St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Guyana Amazon Warriors, L T20 2023, Today Match Prediction 25 August 2023

SNP vs GAW Match Prediction & Analysis

The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will be eying their first win of the tournament as they take on the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 8th game of the Caribbean Premier League 2023. The Patriots suffered a big defeat at the hands of Jamaica Tallawahs in the last game. Amazon Warriors have played only once, and the game had to be abandoned due to rain.  

The Guyana Amazon Warriors have a poor record against the Patriots and haven't won a game against them since 2020. They have firepower in the batting and shall look to make it count in this game. The Patriots' bowlers look in poor shape, and the side must get a good show out of them to win this game. We expect a close contest in this game, with both teams eying their first win.

TEAMS PREVIEW

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Preview

Evin Lewis' side went down by 8 wickets against the Jamaica Tallawahs in the last game. Their first two games were washed away by rain, and the side would look for its first win here. They haven't lost a game against the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the last two seasons, and Lewis would want his players to take inspiration from those wins.   

Andre Fletcher and Evin Lewis form a powerful opening combination and would look to deliver a good start in this game. Joshua Da Silva must improve his strike rate at No. 3 and build partnerships with Ambati Rayudu and Corbin Bosch. Sherfane Rutherford is a good hitter, and he will look to add quick runs with George Linde and Dominic Drakes in the final overs.  

The Tallawahs tore apart the bowling attack in the last game. Sheldon Cottrell and Blessing Muzarabani must get their lines right and aim for early wickets in this game. The side will also need good overs from Drakes and Oshane Thomas in the middle of the innings. Bosch and Linde need to deliver the goods in the ing role. 

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Predicted Playing XI:

Evin Lewis (c), Andre Fletcher (wk), Ambati Rayudu, Sherfane Rutherford, Joshua Da Silva, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Dominic Drakes, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, Blessing Muzarabani

Guyana Amazon Warriors Preview

Imran Tahir's side had to share points with the Saint Lucia Kings in their last game as rain stopped play. They have a strong batting line-up and experience in the bowling attack. Tahor would be aware of his side's poor record against the Patriots and shall look for a strong show from his players in this game.  

Chandrapaul Hemraj had done well last year and the side, and he will look to deliver a good start with Saim Ayub. Azam Khan, Shai Hope, and Shimron Hetmyer make it a formidable middle order, and they will look to build big partnerships. The side has depth in the line-up and shall expect a good show from Keemo Paul, Dwaine Pretorius, and Romario Shepherd.  

Shepherd and Keemo Paul are good bowlers, and the side will expect a good show from them with the new ball. Imran Tahir brings vast experience to the table, and he will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Gudakesh Motie, who has grown in stature. Odean Smith and Pretorius add depth to this attack. 

Guyana Amazon Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Imran Tahir (c), Chandrapaul Hemraj, Saim Ayub, Shai Hope, Azam Khan (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Dwaine Pretorius, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Gudakesh Motie

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It would be clear skies over St Kitts on August 25, and the wicket will play well. We have seen big scores in the past, and batsmen can play their strokes after their eyes set in on the surface. The side batting first in this game would have to put 180 runs on the board to feel safe.

SNP vs GAW Pitch Report

Warner Park, St Kitts, is surely a paradise for the batsmen, and there is little for the bowlers, especially the fast bowlers. The pitch is flat, allowing the batsmen to hit the ball hard. Spinners who dare to flight the ball do get the rewards.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket has looked slow in the first few games played here, and scoring runs isn't easy here. The side chasing the score always has an advantage in these conditions. Hence, we believe the side winning the toss in this game should have no hesitation in bowling first.
