Match Preview

After two games each in the tournament, both the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Jamaica Tallawahs have one win each. However, their positions on the points table are differentiated by the NRR. With an NRR of +0.616, the Warriors are at the second spot at the moment.

But the Tallawahs have got a negative NRR of -0.106. The team’s 7-wicket loss to the Trinbago Knight Riders have affected their NRR quite significantly and that is one area they’d like to improve upon. At the moment, they find themselves on the fourth spot on the points table and will look to climb up higher after this match.

GUY vs JAM Team News

Guyana Amazon Warriors Team News

• Guyana Amazon Warriors will go into the match with the same playing XI unless any injuries.
• Last year’s top scorer Brandon King is yet to make a significant contribution this season along with Chandrapaul Hemraj. Opening partnership will be crucial to Guyana’s fortunes this year.
• The middle-order is power-packed with the like of Shimron Hetmyer, Ross Taylor, Nicholas Pooran and Sherfane Rutherford featuring in. Shimron Hetmyer has been excellent so far along with Ross Taylor while other two are yet to fire.
• Keemo Paul and Chris Green are using the conditions brilliantly with the former particularly firing on all cylinders. They are also useful batsmen down the order while Romario Shepherd, Imran Tahir and Naveen-ul-Haq will round-off the bowling department.

Jamaica Tallawahs Team News

• A couple of changes are expected in the playing XI of Jamaica Tallawahs for this match.
• Glenn Phillips will look to continue his domination but Chadwick Walton has not been that great at the other end. Youngster Nicholas Kirton had two poor outings and Jermaine Blackwood is likely to replace him in the XI.
• Big-hitters in Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite and Asif Ali are important cogs in Jamaican wheels but the form of captain Rovman Powell is a worry for team management.
• In bowling department, Veerasammy Permaul is expected to be back after missing out in the last match. He along with Sandeep Lamichhane and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will form a strong core in spin-bowling role. Fidel Edwards will be the only frontline pacer for Jamaica Tallawahs.
