Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview
The defending champions are doing well in the tournament. Imran Tahir's men defeated the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the last game by 27 runs to book a berth for themselves in the playoffs. They lost to the Barbados Royals earlier in the season, and Tahir wanted to avenge the loss. They are ahead on cricket betting sites in this game, and the Warriors' skipper would like his players to live up to expectations.
Raymon Reifer and Azam Khan are powerful hitters, and the team needs a strong show from them at the top. Shai Hope is the mainstay in this batting lineup, and he will look to build partnerships with Gudakesh Motie and Shimron Hetmyer. Moeen Ali, Romario Shephard, and Keemo Paul add punch to the batting lineup.
Dwaine Pretorius and Gudakesh Motie bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team expects a good start with the new ball. Imran Tahir hasn't been at his best and needs to do well in the middle overs with Romario Shepherd. The team will need a good show from Moeen Ali, Keemo Paul, and Shamar Joseph in the supporting roles.
Expected Starting XI for Guyana Amazon Warriors
Imran Tahir (c), Raymon Reifer, Azam Khan (wk), Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Moeen Ali, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph
Barbados Royals Preview
Rovman Powell's team must find its form after suffering back-to-back losses. They went down by 13 runs in the last game against the Saint Lucia Kings as the famed batting lineup failed to chase a mediocre total. They have come down in the pecking order on cricket betting apps, and the side will expect a strong show in this game.
Quinton de Kock is in good form, and the team needs him to deliver a positive start with Kadeem Alleyne. Alick Athanaze will look to anchor the innings and add runs in the middle order with Rahkeem Cornwall and Rovman Powell after failing in the last game. David Miller and Jason Holder are powerful hitters, which makes it a strong batting lineup.
The side needs early wickets from Jason Holder and Maheesh Theekshana, as their opponents have a strong batting lineup. Keshav Maharaj is the best bowler in this lineup, and he must do well in the middle overs with Obed McCoy. The team will need a good show in the supporting role from Nayeem Young and Rahkeem Cornwall.

Rovman Powell (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Rahkeem Cornwall, Kadeem Alleyne, Alick Athanaze, David Miller, Jason Holder, Keshav Maharaj, Maheesh Theekshana, Nyeem Young, Obed McCoy
TOSS: To Bowl First
The wicket has been slow, and we have seen low-scoring contests at this venue this season. It will be a tough track to bat on, and chasing a score is easier. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first and aim to dismiss the opposition for a small total.
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
We expect clear skies over Guyana. It will be a tough track to bat on as the ball stops on the batsmen. Spinners can trouble the batsmen in the latter stages of the innings. The team batting first in this game will be happy with 170 runs or more on the board.
OUR PREDICTION
Barbados Royals come here with two consecutive losses. The batting lineup has struggled with its consistency, and the side will need a good show from the top order to win this contest. The Guyana Amazon Warriors have a strong batting lineup and have won the last three games, giving them an edge.
Our prediction is for Guyana Amazon Warriors to win
