GAW vs SNP Match Preview
The Guyana Amazon Warriors team played their last game in the competition against Trinbago Knight Riders. This was also a night game and was played in Port of Spain. GAW batted first in this contest to raise a score of 148 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Trinbago Knight Riders chased this target in 19.2 overs for the loss of five wickets. The Guyana inning was off to a terrible start, with the only notable contribution coming from Tim Robinson. He scored 34 runs from 28 balls with four boundaries.
At one stage, GAW men were 76 for seven. However, Romario Shepherd and Dwaine Pretorius took the team to a decent total with contributions of 51 and 21. These two hoped to snatch a win with an unbeaten partnership of 72 runs for the eighth wicket. The Guyana bowlers made a game effort to restrict their opposition. They quickly reduced the opposition to 89 for five when Nicholas Pooran departed. The top Amazon bowler in this contest was Nathan Sowter, who picked up two wickets. He was aided by Moeen Ali, Shamar Joseph, and Keemo Paul who picked up one scalp each.
Patriots are going into this game after losing five games in a row in CPL 2024. They have an atrocious record in the league phase of the competition and have practically no hopes of advancing to the playoffs. They played their last game in the tournament against Barbados Royals. Batting first, the STKNP batters manage a modest score of 110 runs in Bridgetown. Barbados Royals made light work of this target and chased it easily in 11.2 overs with as many as nine wickets to spare. Rahkeem Cornwall ran through the STKNP middle order, leaving them with a small total on the board.
After the early loss of wickets, the only STKNP batters that did a reasonable job were their skipper Andre Fletcher, Joshua Da Silva, and Anrich Nortje. However, their contributions were small and could not take their team to a total that could be defended. Barbados batters hammered the STKNP bowlers, taking them to an easy win. All the STKNP bowlers were taken to the cleaners during the Barbados reply. The only bowler that picked up a wicket was the Sri Lankan import Wanindu Hasaranga.
Weather Report
We are expecting clear skies for this contest. The temperature will be close to 28 degrees, and the conditions are likely to be humid. The clear skies also mean there will not be showers during the contest, and a full game of cricket is expected.

Dream11 Prediction
Although Guyana is currently in the fourth spot in the points table, they have played three fewer games than SKNPT. They have already recorded three wins in the competition from five games. SNKPT has lost seven out of its last eight games. But another factor to consider is that Guyana has lost its previous two games in a row. All in all, you can expect Guyana to win this encounter.
