TEAMS PREVIEW

Jamaica Tallawahs Preview

Brandon King's side defeated the Saint Lucia Kings by 5 wickets in the Eliminator. It was a textbook performance from the side with the ball. The side has struggled with the bat in most games and the skipper will expect a good show from the top order. They have a poor record against the Warriors and King would like to put those losses behind them.  

Alex Hales and Brandon King got starts in the last game and the side will expect a strong show from this destructive opening pair in this game. Shamarh Brooks must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Imad Wasim and Steven Taylor. They have depth in the batting and shall expect runs from Fabian Allen, Raymon Reifer, and Chris Green.  

The bowling attack will feel confident after the excellent performance in the last game. Mohammad Amir has bowled well and he will aim to strike early with Raymon Reifer. Imad Wasim is in good form, and he has an important job in the middle overs with Chris Green and Shamar Springer. The side will also expect good spells from Allen and Nicholas Gordan. 

Jamaica Tallawahs Predicted Playing XI:

Brandon King (c), Alex Hales, Steven Taylor, Shamarh Brooks (wk), Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen, Shamar Springer, Raymon Reifer, Chris Green, Mohammad Amir, Nicholson Gordon

Jamaica Tallawahs Actual Playing XI:

Shamarh Brooks, Alex Hales, Brandon King, Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen, Raymon Reifer, Shamar Springer, Steven Taylor, Mohammad Amir, Christopher Green, Nicholson Gordon

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

Imran Tahir's side went down against the Trinbago Knight Riders by 7 wickets in the 1st Qualifier. The Warriors’ skipper will be worried about the form of his bowlers. It is the side’s main strength, and they took a huge hit in the last game. They have defeated the Jamaica Tallawahs twice in this tournament and Tahir would like his players to take inspiration from those victories.  

Saim Ayub is in top form and the side will need a good start from him and Odean Smith as the Tallawahs have a good bowling attack. Shai Hope is the top run scorer this year and he will look to build partnerships with Shimron Hetmyer and Azam Khan in the middle order. The side will need a good show from Kelvon Anderson, Keemo Paul, and Romario Shepherd are in the lower middle order.    

The bowling attack has fared poorly in the last few games. The side will need a good spell from Romario Shephard and Dwaine Pretorius early in the game. Gudakesh Motie and Imran Tahir are the key bowlers for the side and there will be a lot riding on their shoulders. The side will need a good show in the ing role from Keemo Paul, Shamar Joseph, and Odean Smith. 

Guyana Amazon Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Imran Tahir (c), Saim Ayub, Odean Smith, Shai Hope, Azam Khan (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Dwaine Pretorius, Kelvon Anderson, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph

Guyana Amazon Warriors Actual Playing XI:

Saim Ayub, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Azam Khan, Dwaine Pretorius, Kelvon Anderson, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Imran Tahir, Gudakesh Motie, Ronsford Beaton

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There shall be cloud cover in Guyana on September 23. The wicket would be good to bat on, but the fast bowlers will also love bowling under the cloud cover in this game. The side batting first shall need 170 runs on the board to feel safe.

JT vs GAW Pitch Report

Providence Stadium, Guyana, is a good surface for T20 cricket, and we have seen good contests between the bat and the ball. Fast bowlers can generate pace on this wicket, and it is easy to hit through the line of the ball. The shorter boundaries also make run-scoring easy. The spinners get some assistance as the game progresses.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score has won the last two games and we have seen the wicket offer assistance to the bowlers at the start. It is a good wicket to chase scores. Both captains will be under pressure and they would like to bowl first.
