Defending champions Guyana Amazon Warriors and Barbados Royals will collide in match number 27 of the ongoing CPL 2024 season on September 26. The much-awaited contest will be hosted by the Providence Stadium in Guyana and the action will commence from 4:30 AM IST onwards.

CPL 2024 journey of both teams so far

Guyana Amazon Warriors is ranked second on the CPL 2024 points table, finding themselves only behind St Lucia Kings. Under the leadership of Imran Tahir and interim skipper Shai Hope, the Warriors unit has secured five wins from just seven fixtures.

Explosive middle-order batter Shimron Hetmyer has contributed the most in Warriors recent success as he has emerged as their leading run-maker of the season. Hetmyer has so far accumulated 229 runs in seven innings at an astonishing strike rate of nearly 200. In the bowling department, spinner Gudakesh Motie has delivered the highest number of breakthroughs with 11 wickets and he is followed by overseas paceman Dwaine Pretorius.

The Barbados Royals team has also registered five wins, albeit from eight matches. Holding 10 points at an NRR of 0.629, the Royals are placed third on the CPL 2024 points table, just behind the Warriors. They need to defeat the Warriors in the upcoming match to secure a top-two finish in the standings.

South African-based opening batter Quinton de Kock has tallied the highest number of runs among all players this season. Opening the innings for Barbados Royals, the dashing wicketkeeper-batter has hammered nearly 400 runs at a stupendous average of 65.16. Maheesh Theekshana and Obed McCoy have ably commanded the bowling department by consistently delivering timely breakthroughs.

How will the Providence Stadium pitch behave?

The Providence Stadium in Guyana has hosted several low-scoring matches recently. Considering the slow surface, spinners from both teams will be expected to make a big impact in the game, especially during the middle overs. Owing to recent results, the captain winning the toss will be expected to bat first.

GUY vs BR: Predicted Toss Result

Chasing sides have found it difficult to bat first at the Providence Stadium in recent CPL 2024 matches. The captain winning the toss must opt to bat first, and the team must cautiously bat and aim for a total in excess of 140 runs upfront.
