In match 15 of the 2023 season of the Caribbean Premier League, the Guyana Amazon Warriors will lock horns with the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Kensington Oval Stadium in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Both of these franchises have had contrasting tournaments till now, where the Guyana-based team has played only two matches whereas the St. Kitts-based team has played five games.
The Guyana Amazon Warriors are placed third with three points, whereas the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots are placed fifth with just two points. The former still has a lot of matches left in the tournament and can make the playoffs with ease, whereas the latter does not have many games, and every game from here on is a do-or-die encounter for them. The top bookmakers in India have CPL odds with them.
Gudakesh Motie to take 2.5+ wickets
The betting tip is...
The Guyana Amazon Warriors to win the match
Imran Tahir, a legend of South African cricket, is the captain of the Guyana Amazon Warriors team in the Caribbean Premier League this year. The team's overseas lineup includes Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Dwaine Pretorius, Imran Tahir, and Hazratullah Zazai. We expect the team management to play the same starting 11 in this forthcoming match, leaving Zazai out of the starting 11.
As per the current form, Shai Hope is predicted to be the team's most crucial player in the coming match.
Predicted Lineup: Shimron Hetmyer, Dwaine Pretorius, Keemo Paul, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Romario Shepherd, Odeon Smith, Saim Ayub, Shai Hope, Azam Khan (wk), Imran Tahir (c), and Gudakesh Motie
Evin Lewis, a swashbuckling southpaw, is the captain of the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The team's bowling department is excellent and offers a wide range of variations. Ambati Rayudu, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Blessing Muzarabani, Dewald Brevis, and Izharulhaq Naveed are the overseas players in the squad.
Dewald Brevis is going to miss the tournament due to national duties, and Muzarabani is likely to replace him.
Predicted Lineup: Evin Lewis (c), Andre Fletcher (wk), Ambati Rayudu, Sherfane Rutherford, Joshua Da Silva, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Dominic Drakes, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, and Blessing Muzarabani
This reverse fixture between these two franchises is predicted to be a thriller, unlike the first match, where the Guyana Amazon Warriors prevailed dominantly. The bowlers of both franchises are expected to be on top of their game and make the batters dance to their tunes.
The St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots need this win more than any other team in this tournament, but we think they will face another loss on Saturday against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. The collective experience of the Guyana players might come out too well for the St. Kitts players.
