TKR vs GUY: Team Previews
Trinbago Knight Riders
The Trinbago Knight Riders had a bit of a rocky start in the tournament, but they came back strong, winning their next three games in a row. Currently, they are in third place with seven points on the board.
Their latest match was a nail-biter, but they clinched a tight two-run victory over the Jamaica Tallawahs. Andre Russell and Sunil Narine were the heroes of the match, grabbing three wickets and two wickets, putting the squeeze on Jamaica, who managed just 140 runs.
Captain Kieron Pollard and Martin Guptill are leading the charge in runs for the Trinbago Knight Riders, and Andre Russell is the go-to wicket-taker for the team. As they gear up for this game, all eyes will be on the likes of Sunil Narine, Dwayne Bravo and Nicholas Pooran to step up their game and keep it steady.
Guyana Amazon Warriors
On the other hand, Guyana Amazon Warriors are yet to lose a game in the tournament. Their opening game against the St Lucia Kings was abandoned due to the rain. However, after that, they won their next three games on the trot. They are currently occupying second position in the points table.
They pulled off a massive win, hammering St Kitts & Nevis Patriots by 98 runs in their last game. It was an all-around masterclass. They went into bat first, smashing 186 runs while losing six wickets. Later, Dwaine Pretorius and Gudakesh Motie turned into bowling wizards, skittling out St Kitts & Nevis Patriots for just 88 runs.
Keemo Paul and Shimron Hetmyer have been smashing it with the bat for Amazon Warriors, and when it comes to bowling, Gudakesh Motie and Dwaine Pretorius are the ones getting the job done. They are on a roll and aiming to keep that unbeaten streak in the tournament.
