Injuries & Illnesses

Both teams will take to the field at full health in the most important match of them all.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch at Providence Stadium in Guyana is famously slow and spinner-friendly, with low and inconsistent bounce that rewards the spinners. Early innings may provide a bit of pace and carry for pacers. As matches progress, the surface tends to assist spin considerably and makes it a true test of batting technique. The 2024 GSL final was won by the Rangpur Riders batting first.

GAW vs RR Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Nurul Hasan will bring an exciting tempo to his game in the middle. The wicketkeeper-batter will want to channel the spirit of his BPL run. Hasan has 1452 BPL runs.

Batters

Iftikhar Ahmed has a host of international achievements to write home about. With nearly 1000 runs and four half-centuries for Pakistan in the shortest format, he should be highly regarded. Soumya Sarkar has shown an array of skills in the BPL. The left-handed batter has given his side reason to have faith in him with more than 1600 runs in Bangladesh’s premier T20 tournament.

Johnson Charles reigns high and mighty in the West Indies. The veteran T20 batter has more than 3300 CPL runs with 22 fifties. Shimron Hetmyer’s authoritative batting in the middle phase of the game will be influential. The middle-order slogger recently crossed the 5600-run mark in T20s after his 39 runs against the Hurricanes.

All Rounders

Kyle Mayers’ quality has added up over this brief GSL period. The West Indian all-rounder collected 44 runs unbeaten against the Amazon Warriors previously. 38-year-old Moeen Ali has been a part of nearly 400 T20 matches. The experienced Englishman has provided his teams with nearly 7500 runs and over 250 wickets.

Bowlers

Khaled Ahmed’s four-wicket haul against the Amazon Warriors this season gave his side a winning start to their title defence. Rakibul Hasan could be one of the keys to a Rangpur victory. He should have no fears going into this match with more than 50 T20 wickets behind him in his young career.

Amazon Warriors legend Imran Tahir will bring his fans peace when he gets the ball in his hand. The energetic Tahir has more than 100 wickets in the CPL. Gudakesh Motie put together a neat bowling performance against the Riders previously. The left-arm spinner claimed two wickets.

GAW vs RR Captain and Vice-Captain Choices
