two consecutive fifties at number 3 for Guyana, and was joined by Shimron Hetmyer in the recent game, who delivered an impactful knock at 4.

Gudakesh Motie and Imran Tahir delivered match-winning spells in Guayna’s previous outing against Saint Lucia Kings on this ground. Will they continue troubling the hosts, or will Roston Chase and Tim David get the better of the visitors this time around?

TEAMS PREVIEW

Saint Lucia Kings Preview

David Wiese and co. fell short of an achievable target against Trinbago in their first home game of the season. Roston Chase and Tim David, who delivered a strong partnership in their previous game as the Kings scored 200 runs while batting first, failed to make an impact in the run chase.

Despite a strong start from Johnson Charles and Tim Seifert, the Kings found themselves behind in the run chase as they lost regular wickets. Chase and David were the biggest scalps for the Knight Riders that turned the game in their favour.

Though Wiese and Ackeem Augustee add depth to this batting order, the top 4 must deliver impactful knocks. The top of this lineup has plenty of experience, and at least one of them needs to stay at the crease longer to ensure the Kings are on track for a big finish.

In the run chase, Kings required 71 runs from 33 balls with 6 wickets in hand, and ended up losing the match by 18 runs. In their previous outing at Warner Park, they managed to score 22 runs off the last 19 deliveries after Chase and David were back in the hut.

This shows the importance of the top 4 in this batting order and the lack of a reliable finisher in the lower middle order. Roston Chase and Tabraiz Shamsi will hold the key to success with the ball. Spinners have found great help on this pitch, and these two, along with left-arm orthodox Khary Pierre, will be crucial for the hosts in this match.

Saint Lucia Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Johnson Charles, Tim Seifert (wk), Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim David, Delano Potgieter, David Wiese (c), Keon Gaston, Khary Pierre, Tabraiz Shamsi, Oshane Thomas

Saint Lucia Kings Actual Playing XI:

Tim David, Aaron Jones, David Wiese, Keon Gaston, Roston Chase, Johnson Charles, Tim Seifert, Tabraiz Shamsi, Khary Pierre, Ackeem Auguste, Oshane Thomas

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

The bowlers have delivered a match-winning performance in back-to-back matches for the Warriors. Both Tahir and Motie have looked in great touch so far, and will be crucial in getting through the lower middle order of the Kings.

Imran Tahir bowled a maiden over in both matches. As far as the top-order wickets are concerned, Dwaine Pretorius and Romario Shepherd will be the ones to watch out for. The former has picked up 3 wickets in the power play so far. Skipper Tahir will back Pretorius and Shepherd to get the early wickets of Seifert and Charles.

While opening batsman Kevlon Anderson is yet to find his rhythm, Ben McDermott has already made a splash with a big knock in the first game. Hetmyer’s unbeaten 65 off 26, along with Shepherd’s 25 off 8 balls at number 5, propelled the Warriors to 211 for 3 in the last match.

Shai Hope was dismissed in the 18th over after scoring 82 off 54 balls. Hetmyer and Shepherd added another 41 runs to the total in the last 12 balls. This is the big difference between the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Kings.

The Warriors have reliable match-finishers in the middle and lower middle order, who can step up and score plenty in the death overs. Like the hosts, Guyana also have plenty of all-rounders in their squad.

Following Shepherd at number 5, there is a line of big-hitting T20 players such as Moeen Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Dwaine Pretorius in the batting order. The Warriors look better suited for a run chase on this ground and will have the upper hand going into this match.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Ben McDermott, Kevlon Anderson, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Moeen Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Imran Tahir (c)

Guyana Amazon Warriors Actual Playing XI:

Shimron Hetmyer, Kelvon Anderson, Moeen Ali, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Shai Hope, Imran Tahir, Jediah Blades, Ben McDermott, Iftikhar Ahmed

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There will be cloudy skies in Gros Islet, St Lucia, with a high of 27 degrees Celsius around the match time. Though the last game here was abandoned without a toss due to rain, we expect to have a complete and uninterrupted T20 match between the Kings and Warriors.

SLK vs GAW Pitch Report

It has been a batting-friendly wicket in the past at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground, where teams have scored big totals in both innings of a T20 game. However, we saw some impressive bowling performances in a couple of CPL and T20 international matches. Bowlers, particularly spinners, are likely to find some help from the surface. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 matches here is 157 runs. The team that is put to bat first here must aim for 170 runs or more to be in a competitive position in the match. Only twice in the last 10 games has a team successfully defended a total below 170 runs at this venue.

Toss: To Bowl

Though the Kings failed to chase a total in the last match here, we reckon both captains will prefer to bowl first on this ground. Teams bowling first won 7 of the last 10 matches played at this venue. 170+ totals were chased down successfully twice in the previous season of CPL, while in a T20 international, West Indies chased down 219 runs against England.
