The Trinbago Knight Riders come into this match as one of the form teams of the competition, currently sitting in fourth place on the CPL table with six points from four matches. Their batting lineup has been explosive in delivering match-winning performances.

With his unique variations, Salamkheil has picked up nine wickets in his four matches of this tournament in 2024 and will be key to dismantling Guyana's strong batting unit.
Akeal Hosein offers all-round expertise. The West Indian's ability to perform under pressure makes him a dangerous opponent for any team in the CPL. His previous game included a cameo of 20 runs off 10 balls and two wickets with the ball.
Keacy Carty will play to the correct tempo when he takes on the team from Guyana. He has been a reliable batter in the CPL having accumulated 281 runs with two half-centuries in his nine-match career.

TKR vs GAW Betting Tips
This contest is shaping up to be a cracker with both teams boasting powerful lineups.
While Trinbago Knight Riders come in with solid form and home advantage behind them, the Amazon Warriors have enough firepower to extend their head-to-head record.
Expect a hard-fought contest with both teams putting up strong performances. However, it is the Guyana Amazon Warriors who will likely win this match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Hope has been the backbone of Guyana’s batting and should be safe bet. His ability to shift gears will be crucial. He has shown consistency in 2023 when he smashed 481 runs for the tournament to earn him the player-of-the-series award.
Pretorius’ ability to pick up wickets at key moments make him one of the most dangerous bowlers in Guyana’s lineup. The South African claimed figures of four for 26 in last year's Final. He should be a fairly safe bet, but has a number of other star bowlers around him too.
Carty has been in scintillating form this season. The youngster has 275 runs in his last seven CPL matches, averaging over 50 and striking at just over 140. His ability to accelerate in the middle overs makes him a treat to watch. He is still growing in experience so there is a slight risk to this bet, but his consistency in the CPL this year makes it worth the risk.
The Afghan spinner's control in the middle overs has been crucial for Trinbago this season. His consistency this season makes him a safe bet. Expect him to play a pivotal role once again in claiming key wickets, as he did against the Barbados Royals with three for 13 in four overs.
