Preview

Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Jamaica Tallawahs will face each other in the 8th game of CPL 2020. These two teams have started off well and are in a decent position at this stage. After the 4-wicket loss to Trinbago Knight Riders in their opening game, the Guyana Amazon Warriors bounced back with a 3-wicket win against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Thus, they managed to climb up to the second position on the points table.

However, the progression of the Jamaica Tallawahs is slightly different. The team started off well with a win against the St Lucia Zouks. They managed to chase down 159 runs with ease in that game. But in the next match, they could only put up 135 runs on the board and lost to the Riders by 7 wickets. The team is placed fourth on the points table. Nevertheless, the Tallawahs lead by 11-7 on the head-to-head count and can take some confidence from this.
