MATCH PREVIEW     

It is the 25th game in the Caribbean Premier League 2023, as the tournament enters its most interesting stage. The sides are fighting hard to qualify for the playoffs. The Guyana Amazon Warriors defeated the Barbados Royals in the last game and are through to the next round. The Jamaica Tallawahs went down against the Trinbago Knight Riders, their fourth consecutive loss. They have to throw all they have in their arsenal and win this game by a big margin. It will be a tough challenge for the Tallawahs, and it will be interesting to see if they can come out with all guns blazing.  

Guyana Amazon Warriors  Preview      

Imran Tahir will be proud of how his side has played in this tournament. The betting odds weren't in their favor at the start of the season. But the side has held its nerves in tight situations, as they did in the last game against Barbados Royals, winning it by 3 runs. They have a strong bowling attack, and Tahir would like to see a good show from his players in this game to build momentum ahead of the playoffs.  

Saim Ayub has been consistent for the team and will look to deliver a positive start with Chandrapaul Hemraj. The middle order has done well for the team, and they would like to see Shai Hope anchoring the innings with Shimron Hetmyer and Azam Khan. According to our betting tips, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, and Keemo Paul make the lower middle order formidable.  

The bowling attack has been the core strength of this team. Gudakesh Motie has bowled well and will look for early wickets, sharing the new ball with Dwaine Pretorius. Imran Tahir has troubled the batters and will look to repeat the same magic in the middle overs with Keemo Paul. Junior Sinclair and Romario Shephard add depth to this bowling line-up.  

Expected Starting XI for Guyana Amazon Warriors     

Imran Tahir (c), Chandrapaul Hemraj, Saim Ayub, Azam Khan (wk), Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul, Dwaine Pretorius, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Junior Sinclair 

Jamaica Tallawahs Preview      

It has been a string of failures for Brandon King's side. The senior players on the side have often failed to deliver the goods. They batted poorly in their last game against the Trinbago Knight Riders. The side must come out of the 7-wicket loss and face the challenge head-on. A loss here would end all hopes of reaching the next round, and the Tallawahs must put up a good show here.  

Brandon King has to show the way as he opens the batting with Amir Jangoo. A good start from them will put the side in a comfortable position. Jermaine Blackwood, Shamarh Brooks, and Imad Wasim have an important role in the middle order, and they must keep the scoring rate ticking. Raymon Reifer, Chris Green, and Fabian Allen are good stroke players who will look to add quick runs.  

Mohammad Amir and Chris Green have done well in the tournament with the new ball. Early wickets from the pair will create chances for the side in this high-pressure contest. Imad Wasim will look to take advantage of the conditions with Salman Irshad in the middle overs. Reifer, Kelvin Pitman, and Fabian Allen must bowl tight lines for the side to win.

TOSS: To Ball First      

It is the first game at this venue, and we expect to see pace and bounce for the fast bowlers. The wicket also assists the spinners as the ball can stop on the batsmen. Both teams will bear this in mind at the toss, and the side winning it shall look to bowl first.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

It will be clear skies over Guyana. The wicket will be good, where batsmen and bowlers will have their chances. Batsmen must play to the merit of the ball to do well at this venue, as the ball can surprise them occasionally. The side batting first on this surface will be happy to cross the 170-run mark.  

OUR PREDICTION      

There will be immense pressure on the Jamaica Tallawahs. The top order has struggled, and they must keep their failures behind and play this game with a positive mind as they look to breach the fort the Warriors have built. The Guyana Amazon Warriors have ticked all the boxes this year. They have key players in good form and haven't lost a game. They play at home and shall start favorites, according to most cricket betting sites.  

Our Prediction is for Guyana Amazon Warriors to win
