St Lucia Zouks v Guyana Amazon Warriors – Match Preview

The Zouks and Amazon Warriors met earlier in CPL 2020. St Lucia won on the back of a player of the match performance from Roston Chase. Guyana are chasing revenge this time.

Where: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba

When: Wednesday, 2 September 2020

Start time: 21:30 GMT (03:00 IST, next day)

Pitch conditions: The CPL T20 2020 has returned to Tarouba after 10 matches in Port of Spain. The Brian Lara Stadium pitch has had time to rest, so could turn out first-innings scores of over 150. The deck will probably get increasingly slower as the week goes on, though.

Weather conditions: Rain is predicted and temperatures in the early 30s degrees celsius. We’ll hopefully get in a full match. If it is a shortened fixture, this will likely suit the team chasing rather than setting a total.

St Lucia Zouks v Guyana Amazon Warriors – Team News

The Zouks have been somewhat of a surprise package in CPL 2020 despite not having the strongest batting line-up on paper.

They are likely to stick with the spin bowling attack that has been so successful for them in the first part of the tournament.

St Lucia will hope Rakheem Cornwall can hit some form with the bat to take some of the pressure off.

Leniko Boucher came in against the Tridents, but also failed to get among the runs. It means they may be tempted to return to Mark Deyal at three.

For Guyana, Kevin Sinclair replaced Chandrapaul Hemraj to open alongside Brandon King against St Kitts. While the Amazon Warriors came out on top, it doesn’t mean Hemraj won’t return for this one.

It looks like the big call in the bowling line-up will be whether Ashmead Nedd will be retained.

St Lucia Zouks v Guyana Amazon Warriors – Betting Tips and Prediction

While the Zouks have done well so far, those batting frailties have to be a concern.

Early wickets for the Amazon Warriors and this could prove a difficult task for St Lucia.

There are many other markets to look at other than outright winner bets.

Hetmyer to Get Back in the Runs

Shimron Hetmyer has seen the runs dry up in recent outings after a bright start to the tournament.

That said, it’s hard to keep him down and it would be no surprise to see him quickly back among the runs in this one. He is certainly overdue a score and he can relish the chance to edge his side closer to the play-off picture.

Now could be the time to catch him to be his team’s top batsman at 4.25 with LeoVegas.

Nabi a Danger with the Ball Again

When these two teams met at this ground earlier in the tournament, it was Scott Kuggeleijn that did the damage with the ball in hand.

However, since then, Mohammad Nabi has been the star for St Lucia.

He only took one wicket against the Tridents, but that came on the back of a five-wicket haul against St Kitts.

It’s hard to overlook him to be his team’s top wicket-taker once more at 2.88 with 22Bet.

Green’s Consistency to Pay Off

Guyana skipper Chris Green has bowled consistently well all tournament and can claim more scalps in the fixture.

He bagged two against St Kitts and could be the man to benefit from the pressure applied by team-mate Imran Tahir.

While Tahir will no doubt top the betting market to be Guyana’s top wicket-taker, siding with Green should offer some value. Unibet have Green offered at 5.0 to be the top bowler for Guyana.
