Trinbago Knight Riders vs Guyana Amazon Warriors, CPL T20
High-flying, unbeaten league leaders Trinbago Knight Riders take on Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 2020 Caribbean Premier League, bidding to continue their winning start to the tournament. The match, at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, takes place on August 27 and the live action starts at 17:30 local time.
Trinbago Knight Riders beat Guyana Amazon Warriors in the opening game of this tournament and they have won three from three since too. Darren Bravo has top-scored in each of the last two wins, while Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo have all played key roles – the latter becoming the first man to take 500 T20 wickets as he claimed 2-7 last time out.
Guyana Amazon Warriors, meanwhile, bounced back from that opening loss with two wins but their batting fell short against Jamaica Tallawahs. After a low-scoring win against the same opposition when they previously met this season, Guyana could not repeat the trick last time out as they fell to a five-wicket loss after scoring just 108/9. It was their second consecutive loss, after also losing to St Lucia Zouks.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
Trinbago Team News
Veteran Pravin Tambe made history as the CPL’s first Indian player last time out, but the 48-year-old spinner’s single over – albeit including a wicket – was an expensive one and he could make way again. Jayden Seales was the man replaced last time out, while Tion Webster replaced Sunil Narine. If Narine is fit to return, Tambe is unlikely to play.
Trinbago Key Players
- Colin Munro: Ticking along nicely with the ball, with scores of 49* and 50 in the two previous games, before hitting 17 from just eight balls in his brief flurry last time out.
- Dwayne Bravo: A below-par performance last time out, but his longevity and quality is proved by the fact he is on 499 career wickets in T20 cricket – more than any other player ever.
- Darren Bravo: Top-scored with 23* from 13 balls last time out and he also hit 54* from 36 balls in the previous game.
Trinbago Team Form
Trinbago Knight Riders have won four from four so far. Sunil Narine hit half-centuries in the first two wins, against Guyana Amazon Warriors and Jamaica Tallawahs, before Colin Munro and Darren Bravo reached 50 as they beat Barbados Tridents by 19 runs next up.
Last time out, Dwayne Bravo passed 500 career wickets in T20 cricket with excellent figures of 2-7 from his three overs, and Darren Bravo ensured a rain-reduced chase of 72 to win in nine overs proved no worries – the Knight Riders won by six wickets with an over to spare.

Guyana Team News
Chandrapaul Hemraj missed out last time as Guyana tweaked the batting line-up, but he could return for this match of CPL, after Anthony Bramble failed to find any fluency at the top of the batting order.
Guyana Key Players
- Imran Tahir: Despite the defeat last time out, the veteran leggie did still claim his ninth wicket of this season’s tournament so far.
- Shimron Hetmyer: Hit a half-century when these teams last met and another in the second game and, if he can get back to that batting form, he can lift the Amazon Warriors back to winning ways.
- Brandon King: Last season’s top runscorer needs to start showing that form again at the top of the order – if he does, Guyana’s batting worries will be eased.
Guyana Team Form
Guyana’s low-scoring loss to Jamaica Tallawahs last time out, after posting just 108/9, was their second in a row and third in five games so far. They had previously fallen short chasing 145 to beat St Lucia Zouks, hitting 134/8 despite Nicholas Pooran hitting 68 from 49 balls.
