St Lucia Zouks vs Guyana Amazon Warriors CPL 2020
Resurgent Guyana Amazon Warriors take on in-form St Lucia Zouks, as the third-placed team look to follow the Zouks and table-topping Trinbago Knight Riders in securing a Caribbean Premier League 2020 play-off place. The match takes place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, on September 2 and the live action starts at 17:30 local time.
Both teams come into this game after low-scoring wins against Barbados Tridents. The Zouks defended 92 in their three-run victory and have generally bowled well this season, helping them to five wins in seven games.
One of those five wins was against Guyana, which triggered a run of three straight defeats for the Amazon Warriors, but they have since bounced back with back-to-back wins. Last time out, they reduced Barbados Tridents to 28/8 before eventually chasing 93 to win by eight wickets. Naveen-ul-Haq starred with the ball and Brandon King with the bat in that win.
