TKR vs GAW Team Previews
Trinbago Knight Riders
The Trinbago Knight Riders have 7 points from 5 matches and are 3rd on the points table. The team has won each of its last 3 matches and will hope to continue with the good work.
The Knight Riders have one of the strongest batting line-ups in the league and as expected, that has been one of their biggest strengths. Kieron Pollard has led his team from the front and is their top run-getter so far. He will be an important player during the death overs.
Mark Deyal and Martin Guptill opened the batting in the last match and put up a brisk partnership of 58 runs. They are likely to start the innings with the bat once again.
In addition, the Knight Riders will depend on the likes of Nicholas Pooran and Lorcan Tucker to keep the runs flowing during the middle overs. Andre Russell has been very accurate with the ball, picking up 8 wickets. He will be the key bowler during the death overs alongside Dwayne Bravo.
Sunil Narine has found good support from chinaman Waqar Salamkheil and together they have picked up 12 wickets.

Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Amazon Warriors have played just 4 matches so far, the least among all teams, and are second on the points table. They have the same number of points as the Knight Riders and the Barbados Royals but have the best NRR among the lot, which is a big positive for them.
Much of the Warriors’ success has been powered by an excellent batting performance by middle-order batsmen Keemo Paul and Shimron Hetmeyer. They are striking the ball well and have a good strike rate. Saim Ayub and Shai Hope have done a decent job at the top of the order but the team will expect more from Hazaratullah Zazai and Azam Khan.
Dwaine Pretorius has done a good well with the bat and the ball, picking up 6 wickets and scoring 45 runs. His all-round performance in the last match helped the Amazon Warriors score a thumping win over the Patriots.
Pretorius will open with the new ball alongside Romario Shepherd, while Imran Tahir, Gudakesh Motie, and Junior Sinclair are 3 quality spinners on the team.
