TKR vs GUY Dream11 : Culminating encounter of the league stage sees Guyana and Trinbago Knight Riders go at loggerheads for the second time in the space of a week
Advertisement
They started off the league in akin fashion with both the sides challenging for a spot in the echelons of Caribbean Premier League before both the sides decided to take different routes. Where Guyana Amazon Warriors managed to stamp their authority on the league by winning each of their league stage matches, Trinbago Knight Riders came hurtling down in the second half of the season.
Unfortunately for the side, it wasn’t just a fall but a massive crash with the outfit waning, wavering and unravelling to go from first place to fourth position. Fortuitous to find themselves in the top 4 due to the inclement form of the rest of the sides partaking in the league, Trinbago Knight Riders know they can’t afford to continue slipping up with the semi-finals upon us in the time to come.
Making just 134 while batting first against Barbados tridents in their previous encounter, Trinbago Knight Riders were lacklustre yet again, a match where they ended up being put down by 7 wickets. Elsewhere, Guyana Amazon Warriors ended up winning their ninth match in succession in the league with a comprehensive 77 run trouncing of Jamaica Tallawahs.
Making 156 while batting first, the side’s bowling display was a formidable one, a fixture where they halted their opposition’s run chase at a paltry 79 as they mauled and lambasted them. It was a clinical bowling defence, one which will make an unsteady Trinbago Knight Riders’ batting unit jittery and despondent ahead of today’s imminent clash with the outfit up against a stalwart bowling line-up.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
A two toned nature will come into play on this track with the ball moving onto the ball perfectly, rising onto the ball with the perfect bounce and giving the batsmen all the room and time to find the fence in the first part of the clash. It will be quick to break down though in the second part with the spinners thriving and the track crumbling to make chasing tough, leading the first winning the toss opting to bat first.

TKR vs GUY Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Nicholas Pooran has had a journey where he’s stopped more than he’s managed to get going but the wicket-keeper from Guyana Amazon Warriors continues to stay in our side owing to his skill set especially in the T20 format. An exceptional player, the bat is a clean hitter of the ball, someone who doesn’t need an invitation of sending the ball to the fence.
TKR vs GUY Dream11 Batsmen
Both the sides didn’t enjoy massive success when it came to the batting front in the previous clash but we are going to continue to entrust faith in Guyana Amazon Warriors due to their tenacious nature with the bat. The batting order has been a massive reason for them making such compelling strides in the league with openers Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj being the fulcrums of that batting performance.
With 60 runs in the previous match, Trinbago Knight Riders’ opener, Lendl Simmons becomes the first of two players from the side with Colin Munro joining him as the two put on yet another 50 run stand in the previous encounter.
TKR vs GUY Dream11 All-Rounders
After being route with the ball across the length of the league, Jimmy Neesham’s escalated role with the ball the last time around finally worked in his favour. He ended up getting the one wicket and with him being elevated all the way to the opening slot with the bat, he’s a player we just can’t ignore for this clash.
He sent down just one over in the previous match but left the opposition rattled and battered with the two wickets in those six balls, an over which saw Keemo Paul yet again show why he’s such a key player for the side.
TKR vs GUY Dream11 Bowling Order
With the pitch bound to become sluggish, low, slow and sordid as we traverse through the match, it was only fair for us to get in the spinners in this match. We begin with Imran Tahir and Qais Ahmed from Guyana with the two taking five wickets in between them in the bygone clash, a duo set to batter Trinbago Knight Riders in this clash.
Chris Green comes in as well from the side to complete our trio of picks while from the other side we are getting in Khary Pierre for today’s impending clash.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Qais is our side’s captain for today whilst Simmons is being selected as the vice-captain.
