GAW vs RR Team Previews

Guyana Amazon Warriors

The Guyana Amazon Warriors weren’t in the best of form last season as they managed to win only two of the four games they played, and failed to make it to the finals. However, they are among the most consistent teams in the Caribbean Premier League and we expect them to bounce back here.

Imran Tahir is set to reprise his role as the captain of the team. He was in excellent form with the ball last year as he picked up 8 wickets and will hope to contribute well this year as well. He has the support of Akeal Hosein, Moeen Ali, and Gudakesh Motie in the spin department.

The pace department looks pretty solid as well, thanks to the presence of Mark Adair, Dwaine Pretorius, and Shamar Springer. Coming to the batting, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Evin Lewis are likely to open for the Amazon Warriors. They are both known for an explosive brand of batting and if they get going, Guyana could post a big total.

The middle order is pretty solid as well and is likely to feature Shimron Hetmeyer, Romario Shepherd, and David Weise.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Expected Playing 11

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmeyer, Romario Shepherd, Moeen Ali, David Weise, Akeal Hosein, Imran Tahir (C), Dwaine Pretorius. Shamar Springer

Rangpur Riders

The Rangpur Riders are the winners of the inaugural season of the Global Super League. In 2024, they finished second on the points table and went on to defeat Victoria in the finals.

The Riders have seen quite a few changes in the squad from the time they won the trophy. While Nurul Hasan continues to lead the team, the likes of Zak Chappell, Matthew Forde, and Mahedi Hasan are missing. Nevertheless, they have brought in enough firepower to cover for these losses.

The batting line-up is likely to be studded by the likes of Ibrahim Zadran, Yasir Ali, Soumya Sarkar, and Mohammad Naim. However, the team’s biggest strength comes from the all-rounders it possesses. Azmatullah Omarzai, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Kyle Mayers.

Not only are they quality batsmen but they can also play a vital role with the ball. Rakibul Hasan and Tabraiz Shamsi are the two specialist spinners in the squad while Kamrul Islam and Akif Javed could lead the attack with the new ball.

Rangpur Riders Expected Playing 11

Nurul Hasan (C & WK), Ibrahim Zadran, Iftikhar Ahmed, Soumya Sarkar, Yasir Ali, Kyle Mayers, Azmatullah Omarzai, Tabraiz Shamsi, Akif Javed, Kamrul Islam, Mahidul Islam Ankon

GAW vs RR Toss Prediction

7 of the last 10 matches played here were won while batting first. In 6 of those times, the captain winning the toss opted to field first. However, we feel that batting first might be a better option.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Providence Stadium is likely to be balanced. There is a good amount of pace and bounce early on in the game, allowing the batsmen to play their shots. However, as the match progresses, the surface is likely to slow down, aiding the spinners. Anything over 180 will get difficult to chase.

The weather is likely to remain overcast and there is a high probability that we will see some interruptions due to rain.

GAW vs RR: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Rangpur Riders to win this match. They have a strong team at their disposal with some quality all-rounders. That said, Guyana will undoubtedly put up a strong fight and we can expect a close contest. The odds currently available on Rangpur Riders make it worth the risk to bet on them.

Bet on the Rangpur Riders to win this match.

GAW vs RR win percentage stands at 62% in favor of GAW.
