Here's the match preview for the clash between St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Guyana Amazon Warriors:
Team News:
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:
The team lost both their opening matches and their third clash got called off due to rain. This will be a crucial match for the Patriots given that they are yet to clinch a win in the ongoing season of the Caribbean Premier League 2022.
Players to watch out for:
1) Andre Fletcher:
The wicketkeeper will be crucial for the Patriots and will look to emulate the innings against Barbados Royals. The batter will look to fire from the start as he'll be given the task to open the innings for his team. His contribution will be vital for his team.
2) Dwyane Bravo:
Dwayne Bravo, the skipper will be crucial with the bat and the ball. Although he has had a mediocre run in the league so far, he'll look to go big in the match against the Warriors. The all-rounder's slower balls might come in handy at St Kitts.
3) Darren Bravo:
The southpaw has not fired so far and he'll look to get the touch back tomorrow. The match against the Warriors will be crucial for him to retain his spot in the playing XI.
Predicted Playing XI: Andre Fletcher, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Darren Bravo, Sherfane Rutherford, Dewald Brewis, Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo (c), Duan Jansen, Sheldon Cottrell, JC Carmichael, Akila Dhananjaya
Guyana Amazon Warriors:
Guyana Amazon Warriors are yet to open the account in the ongoing league and they will look to do so in tomorrow's match. The match against the Patriots will be vital to take the team forward and a win here might give them momentum.
Players to watch out for:
1) Shimron Hetmyer:
The southpaw will be the one to watch out for in tomorrow's match. He will look to go big and if at all he does, then it might end up becoming dangerous for the opposition.
2) Jermaine Blackwood:
The middle-order batter will be important for the team. He showed his class earlier and the Caribbean will leave no stone unturned to get things done for his team.
3) Colin Ingram:
The left-hander will have to contribute with the bat if at all the team need to win the match tomorrow. The southpaw has not contributed much to his team so far and it will be important for him to get some runs under his belt.
