Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview
The defending champions didn't end the league stage as they would have liked. It was a wake-up call for the table toppers as they went down by 74 runs against the Trinbago Knight Riders. They have a good record against the Saint Lucia Kings, putting them ahead on cricket betting sites. Skipper Imran Tahir would like the team to take heart from those victories and use the home conditions to their advantage.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a good hitter, and the team expects him to deliver a good start at the top with Kevlon Anderson. Shai Hope is the key batsman in the middle order, and he must add runs with Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul. The side bats deep, and they expect runs from Moeen Ali, Romario Shephard, and Dwaine Pretorius in the lower middle order.
Imran Tahir has struggled with his form this year, and he must do well with the new ball along with Dwaine Pretorius. Gudakesh Motie has been the pick of the bowlers for the team, and he must do well in the middle overs with Romario Shepherd. Moeen Ali and Shamar Joseph look forward to troubling the batters in the supporting role.

Saint Lucia Kings Preview
Faf du Plessis' side hasn't had a good record against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. They went down by 35 runs in the last game against the Warriors. It won't be easy for the side in this contest, and the odds don't favor them on cricket betting apps. They need the key players in the team to stand up to the challenge and play as a well-knit unit to win this contest.
Faf du Plessis led from the front in the last game and will look to do well with Johnson Charles at the top. Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, and Aaron Jones must add runs in the middle order, as they will face a strong attack. The side will expect power hitting in the lower middle order from Tim Seifert and David Weise.
The team expects a good start with the new ball from Alzarri Joseph and Khary Piere, as the Warriors have good hitters at the top. Noor Ahmed has been the team's best bowler this season and shall look to do well in the middle overs with David Wiese. Roston Chase and Sadrack Descarte add depth to the bowling attack.

TOSS: To Bat First
In the last five games at this venue, the side batting first defended the score successfully. It isn't an easy wicket to chase scores as the track gets slower in the second innings. The side winning the toss in this game will look to bat first and put up a big total.
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weathermen predict overcast conditions over Guyana. The wicket will be good, as the bounce has been true in the previous games. Bowlers must use their variations to be successful on this track. The side batting first shall need 180 runs to feel safe.
OUR PREDICTION
Saint Lucia Kings have lost the last three games against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Their bowling attack is a bit weak, and this will put pressure on the team. The side must bat well and score big to win this contest. The Guyana Amazon Warriors have a strong batting lineup and depth in the bowling attack. They have lost only twice at this venue in the last eight games. It makes them favorites to win this contest.
Our prediction is for Guyana Amazon Warriors to win
