Guyana Amazon WarriorsSt Lucia KingsThe Kings will expect Alzarri Joseph to return after missing the last match. Their campaign started with a narrow 3-run win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots before losing to Trinbago Knight Riders. In the first game, Roston Chase scored 61 from 38 balls, while Johnson Charles made 52 from 28. Tim David added a quick 46 off 23 in the middle overs.
In the second game, Johnson Charles and Tim Seifert gave a steady start, but the middle order collapsed, with most players dismissed under 30. The batting still looks strong with Seifert at the top, Chase in form, and David continuing his fine touch.
With the ball, Khary Pierre impressed with 2 for 25 in the opener, while David Wiese and Chase also took two wickets each. Keon Gaston picked up two wickets in the last game, supported by Shamsi, Chase, Wiese, and Thomas.
Seifert, Chase and David are the key players.
Predicted Lineup: Johnson Charles, Tim Seifert (wk), Roston Chase, Tim David, Delano Potgieter, David Wiese (c), Ackeem Auguste, Alzarri Joseph/Oshane Thomas, Keon Gaston, Khary Pierre, Tabraiz Shamsi.
The Warriors will enter this contest with a strong batting lineup. Shai Hope, Ben McDermott, and Moeen Ali form a powerful top order, while Shimron Hetmyer and Iftikhar Ahmed add depth in the middle. McDermott scored 75 off 39 in their first win, and Hope anchored both matches with 82 off 54 and a fifty in the opening game. Hetmyer’s 65* off 26 and Shepherd’s 25* off 8 powered their second win to 211/3.
The lower order adds balance with Iftikhar, Romario Shepherd, and Dwaine Pretorius, capable of scoring quickly. Hetmyer at number 4 will remain crucial, while McDermott’s ability to find boundaries will be important in the power play.
In bowling, Imran Tahir led with 5 wickets for 21 runs in the second win. Pretorius and Shepherd picked two each, while Shamar Joseph and Gudakesh Motie strengthened the attack.
Hope, Hetmyer and Shepherd are the key players.
Predicted Lineup: Ben McDermott, Kevlon Anderson, Moeen Ali, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Iftikhar Ahmed, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Imran Tahir (c).
This match will bring two strong batting lineups against each other, but the bowling strength could make the difference. The Saint Lucia Kings have firepower in their batting, yet their bowling has looked inconsistent in the last few games.
Guyana Amazon Warriors, on the other hand, will walk in with a more balanced attack. Imran Tahir has already shown his class with a five-wicket haul, while Gudakesh Motie adds control as a second spinner. Romario Shepherd and Dwaine Pretorius provide wicket-taking options in the middle overs, and Shamar Joseph brings pace to the attack.
With such variety and proven performers, the Warriors’ bowling unit looks stronger on paper.
