GAW vs SLK Team Previews
Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Guyana Amazon Warriors are among the most consistent teams this season and were the first to book a play in the playoffs. They also enjoyed the best NRR among all teams and finished at the top of the points table.
The Amazon Kings will rely on its strong batting unit to fire up and propel them to a big score. Shimron Hetmeyer has been the most consistent performer with the bat, scoring 4 half-centuries in 10 innings. He is also the leading run-scorer for the Kings.
Hetmyer will have the support of Shai Hope and Keemo Paul in the middle order, while all-rounders Dwaine Pretorius and Moeen Ali can play some big shots in the death overs. The opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Kevlon Anderson will need to give the team a brisk start to lay a strong foundation.
The bowlers, especially the spinners, have done an incredible job so far. Gudakesh Motie, Imran Tahir, and Moeen Ali have picked up 41 wickets between them. Shamar Joseph and Pretorius will lead the pace attack. The latter picked up 3 wickets in the previous game and looked in good form.

St Lucia Kings
Just like their opponents, the St. Lucia Kings have also lost just 3 matches during the group stages to finish in the top-two slots. However, a point worth noting is the fact that two of those losses have come against Guyana.
The opening pair of Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis has been pretty consistent throughout this season and the team will expect yet another good start from them. The middle order has been a bit of a hit or miss and that is one area of concern for St. Lucia, especially if the opening pair falls early.
That said, there is plenty of talent in the form of Ackeem Auguste, Tim Seifert, Aaron Jones, and Roston Chase. The bowlers have done an excellent job as well. Noor Ahmad is the leading wicket-taker of the season with 18 wickets and will be joined by Khary Pierre and Roston Chase in the spin attack.
David Weise and Alzarri Joseph are likely to lead the attack with the new ball. They have picked up 25 wickets between them.

Pitch and Conditions
The Providence Stadium usually offers a good batting track and we are expecting a similar pitch for this game as well. The surface is flat with consistent bounce and the ball comes nicely onto the bat. The team batting first will aim for over 190 runs here. The pitch does slow down a bit as the match progresses and assists the spinners.
The weather is expected to be clear with temperatures of under 30 degrees.
GAW vs SLK Betting Tips
Both teams have played some excellent cricket to finish as the top two teams on the table and there is no clear favorite to win this match. That said, we feel that the Guyana Amazon Warriors have a slight edge in this contest. They have a strong batting line-up and one of the strongest spin attacks in the league.
Bet on the Guyana Amazon Warriors to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis are the most successful opening pair this season. Together, they have scored 446 runs at an average of 44.60. On the other hand, Guyana is yet to find a stable opening pair.
Johnson Charles has been one of the most consistent performers with the bat and has scored an average of 40.66 runs this season. He has scored at least 22 runs in 5 of his last 7 innings and we are backing him to play another good knock here.
