GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS FORM: WARRIORS GO TOP WITH VICTORY HERE
Guyana Amazon Warriors’ superior net-run-rate means that a win over Saint Lucia Kings will be enough to take them top of the table. Confidence is high among their squad following a much-needed 47-run victory against Barbados Royals.
SAINT LUCIA KINGS FORM: SEVEN WINS FROM NINE FOR LEAGUE LEADERS
Saint Lucia Kings are coming off the back of an 80-run thrashing that they dealt Trinbago Knight Riders. Johnson Charles racked up 89 from 40 balls as the Kings accumulated 218/6 before bowling out Trinbago for just 138 in 17.5 overs. That was their seventh victory of the league stage with just this game left to play.
GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS BETTING ANALYSIS
Guyana Amazon Warriors’ batter Shai Hope boasts 202 runs across eight innings so far and his most recent knock of 71 from 37 balls against Barbados Royals was his best yet. Hope will be crucial for Guyana heading into the business end of the tournament and backing him to top score for a second game running is well worth considering.
SAINT LUCIA KINGS BETTING ANALYSIS
In our preview of the Kings’ clash with Trinbago, we highlighted left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad and his 13 wickets accrued across the league stage. He extended that number to 16 with 3/39 against the Knight Riders. Ahmad’s bowling has been so difficult to pick from a batting perspective and attacking him can often lead to opponents losing their wicket. With that in mind, back Ahmad to pick up another 2+ wickets in this encounter.
GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS VS SAINT LUCIA KINGS EXPERT PREDICTION
The nature of Saint Lucia Kings’ victory over Trinbago Knight Riders cannot be underestimated. It was a statement of intent and they plan to enter the playoffs with momentum behind them. Whilst Guyana Amazon Warriors have already overcome them once this season, Saint Lucia have grown more as a team since then and are likely to put in a significantly better showing on this occasion, especially with the bat. Back the Kings to be on the right end of this one.
