GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St Lucia Zouks CPL T20 23 August

GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Prediction: The points table in Caribbean Premier League is getting very interesting as we move on. In the 10^th match of the season, Guyana Amazon Warriors will take on St Lucia Zouks on Sunday. Both teams are coming into this match after their victories yesterday. Whichever team wins this particular match will have a clear advantage in their standings. We will preview the match in our Dream11 fantasy cricket.

Guyana Amazon Warriors have come back strongly after losing their first match against TKR. They have been on the right sides in the last two matches. They defended the lowest total in CPL history to beat Jamaica Tallawahs yesterday. Batting first, Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj started the innings brilliantly and put on a quick-fire 56 runs for the opening stand. But after that they faced a terrible middle-order collapse and they couldn’t recover from that. Only Ross Taylor was able to put some sort of resistance with his 21 runs. Guyana were bundled out for 118 runs. In bowling, captain Chris Green struck on the first ball of the innings followed by a couple of other scalps in the next two overs. Slower bowlers spun a web around Jamaica batsmen and the target of 119 was looking like a mountain to climb. Only Andre Russell was the real threat for the Warriors but the target was out of even his reach in the sluggish conditions. Guyana won the match by 14 runs in the end to bag two crucial points.

St Lucia Zouks have surprised a lot of experts by their performances in the league so far. After beating the defending champions Barbados Tridents in the second match, they outperformed St Kitts and Nevis Patriots yesterday. Andre Fletcher looked in really good touch as he made 46 runs from 33 balls. He was finding the gaps with precision against the Patriots. Mark Deyal is already looking like a find of the tournament with his big-hitting abilities. The Afghan duo of Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi contributed with 28 & 35 respectively as the Zouks posted 172 runs on the board. In reply, St Lucia bowlers picked up wickets at regular intervals and the Patriots were never really in the game. Scott Kuggeleijn was the star with 4 wickets while Roston Chase scalped 3 Patriots.

In Head-to-Head comparisons, Guyana Amazon Warriors have dominated the Zouks as per historical data. Guyana have won 9 out 13 matches played between them while St Lucia have taken 4 games. In last 5 matches also, Guyana Amazon Warriors have come out victorious on 4 occasions. Clearly, St Lucia Zouks need to bring their ‘A-game’ if they have any chances of surprising the Warriors.

Pitch and Conditions

There are some showers predicted in the afternoon but that should clear up very quickly. After that, clear skies and sunny spells are expected. In terms of playing surface, the same pitch from the yesterday will be in use again. There are patches of grass on the pitch and that may provide some extra bounce to the spinners. All in all, spinners will be dominating the proceedings as per the season so far.

GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Team Prediction

Let’s go through the possible playing XIs for both the teams in today match prediction.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Squad

Chris Green (C), Brandon King, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shimron Hetmyer, Kevin Sinclair, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ross Taylor, Sherfane Rutherford, Keemo Paul, Kissoodath Magram, Romario Shepherd, Ashmead Nedd, Naveen-ul-Haq, Imran Tahir, Odean Smith, Anthony Bramble, Jessy Singh

Guyana Amazon Warriors Team News

• Guyana Amazon Warriors are expected to field the same playing XI from yesterday unless late injuries to any of the players.
• Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj have started to find their batting mojo and both looked good in their short stay against the Tallawahs. But Team management would be hoping for a consolidation from both of them.
• Guyana middle-order is as strong as they get in this year’s CPL. Shimron Hetmyer, Ross Taylor, Nicholas Pooran and Sherfane Rutherford are all match-winners in T20 cricket. While Shimron Hetmyer and Ross Taylor have contributed significantly but Nicholas Pooran and Sherfane Rutherford have struggled so far and both need a score very soon.
• Keemo Paul and Chris Green are multi-dimensional players and conditions are according to their likings as well. Ashmead Nedd played yesterday due to emerging player’s rule and he is likely to continue today as well along with Imran Tahir and Naveen-ul-Haq in the XI.

St Lucia Zouks Team News

• Rahkeem Cornwell’s fitness is the only concern for St Lucia Zouks going into this match. If he is not fit then they will be forced to name a replacement for him in the XI.
• In the batting lineup, Andre Fletcher, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Mark Deyal and Roston Chase all have been in reasonable form so far in the tournament. The main concern for them is the form of captain Daren Sammy.
• Specialist bowlers in Scott Kuggeleijn, Kesrick Williams, Obed McCoy and Saad Bin Zafar are enjoying very good support from their all-rounders in the Zouks lineup.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Shimron Hetmyer should be backed even after a duck against Jamaica Tallawahs in the last match. He has been in supreme touch of late and his ability to play spin well will help him to navigate the likes of Mohammad Nabi, Roston Chase and Saad Bin Zafar easily in the middle overs.
• Chris Green is emerging as a genuine choice for the captaincy position in fantasy leagues. All the doubts about his remodeled action have now been cleared with a couple of very good outings with the ball. He can also add useful runs down the order for Guyana. He returned with 2-10 from 3 overs in the last match.
• Mohammad Nabi needs no introduction in the arena of T20 cricket. Experienced Afghanistan international is a package that any T20 team would love to have in their ranks. He made 35* and also picked up a wicket in an economical spell of spin-bowling against the Patriots. Clearly, he is a mandatory option for any of your teams.

For Grand Leagues

• Keemo Paul is a similar option to Chris Green from Guyana Amazon Warriors. He is among the wickets in this tournament and can use the long handle in finishing the batting exercise for his team. Looking at the tired pitch, Keemo Paul is a reliable option in the grand leagues.
• Roston Chase is a surprise performer of the Zouks this season. He is taking cheap wickets in almost all the matches while he has already hit a half-century in the first match of the season. He took 3 scalps for just 12 runs against the Patriots.
• Scott Kuggeleijn has prospered in these sluggish conditions so far. He has plenty of variations up his sleeves. He may not look that effective for a captain’s pick but he always ends up picking up wickets from his quota of overs. He is coming into this match with a 4-wicket spell in the last match against St Kitts.

Who will win GUY vs SLZ Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream11 predictions, Guyana Amazon Warriors are firm favourites to win this match. St Lucia Zouks have to produce something very special to challenge their opponents this time around. However, the Zouks have enough match-winners in their ranks to make this contest interesting.
