GAW vs TKR Match Prediction & Analysis
L 2023 has reached the business end and Guyana Amazon Warriors will be taking on the Knight Riders in the Qualifier 1 at the Providence Stadium, Guyana.
Both teams have been impressive in run chases and Guyana even shined while batting first in their last outing. Shai Hope isn’t known for his big-hitting skills in T20 cricket and is more of a one-day player.
But the 29-year-old wicket-keeper batsman who’s got a strike rate of 126 in T20 internationals, scored 106 off 44 balls for Guyana in his last innings.
Knight Riders, who have an impressive bowling attack failed to defend 176 runs in their last match against Guyana. They would be making a few changes to the XI for this game like bringing back Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Lorcan Tucker, and Sunil Narine.
While Hope has looked in great rhythm for the Warriors in recent games, their strength lies in the lower middle order with Azam Khan, Hetmyer, and Keemo Paul.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview
Since the inception of the L in 2013, Guyana Amazon Warriors reached the Final on four occasions but never won the title. They’ve looked in great touch this year and should be confident in taking on the most successful L team in the Qualifier 1.
The depth in their batting lineup and the reliability of these batters in the lower middle order will give the openers the license to go all-guns blazing in the powerplay.
Saim Ayub and Odean Smith added 56 runs for the opening stand while chasing 177 against TKR while Shai Hope and Smith followed it up with a 61-run stand for the second wicket after Ayub’s dismissal.
This is great news for the Warriors as they face the Knight Riders for the third time this season. While Azam Khan is a great option for number 4, Guyana brought in Kelvon Anderson in the last game who scored 47 off 39 balls against Barbados.
While Keemo Paul is a more experienced player, the Warriors might have replaced him with Anderston to have more batters in the side as their lineup featured more all-rounders and only a few regular batters.
In an all-important game like this, Imran Tahir should be looking to play with full strength and bring in both Keemo Paul and Dwaine Pretorius. Tahir himself is in great form with the ball and will be one to watch out for.
Guyana Amazon Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Saim Ayub, Shai Hope, Azam Khan (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Dwaine Pretorius, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Gudakesh Motie, Junior Sinclair, Imran Tahir (c)

Trinbago Knight Riders Preview
It has been a great comeback season for the 4-time champions TKR. They finished second in the points table with 6 wins and 3 losses and reached the Qualifier 1.
They will face a tough challenge from Guyana on their way to the Final. Two of their 3 losses have come against the Warriors this season. In spite of scoring a 176-run total batting first, Trinbgo Knight Riders lost to Guyana by 6 wickets in their last match.
The bowling attack which has been their strong point can be a vulnerability going ahead. Russell will be the key pacer while in the spin department, Akeal Hossein and Sunil Narine will be the wicket-taking bowlers to watch out for.
However, others like Jayden Seales and Terrance Hinds haven’t been quite successful and though Ali Khan has shown promise, pace bowling isn’t really their strongest suit.
Waqar Salamkheil, a left-arm chinaman bowler should be in the XI for this game. A lot depends on the spin bowling and Russell with his experience can make a difference with breakthroughs in the middle overs.
Martin Guptill will be expected to get TKR off to a flying start while Nicholas Pooran is a match-winning player in the middle-order. The batting lineup is deep and features the likes of Russell, Kieron Pollard, and Lorcan Tucker in the middle order.
Akeal Hossein is also a very handy batsman in the lower order and can deliver a good finish for the Knight Riders.
Trinbago Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Martin Guptill, Sunil Narine, Mark Deyal, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (c), Andre Russell, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Akeal Hosein, Jayden Seales, Ali Khan, Waqar Salamkheil

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a batting-friendly wicket at the Providence Stadium where batters will find it easy to play their stroke freely as the ball comes on to bat nicely with an even and consistent bounce.

GAW vs TKR Pitch Report
Providence Stadium in Guyana will be the venue for the Qualifier 1 between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders. While the average 1st innings score here is 149 runs, recent games have seen much higher totals. We reckon a 190+ score will be a competitive score in this match.
Toss: To Bowl
Both teams have been successful in run chases. The venue has favored teams batting second and chasing a target. Considering their strengths and depth in the batting lineup, we reckon both teams will likely opt to bowl first.
GAW vs TKR
Winning Prediction
Guyana Amazon Warriors have faced TKR in the playoffs multiple times in the previous season but for the first time, they seem to be in a better position. Knight Riders have a mighty batting lineup with some in-form players in the middle order. However, Guyana’s variety in the bowling attack and the depth and consistency in the batting lineup give them a slight edge in this game.
Guyana Amazon Warriors will start as favorites in our match prediction.
