Trinbago vs Guyana Preview & Prediction

Smith and Guptill got their team off to a flier the other night, and the openers will be backed again to replicate this performance against the Knight Riders. Smith was outstanding in his 36-ball 62 and he is going to be the strongest contender for a top-batsman bet. Jason Mohammed's heroic knock of 42 off 29 balls took Guyana over the line and he will be the key element in their middle-order batting. With the bat, it is going to be their top four who will have to do most of the scoring.

Sohail Tanvir bowled an exceptional spell of 4 for 20 in four overs to leave St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in shambles. The fast bowler didn't give much away either and he can dangerous at the death. Zampa did exactly what was expected of him. The in-form leg-spinner took three wickets, two of which were big scalps in du Plessis and Hodge. Bishoo might have went wicketless on Thursday, but he too can be a tricky customer in these conditions. When it's time for them to bowl, Guyana will be counting on these three the most.

Our Prediction

Trinbago Knight Riders and Guyana Amazon Warriors have gone head-to-head eight times with both winning four games each. However, the former will have an edge playing at the Queen's Park Oval - their home ground, where they have defeated Guyana three times in four fixtures. Moreover, the last two games played here between the two sides have been won by the Knight Riders. But this year, they haven't had the kind of start they were looking for as they lost their first match against St Lucia Zouks at this very venue. The Warriors, on the contrary, have begun the season with a win and they already seem to be 'the team to beat' in this competition.

Though both sides hold an excellent record in the CPL, we feel that Guyana Amazon Warriors have a slightly better chance of winning this time.
