Barbados Royals will host the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Kensington Oval in Barbados in match number 16 of the CPL 2024 season on September 15. The action is slated to commence from 4:30 AM IST onwards. The winner of the match will take the top spot on the CPL 2024 points table.

CPL 2024 journey of both teams so far

The Barbados Royals franchise recently slumped to a two-wicket defeat against Trinbago Knight Riders. The outcome snapped their three-match winning streak, and they are currently holding the second spot on the CPL 2024 points table. A win over Guyana Amazon Warriors at this stage will help them attain the top position on the six-team standings.

Quinton de Kock has emerged as the biggest standout performer with the bat for the Royals so far, having tallied 193 runs from four innings at a splendid average of 64.33. Moreover, Quinton is also ranked second among the leading run-scorers of the tournament. With the ball, Maheesh Theekshana and Obed McCoy have soared the most for the Royals by picking seven wickets each from just four matches.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors are yet to lose a single match this season, and are fittingly placed at the top of the CPL 2024 points table. However, Imran Tahir and co. might well lose their crown if they slip against Barbados Royals.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Shimron Hetmyer have chipped in with the highest number of runs in their unbeaten cause, with both tallying over 100 runs in three innings at astonishing averages. The bowling department, meanwhile, has been ably commanded by spinners Gudakesh Motie and Imran Tahir, considering the two cricketers have claimed 15 wickets between them for the Warriors this season.

How will the Kensington Oval pitch behave?

The Kensington Oval is often considered to be a paradise for batters in T20 matches. The average first innings total at the venue this season has turned out to be a competitive 166. Considering the recent results, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first.
