Trinbago Knight Riders will be up against Guyana Amazon Warriors at Warner Park in St Kitts, on 1 September. The Warriors emerged victorious in the last meeting. The Knight Riders are at third place, while the Warriors are just below them.
Team News
The Knight Riders dropped Darren Bravo in the last game for Tion Webster, who is likely to retain his place. The Knight Riders successfully defended 159 against Saint Lucia Kings. Kieron Pollard again top-scored 41.
The Warriors will be desperate to get back to the winning ways. They replaced Brandon King with Mohammad Hafeez at the top. The ploy worked, with Hafeez scoring 70, albeit in a losing cause. They are likely to retain the same combination. The bowlers, however, need to step up.
Fantasy Tips
- Hafeez and Shimron Hetmyer are the most consistent batters for the Warriors. Pick both.
- The Knight Riders' batting unit is heavily reliant on Pollard, who has delivered more often than not. Make him captain.
- A total of around 160-165 will not be easy to breach for either side. Batting gets a bit tricky in the second innings.
