Caribbean Premier League 2020: Match 26, Barbados Tridents vs Guyana Amazon Warriors – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 26th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2020 is all set to be played between the Barbados Tridents and the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Brian Lara Stadium.

The match is scheduled to start at 05:30 PM Local Time (03:00 AM IST, 04th Sept) (09:30 PM GMT).

Preview:

Entering the final leg of the league stage of the tournament, both the teams have had very contrasting journeys in the tournament so far. The Guyana Amazon Warriors, barring a few hiccups here and there, have had, what can be called a ‘dream run’ in the tournament. But, for the Barbados Tridents, things have not been smooth at all.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors, in their last match, crushed the St Lucia Zouks by a margin of 7 wickets. And, in their last match, the Barbados Tridents suffered a defeat against the same team they are playing against in this match, the Guyana Amazon Warriors. So, while the Guyana Amazon Warriors enter this match as the favorites, the Barbados Tridents would not mind putting all of their efforts in and pull off an upset.

Weather Report:

The weather on Thursday is expected to be a little adverse with a 30 per cent chance of rainfall and the temperature between the 27 to 29 degree Celsius mark.

Pitch Report:

The pitch is expected to be balanced, with the most amount of help coming in for the pacers among the bowlers. And, as observed in the last three matches of the tournament played here, scoring runs in the second innings would be a relatively difficult task for the batsmen.

Average first innings score: 150 (Last three matches played here in this tournament)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 1, Lost – 2, Tied – 0

Nicholas Pooran has been in terrific form with the bat in this tournament. He is placed at the third spot in the top run-scorers’ list of the tournament with 234 runs in 9 matches, including one century.

Imran Tahir with 12 wickets to his name in 9 matches is placed at the second spot in the wicket-takers’ list of the tournament. Tahir has been a little expensive while bowling, but he has very well compensated for it by taking wickets.
