Trinbago Knight Riders vs Guyana Amazon Warriors Predictions

The two teams are locked on six points each with three wins from four games. A win would lift either of them to the top of the table, depending on net run rate. Defending champs the Amazon started with three wins before losing to the Royals in the last match. Trinbago are my pick for the win as they have won their last two matches, including against the Royals in their last match.

Trinbago Knight Riders’ Nicholas Pooran scored 35 off 23 balls in the win over the Royals.
Trinbago Knight Riders’ Shaqkere Parris has scored 31, 57 & 35 in his last 3 innings.
Guyana Amazon Warriors’ Shimron Hetmyer has scored 28 off 10 balls and 91 off 39 balls in his last 3 innings.
Guyana Amazon Warriors’ Shai Hope has scored 42*, 41 & 40 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Amazon have won four of the last five matches between the two sides.

Trinbago Knight Riders Form

Trinbago bounced back from a loss to the Falcons by beating the Kings and then the Royals.

Waqar Salamkheil (3/13, econ 3.25) and Sunil Narine (2/16, econ 4.00) bowled superbly to peg the Royals back to 59/4, but they recovered superbly to reach a competitive score of 156/7 off their 20 overs.

After the loss of two early wickets, Shaqkere Parris (35 off 40) and Nicholas Pooran (35 off 23) got the chase back on track, with the lower order adding vital runs to secure the win with two wickets and one ball in hand.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News

Trinbago Knight Riders are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Form

The defending champs started their season with three wins on the bounce, only to go down to the Royals by 32 runs in their last match.

The Warriors took a pounding in the field as the Royals piled on 205/6 off their 20 overs. Raymon Reifer (3/50) was the pick of the Amazon bowlers.

Amazon’s middle-order made a good fist of the run chase, Shai Hope top-scoring with 40 off 34 balls and Shimron Hetmyer pounding 28 off 10 balls, but they couldn’t match the big-hitting of the Royals and went down by 32 runs.
