BR vs GAW Team Previews
Barbados Royals
The Barbados Royals come into this match with a balanced and dangerous squad that has the potential to upset the home side.
Maheesh Theekshana, the mystery spinner from Sri Lanka, will play a crucial role for the Royals on the spinning track at Providence. His ability to confuse batters with his variations could prove to be a game-changer, especially as the pitch slows down later in the game.
Complementing Theekshana in the bowling department is Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, who has been a consistent performer throughout the season. Naveen's death bowling of pinpoint accuracy and ability to execute yorkers will be vital in containing the powerful Guyana batting lineup. Both Theekshana and ul-Haq grabbed a wicket each in their last game.
The Royals will also look to David Miller, the South African veteran, to provide stability and firepower in the middle-order. Miller, known for his aggressive strokeplay and calm demeanour under pressure, will be key in ensuring the Royals either chase down a target or post a competitive score. His ability to pace the innings and accelerate at the death overs makes him one of the most dangerous batters in T20 cricket. He hit a 17-ball unbeaten 50 to guide the Royals home against the Trinbago Knight Riders.

Quinton de Kock, Kadeem Alleyne, Rahkeem Cornwall, Alick Athanaze, Rovman Powell, David Miller, Jason Holder, Obed McCoy, Ramon Simmonds, Maheesh Theekshana, Naveen ul Haq.
Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Guyana Amazon Warriors, on their home turf, will be looking to their big stars to deliver in this must-win match. They would emulate 2023 if they secure another home Final with a win.
Shimron Hetmyer, one of the most explosive batters in the CPL, will be crucial in the middle-order. Known for his ability to clear the ropes with ease, Hetmyer can change the course of the game in just a few overs. His familiarity with the conditions at Providence Stadium will be an added advantage, making him a key player for the Amazon Warriors. He blitzed an 18-ball 37 not out against the Kings.
Coming in at number three in the batting lineup, Shai Hope brings stability and consistency to the Amazon Warriors' lineup. Hope’s solid technique and ability to play long innings will be crucial in setting up a platform for the more aggressive players to follow. His experience in international cricket gives him the temperament needed to handle the pressure of a knockout game. He has two half-centuries this CPL campaign.
Another important figure for the home team is Moeen Ali, the English all-rounder. Ali’s off-spin will be crucial on a pitch that is expected to assist spinners and his explosive batting in the middle-order batting adds depth to his team's lineup. His versatility as both a bowler and a batter makes him a valuable asset in both innings of the game. Ali took two wickets against the Kings.

Pitch and Conditions
Providence Stadium is known for its spin-friendly conditions, particularly in the latter stages of the match. The pitch usually starts off being good for batting, but will become a better surface to bowl on for the spinners. This is where bowlers like Maheesh Theekshana and Moeen Ali could have a significant impact.
A target around the 175-run mark could be competitive, especially given the quality of spinners on both sides. The previous first innings score on this ground was 198 for five in 20 overs by the St Lucia Kings.
The weather is expected to have scattered thunderstorms earlier in the day. There is an 11 percent chance of rain at the time of the match. Temperatures will be hot and humid.
BR vs GAW Betting Tips
This match is set to be a thrilling contest between two well-balanced teams with their share of match-winners.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors, with their powerful batting lineup led by Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope, along with the all-round capabilities of Moeen Ali, will be eager to capitalise on home advantage.
With a place in the CPL final at stake, both teams will leave no stone unturned in their quest for victory. The Barbados Royals with their winning form could win again.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The West Indian batter is a good shout to be the top run-scorer in this match. Hope brings class and style to the crease. He hit 71 runs against the Royals at Providence Stadium earlier this competition. He would be worth picking.
This is a reasonable bet. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Keemo Paul scored 22 runs for the first-wicket partnership against the Kings. They are also two batters who will be familiar to conditions.
This is a worthwhile bet. The Royals may take a moderately cautious approach in the powerplay to adjust to conditions.
