The Warriors will be hoping for more from their openers Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj. They won’t be rushing into any changes but finding better support for powerful Shimron Hetmyer will be the name of the game.

Keemo Paul has been their standout bowler so far and Imran Tahir has supported him well along with skipper Chris Green. All three will have a big role to play in this one.

The Tallawahs, meanwhile, will also want others to share the load with in-form batsman Glenn Phillips. The New Zealander has started CPL 2020 in good nick but needs more around him from the likes of fellow opener Chadwick Walton.

There is much more to come from Andre Russell and Mujeeb Ur Rahman continues to look a threat, so there shouldn’t be too many drastic changes from the Tallawahs line up either.

The Tallawahs will be looking to get back to winning ways but this looks a tough ask given Guyana’s options.

If there batting can click then they should prove too strong for the Tallawahs.

Don’t forget, there are plenty more odds available for this contest.

Hetmyer Price is too Big to Ignore

Shimron Hetmyer has been Guyana’s best batsman so far and his price to top score again in this match looks far too big.

He started the tournament with 63 against the Knight Riders and followed up with a 71 against the Patriots. While Brandon King could come to the party soon, Hetmyer’s price of 4.0 with bet365 to be Guyana’s top batsman seems generous.

Back Mujeeb to Get More Wickets

Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman can have a big say in how this contest plays out.

He took a neat caught and bowled chance in the last game after previously bagging two wickets against the Zouks.

The pitch is again likely to play to his strengths and he has to be work betting on to be the Tallawahs top bowler. He can be backed at 3.5 with LeoVegas to win that market.

Tahir to Take Wickets

Imran Tahir has looked lively in the first two matches for the Amazon Warriors and can be rewarded with wickets in this match.

He has taken two wickets in each game so far and is a good bet in the Guyana top bowler market. He is priced up at 3.00 with LeoVegas and will again relish the conditions on offer in Trinidad.
