The Guyana Amazon Warriors will go up against the Barbados Royals in match number 30 of the CPL 2022 season. The upcoming contest also marks the final fixture of the league stage, with the playoffs slated to commence on September 27.

In their initial eight games of the season, they managed to secure just three wins, including two on the trot earlier this week.

The Royals, on the other hand, have already qualified for the playoffs. They will be facing the second-best team of the league stage on September 27 in Qualifier 1. The David Miller-led side launched their CPL 2022 campaign with six successive wins upfront, with their only defeat coming against the Tallawahs on September 15.

Key Players

• Kyle Mayers has clubbed 311 runs this season at an average of 34.55. The Royals’ all-rounder also claimed five wickets across nine matches.
• Shimron Hetmyer has piled up 196 runs from just seven outings for the Warriors. He is currently the leading run-scoring of the season for his side.
• Jason Holder has emerged as the second highest wicket-taker of CPL 2022, and the highest for the Royals through his 14-wicket tournament haul thus far.
