The 2020 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) was off to a flying start on the opening day with Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Tridents securing a win. Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will lock horns in the fourth game of the tournament and we bring you the fantasy tips from that encounter.
Guyana had a disappointing start to the competition losing to Trinbago Knight Riders in the opening game. Shimron Hetmyer and Ross Taylor batted extremely well in the rain-marred encounter but the bowlers couldn’t back them well. Imran Tahir needs to buckle up and lead the bowling unit.
On the other hand, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots also started on a losing note going down against the Barbados Tridents. After a decent effort from the bowlers, the batters failed to chase down the target. The likes of Chris Lynn and Evin Lewis need to share responsibilities and deliver goods for the side.
Pitch Report
The Brian Lara stadium has consistently provided slow and low turf which has aided the slow bowlers. Both teams have some quality spinners in their ranks and it will be a close battle. The team winning the toss will look to bat first as the wicket can get really slow in the second half.
