Preview:

The previous edition runners-up, Guyana Amazon Warriors kick started the 2019 Caribbean Premier League with back to back home wins. In their first match against St Lucia Zouks, they sneaked in a 13-run victory while defending their total of 155/9. The second match was a much better all-round performance. They restricted the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to 153/8 after winning the toss and electing to bowl.

After a 63-run opening partnership, Shimron Hetmyer closed the chase with a dominating batting performance. The left-hander scored an unbeaten 70 in only 47 deliveries with seven fours and three sixes. As a result, the home team completed the chase with seven balls and eight wickets to spare. They will now take on Barbados Tridents who will be in action for the first time in this CPL edition.

Weather Condition/Report:

Both the matches that the Providence Stadium hosted this edition were not interrupted by the rain. It is unlikely that this game will be affected by the rain. The 5 PM local time start would mean the game will be played between the timing of expected showers.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Slightly early start in Guyana would mean a slow track at the Providence Stadium. The Saturday’s match began at 8 PM local time and the dew made it easy for the chasing team. The first game of this edition here began at 6 PM only and a total of 155 was defended successfully.

Average first innings score: 155 (CPL matches since 2018)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 6, Lost – 3

Captain – Chris Green, Shimron Hetmyer, JP Duminy

Vice-Captain – Alex Hales, Shadab Khan, Keemo Paul

Keeper – Shai Hope

Batters – Shimron Hetmyer (C), Chandrapaul Hemraj, Alex Hales (VC)

All-Rounders – JP Duminy, Jason Holder, Keemo Paul

Bowlers – Chris Green, Shadab Khan, Romario Shepherd, Sandeep Lamichhane

Expert Advice:

Someone like Nicholas Pooran might not get to bat if Guyana would be chasing a smaller total. He costs 9.5 credits which are quite high considering he is batting at No.5 or lower.

Probable Winners:

The Guyana Amazon Warriors are expected to continue their winning spree.
