BR vs GAW Team Previews
Barbados Royals
The Barbados Royals enter this encounter in promising form, having secured key victories early in the season. They have won three consecutive matches in their first three fixtures for 2024. Their strength lies in their balanced squad, with a mix of experienced campaigners and rising stars. They will need to be at their best against the in-form Guyana Amazon Warriors, who boast a powerful lineup with both bat and ball.
West Indian batter Alick Athanaze returns back into their ranks after recovering from injury. He provides top-order batting and remains a threat once he gets his eye in. He hit 34 runs off 29 balls against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in a batting effort which saw them secure victory.
The Royals’ bowling attack will feature Afghan Naveen-ul-Haq. The right-arm medium-fast bowler will bring a variety of skills both with the newer ball and after the powerplay. He took two wickets against the Falcons.
South African Quinton de Kock has a T20 power-hitting game in a league of its own. His run-scoring ability and knack for starring in games make him a crucial player for Barbados. The wicketkeeper-batter hit 48 off 30 against the Falcons.

Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Guyana Amazon Warriors have made a strong start to CPL 2024, boasting a star-studded lineup that includes key players. With three wins in their first three games, the Amazon Warriors have shown they are a force to be reckoned with this season.
One of the Warriors' biggest threats is Shimron Hetmyer, whose explosive batting at the top of the order can change the course of the match. Hetmyer has amassed 186 runs in his last ten CPL games, averaging over 30 and maintaining an impressive strike rate over 160.
The Warriors' bowling attack is led by veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir, who has been a match-winner with his ability to take crucial wickets at important junctures. Tahir’s experience and consistency have made him one of the most feared bowlers in the tournament. He took three wickets in their last game and will be eager to repeat that performance against the Royals.
Another key player for Guyana is Keemo Paul, whose all-round abilities add depth to the team. Paul has contributed significantly with both bat and ball, playing a vital role in the Warriors' victories so far. He took two wickets against the St Lucia Kings.

Pitch and Conditions
The Kensington Oval pitch generally offers early assistance to fast bowlers with some movement off the surface in the opening overs. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to flatten out and make batting easier, especially for power-hitters in the middle and late overs. Spinners can also find some purchase during the middle and later stages of the match.
Weather-wise, the forecast doesn't look favourable before the game, but there is only a 19 percent chance of rain at the scheduled start time. The temperature will be hot and humid, typical of the Caribbean climate.
The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons scored 176 for five in 20 overs in the first innings of their game against the Barbados Royals. The target was revised by the DLS Method and would have been an interesting chase had the game gone the full 40 overs. Anything between 170 to 190 runs in the first innings could be competitive.
BR vs GAW Betting Tips
Neither side will give an inch in a game which could go either way. Both teams have started the tournament like a house on fire with multiple wins.
The Guyana Amazon Warriors are the defending champions from CPL 2023. They were brutal in last year's Final and have shown no signs of letting gup this year either.
The Barbados Royals will be a good test for the Guyana Amazon Warriors, but ultimately the current champions could walk away as the winners.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Hetmyer’s recent form and aggressive batting style make him the most likely top scorer for the Amazon Warriors. There is a bit of risk to this bet, but he could come off this match. With his ability to anchor an innings and explode towards the end, he will be a key figure in Guyana’s batting lineup. He scored 91 runs against the Patriots.
Tahir’s consistency and wicket-taking ability in the middle overs make him a solid pick for top bowler. This should be a safe bet. His experience and guile with the ball will challenge the Royals' batters, especially under the lights. He has 20 wickets in his last ten CPL games.
The South African has been a much fancied name on the T20 circuit for over a decade. He has a high score of 87 not out this season in a CPL career constituting over 350 runs. His consistency makes him a safe bet.
The young quick bowler will be a test for his opposing batters. Ul-Haq has plied his trade in the world's biggest T20 leagues. He has six four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul in T20 cricket. There is a slight element of risk to this bet.
