GUY vs SKN Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St Kitts & Nevis Patriots CPL T20 20 August

GUY vs SKN Dream11 Prediction: So, the T20 extravaganza has finally kicked-off in the Caribbean islands. Even without the crowds, CPL is easily one of the most exciting T20 competitions going around in world cricket at the moment. Guyana Amazon Warriors will take on St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the match 4 of CPL 2020 at Tarouba. Let’s go through our Dream11 fantasy cricket preview.

Both the teams are coming into this match after losing their respective first matches. Guyana Amazon Warriors came up short against TKR in the opening match of the season. Shimron Hetmyer was the star with the bat for GUY with an unbeaten 63. Ross Taylor also made a useful contribution. Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj both got out early but more significant contributions are expected from them in the next match. In bowling department, Naveen-ul-Haq and Imran Tahir were impressive but they were lacking support from the other end.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots failed to chase down 153 runs against Barbados Tridents yesterday. Sohail Tanvir, Sheldon Cottrell and captain Rayad Emrit picked up two wickets each with the ball. In reply, only Joshua Da Silva and Ben Dunk were able to put on some resistance while Evin Lewis and Chris Lynn got dismissed cheaply. In the end, they fell short by six runs.

In Head-to-Head comparisons, Guyana Amazon Warriors are leading comfortably against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. GUY have won 8 out 10 matches played between them. In recent history as well, Guyana came out victorious on 4 occasions out of last 5 encounters. Clearly, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots need to produce something very special to turn the records around this season.      

Pitch and Conditions

The weather is expected to clear after the afternoon showers on the match-day. But this is the second match of the day, so used pitch will be in play for this clash. St Kitts & Nevis Patriots would know how difficult it is to chase down a score in such circumstances from their experience yesterday. Clearly, win the toss and bat first and then bring your slower bowlers into play later.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Team News

• Even after the loss against TKR, Guyana Amazon Warriors are expected to go unchanged in this clash against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
• Brandon King was the highest run-scorer last year for Guyana but he was dismissed on a duck in the first match. Still he is an important cog in their wheels along with Chandrapaul Hemraj.
• With Ross Taylor getting some runs along with Shimron Hetmyer yesterday, the middle order is looking solid for Guyana with Nicholas Pooran and Sherfane Rutherford also featuring.
• In bowling department, Chris Green was expansive in the comeback match after the remodeled action. But you still have to give few matches to him before he comes back to his best. Imran Tahir and Naveen-ul-Haq were outstanding in the opening encounter.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots Team News

• Same as Guyana, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will not be comfortable making changes in the playing XI after just one game.
• Only Joshua Da Silva and Ben Dunk looked good with the bat and Patriots would be hoping that Evin Lewis and Chris Lynn find their timing very early in the season. Denesh Ramdin is also in search of some runs in T20 cricket.
• Bowling lineup of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots is more or less settled with world class operators in Sohail Tanvir, Ish Sodhi, Sheldon Cottrell and Alzarri Joseph up their sleeves.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Shimron Hetmyer is a straight forward pick as he is coming into this match after an excellent start to the season. He slammed 63 runs from just 44 balls against TKR including two fours and two sixes.
• Naveen-ul-Haq had a really good outing in a lost cause against TKR. He bowled brilliantly with the new ball as well as at the later stages. He ended up with 2-21 from his 3.4 overs.
• Sohail Tanvir has been in his own for last couple of seasons of CPL as well as PSL. He began very well here this year also. He picked up 2-25 with the ball and made 16* with the bat. He can be a great choice with his all-round abilities.

For Grand Leagues

• Given his T20 credentials, you can still put your punt on Chris Lynn. He started his innings well but could not capitalize on it. He deserves another go at least for the grand leagues.
• Nicholas Pooran was dismissed for 18 runs in the last match but he can be crucial for Guyana against St Kitts and Nevis. Being a left-hander, he can easily counter the threat of leg-spinner Ish Sodhi.
• Although Imran Tahir proved to be costly against TKR, he still picked up two scalps. He was not at his best but still ended up with reasonable figures. Given the second match of the day on same pitch, it will be very difficult for the Patriots to handle him.

Who will win GUY vs SKN Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream 11 prediction, Guyana Amazon Warriors is looking a very strong side for this CPL 2020. They will be looking to bounce back after the loss in the first match. On the other hand, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots do have some good players but Guyana Amazon Warriors have been primed to win this encounter.
