Caribbean Premier League 2019

Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St. Lucia Zouks

Providence Stadium, Guyana

September 6, 2019

3:30 a.m. IST

Preview: 

The Guyana Amazon Warriors will host the St. Lucia Zouks in the second match of the Caribbean Premier League at the Providence Stadium on Thursday. The hosts would be eager to win the title this season at least as they have been runners-up in four editions but the title has always eluded them. They have off loaded quite a few players this season but have brought equally good T20 players in Shadab Khan and Nicholas Pooran to their roster. The Zouks, on the other hand, have let go big names like Lendl Simmons, David Warner and Kieron Pollard but they have highly talented players like Niroshan Dickwella, Andre Fletcher, John Campbell and Cameron Delport to fill the void. The bowling is more than capable of doing the job as they have good bowlers like Krishmar Santokie, Kesrick Williams, Lasith Malinga and Beuran Hendricks.

Weather Conditions: Weather is expected to remain clear throughout the day and, hence, the game should go on without any interruptions.

Pitch Condition: The pitch at Guyana is good for batting. But bowlers with variations will have a say too. Scores in excess of 160 can be expected across both innings.

Probable Playing XIs

Guyana Amazon Warriors

Shadab Khan, Nicholas Pooran, Shoaib Malik, Shimron Hetmyer, Ben Laughlin, Chris Green, Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford, Brandon King, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Veerasammy Permaul

St. Lucia Zouks

Fawad Ahmed, Darren Sammy, Thisara Perera, Andre Fletcher, Kesrick Williams, John Campbell, Obed McCoy, Rahkeem Cornwall, Andre McCarthy, Beuran Hendricks,Krishmar Santokie

Top Picks:

Wicket-Keeper: Nicholas Pooran (9.5 Cr)

Even though he didn't have the best of outings in the recently concluded T20I and ODI series between India and West Indies respectively, he was the highest run-scorer for them in the 2019 World Cup and averaged over 50 as well. Moreover, he had a good previous season as well. Hence, he would like to carry that form forward into this season

Batsman: Shimron Hetmyer (10 Cr)

He is one of the most dangerous shorter format batsmen in the world at present. Hetmyer will probably open the innings for his team and, hence, will have a chance to score plenty of points.

All-Rounder: Shadab Khan (9.5 Cr)

The Pakistani spinner is one of the best T20 bowlers in the World at present. He is a real wicket-taker with the ball and can strike a few big ones with the bat down the order as well.

Bowler: Chris Green (8.5 Cr)

The Australian all-rounder is a very canny bowler and a shrewd lower-order batsman. He is coming into this tournament on the back of a fabulous outing in the Global T20 Canada and, hence, he would be eager to carry that form forward into this tournament.

Captaincy options (in priority order): Shadab Khan, Chris Green, Nicholas Pooran
