GUY vs SLZ Dream11 : St Lucia Zouks look to build on their scrappy win from yesterday and make it two wins on the bounce
Advertisement
Divulging in a match where both the sides went at loggerheads to decide who could collapse better than the other, St Lucia Zouks managed to pull off the strangest off wins but a win nonetheless. Defeating St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in a crucial encounter for them yesterday, the side managed to register only their second win in 7 matches, a result which saw them rise from the trenches of the points tally.
Making it into the top 4 with that result, St Lucia Zouks would be looking to register their second win within the space of a day as they look to consolidate their place in their newly found solace. However, in Guyana Amazon Warriors, they face a much sterner test than the one St Kitts and Nevis Patriots were able to fathom together, a side who are among the only unbeaten ones in Caribbean Premier League 7.

Stepping out to bat first yesterday, St Lucia Zouks batting effort was one which we could never wrap our heads around. After piling on 59 runs in the powerplay overs, the side slumped to lose wickets at regular intervals before eventually going on a rampage in the death overs to put on a competitive 165, one their bowlers made the most of.
A complete bowling performance from the side saw them pick up a flurry of wickets at all the right stages to leave St Kitts and Nevis bundled out at 145, a 20 run win which could serve as the impetuous of rejuvenation for their campaign. Guyana Amazon Warriors meanwhile come into this match having registered their sixth win in succession, a 12 run win through the DLS method against Barbados Tridents.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
Although yesterday’s wicket was a good one for batting, the surface slowed down significantly as the match traversed into the second part. With the ground team getting limited time to work on this surface and rain looming over as well, we should be in for akin conditions with the spinners flourishing and the side winning the toss choosing to bat first.

GUY vs SLZ Match Prediction
St Lucia Zouks were extremely fortunate that a lacklustre batting display was compensated for by an incredible bowling display but we don’t envision the same miracle being scripted today as well. In Guyana, they are up against an opponent who will pounce on their silly mistakes, spare no expense in capitalising on the many errors St Lucia Zouks are guilty of committing.
Their inconsistencies in the batting order will see them languish today, seeing Guyana win this clash.

GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
With 36 runs in 23 balls yesterday, Andre Fletcher not only top scored for his side but also played out an innings which proved pivotal to their win at the end of proceedings. The opener and wicket-keeper from St Lucia Zouks has been one of their most integral players across the course of the league, seeing him retain his place in our side.
GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Batsmen
His stint in the middle lasted for only 16 balls but his 21 runs were enough to see us keep Colin Ingram in our side. It was an innings which promises much, sparking faith in us of the number three bat from St Lucia Zouks revelling us in a succulent display today.
Elsewhere from Guyana Amazon Warriors we have brought in the top of their order batsmen with the side seeing Brandon King and Chanderpaul Hemraj lay down the marker and ensure that the middle-order has hardly being exposed. Opener King took just 34 balls to pile on 51 runs yesterday, a boundary brimming knock which saw them hit the three 6s and five 4s.
GUY vs SLZ Dream11 All-Rounders
After an incredible display to the league, St Lucia Zouks Rakheem Cornwall has started struggling to maintain his form, slumping in form at the wrong stage for the side. It’s not only done injustice to his reputation as a player but hampered the side from indulging in his skill set as a player, one which can easily win the match on its own for the side on any given day.
His acumen as a cricketer is what sees us repose faith in him for today as well along with Colin de Grandhomme from the side while from the opposition we are choosing Keemo Paul with the pacer being a pivotal component of their bowling unit.
GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Bowling Order
The nature of the surface paired with how much the bowlers flourished yesterday, being reslliance and defiance on a wicket made to curtail batsmen midway in their efforts see us heavily pack our bowling unit. We have gone in with the bowlers, the two apiece from either side, beginning with pacer Hardus Viljoen who snared 3-14 yesterday along with legspinner Fawad Ahmed who got 2-19.
Elsewhere from Guyana we have brought in their spinning unit with the spinners set to leave the batsmen perplexed today. We begin with Chris Green with his match winning 4-14 winning the side’s previous rain shortened match along with legspinner Imran Tahir who got 2-22.
Captain And Vice-Captain
King is our captain for today’s encounter while we are moving in with Green as the vice-captain.
