GAW vs SLK Match Preview
The Amazon Kings will depend on their formidable batting lineup to ignite their innings and achieve a substantial total. Shimron Hetmyer has emerged as the most reliable batsman, having scored four half-centuries in ten innings.
He is undoubtedly a prime candidate for any Dream11 selection.
Hetmyer will be bolstered by Shai Hope and Keemo Paul in the middle order, while all-rounders Dwaine Pretorius and Moeen Ali are capable of delivering powerful shots during the final overs.
The opening duo of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Kevlon Anderson must provide a swift start to establish a solid base for the team.
The bowlers, particularly the spinners, have performed exceptionally well thus far. Gudakesh Motie, Imran Tahir, and Moeen Ali have collectively taken 41 wickets. Shamar Joseph and Pretorius will spearhead the pace attack, with the latter having claimed three wickets in the last match and demonstrating good form.
The St. Lucia Kings have seen a commendable level of consistency from their opening duo, Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis, throughout the current season, and the team anticipates another strong performance from them.
Selecting both players for the Dream11 team is a logical choice, particularly if one believes the Kings have a favorable chance of securing victory.
However, the middle order has exhibited inconsistency, which raises concerns for St. Lucia, especially in the event that the opening pair is dismissed early.
Noor Ahmad stands out as the leading wicket-taker of the season with 18 wickets, supported by Khary Pierre and Roston Chase in the spin department.
David Weise and Alzarri Joseph are expected to spearhead the bowling attack with the new ball, having collectively taken 25 wickets thus far.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to be clear with temperatures of under 30 degrees.
Pitch Report
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.
