Guyana Amazon Warriors will have their task cut out as they take on Jamaica Tallawahs in the fourth match of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2022 at Warner Park, St Kitts on Saturday, August 3. 

The Rovman Powell-led outfit got off to an excellent start in the tournament as they brushed past defending champions St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the opening match. Heading into the second fixture, the Tallawahs will be keen to continue their winning form. 

Speaking of Guyana Amazon Warriors, the team is going to kick-start its CPL 2022 campaign with this match. Shimron Hetmyer will be making his CPL captaincy debut and must be aiming to spark a turnaround and snap the knockout jinx of the Warriors. 

Key Players

• Brandon King: The Jamaica opening batter came out all guns blazing against the Patriots in the first match. He played a contentious knock of 57-ball 89, studded with 8 fours and 6 sixes to help his side post a mammoth total. 
• Rovman Powell: Leading his team from the front, Powell belted 30 runs from just 15 balls in the opening match against the Patriots. His breezy cameo was laced with a boundary and three towering sixes. 
• Nicholas Gordan: The right-arm quick bowled really well in the opening match, having returned with a sensational figure of 3/32 in four overs. He can be backed to deliver in this match.

Pitch Report 

The wicket at Warner Park has looked balanced so far. While a similar sort of surface is expected on Saturday, pacers should get some early movement in the initial overs. Spinners could be useful in the middle overs, with the pitch likely to slow down in the later hours.
