SKN vs GUY Dream11 Prediction: One of the pre-tournament favourites Guyana Amazon Warriors have struggled to bill up to the expectations so far. But there is enough time left in the season to still make a statement, starting with today’s clash with St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. This will be 20th match of the season and last match to be played at Queen’s Park Oval. We will preview the match in our Dream11 fantasy cricket.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots face a tough task now to remain in contention for the semi-finals. They have managed to win only one of 6 matches they have played so far. They suffered a convincing defeat from the hands of Jamaica Tallawahs yesterday. Bowling first, captain Rayad Emrit bagged 3 scalps while Ish Sodhi and Imran Khan picked up a wicket each. Imran Khan had an unbelievable outing of 4-1-7-1 but Sheldon Cottrell and Jon-Russ Jaggesar proved expansive as Jamaica posted 147 runs on the board. In reply, the Patriots were forced to open with Kieran Powell and Chris Lynn due to an injury to Evin Lewis. But the result remained same for them as Evin Lewis ran out of partners at number 7 position. St Kitts and Nevis were never really in the game and were bundled out for a mere 110 runs.
Guyana Amazon Warriors are also coming into this match after a loss in their last match against Trinbago Knight Riders. Batting first, Guyana had a terrible start as Brandon King, Chandrapaul Hemraj and Nicholas Pooran all were dismissed on the score of 12 runs. Shimron Hetmyer and Ross Taylor hung around for a while but both failed to kick on. Keemo Paul tried to help with an innings of 28 runs in the end as Guyana Amazon Warriors put 112 on the board. Imran Tahir and Chris Green bowled well but that was always a very tough score to defend against Trinbago Knight Riders batting lineup.
Guyana Amazon Warriors have been ruthless against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots over the years. Guyana have won 9 out of 11 matches played between them while St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have sneaked out on 2 occasions. All of the last 5 encounters between these two sides have gone Guyana’s way. In the first meeting this year, Guyana Amazon Warriors beat the Patriots by 3 wickets earlier.
Pitch and Conditions
Isolated showers are forecast for the afternoon today in Port of Spain. But we should still be able to constitute a match at least as there would be enough breaks between the showers. Pitches are looking tired at Queen’s Park Oval and if the same trend continues, we may get another low-scoring match with spinners dominating the proceedings.

SKN vs GUY Dream11 Team Prediction
Let’s take a look at the expected lineups for both the teams in today match prediction.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Squad
Rayad Emrit (C), Chris Lynn, Evin Lewis, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Ben Dunk, Nicholas Kelly, Joshua Da Silva, Sohail Tanvir, Kieran Powell, Jahman Hamilton, Ish Sodhi, Sheldon Cottrell, Alzarri Joseph, Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Dominic Drakes, Colin Archibald, Imran Khan
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Team News
- St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are likely to go with an unchanged playing XI even after the yesterday’s loss.
- They may want to bring Evin Lewis back at top of the order if he is fit and ready to go for this match. Chris Lynn’s form is one of the major factors in St Kitts’ downfall this year.
- Kieran Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ben Dunk and Nick Kelly will bat in the middle order while Rayad Emrit will play the role of an enforcer in both the departments.
- Ish Sodhi, Imran Khan and Jon-Russ Jaggesar will keep their places but Sohail Tanvir may come back again in the place of Sheldon Cottrell who is not looking at his best in this tournament.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Team News
- Guyana Amazon Warriors are playing with their best possible XI so far but still they can replace some of their out of form players for this match.
- Brandon King’s stocks have declined significantly this season along with his opening partner Chandrapaul Hemraj. This opening pair has been the main worry for the team management this year.
- Sherfane Rutherford has not been able to back up Shimron Hetmyer, Ross Taylor and Nicholas Pooran in the middle order but Guyana will look to continue with him given his credentials in T20 cricket.
- Keemo Paul and Chris Green will be the all-rounders while Romario Shepherd, Naveen-ul-Haq and Imran Tahir will be their specialist bowlers for today’s match.

Captain Picks
For Small Leagues
- Shimron Hetmyer can be an option for the captaincy position from Guyana Amazon Warriors. Although he has been hot and cold after a magnificent start to the season but he can still be the best bet for today’s match. He has good shots against spin and can tackle Ish Sodhi and Imran Khan for his team today.
- If you are looking for an all-rounder from Guyana, then Chris Green can be your pick. Although, he hasn’t looked himself after returning with a remodeled action but he has had a reasonable season till now with conditions to his liking.
- Rayad Emrit has continued his good form even during the match against Jamaica Tallawahs yesterday. He picked up 3 in that match and bowled economically. He is the best option available from the under-performing Patriots.
For Grand Leagues
- Imran Tahir is a safe option for the grand leagues. He has bulk of experience in T20 cricket and rarely goes wicket-less in a match. Especially due to slowness of the pitches here, he almost guarantees you some points.
- In the last match, Evin Lewis batted at number 7 position due to an injury but it is highly unlikely that the same will be continued today if he plays. He will bat at the top and that’s where he can be dangerous as we have seen in the match against the Tridents earlier.
- With spinners dominating the play, Imran Khan from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will be a very good option in the grand leagues. He gave away only 7 runs from his 4 overs yesterday and also picked up a wicket. A bit low-profiled but a value for money candidate.
Who will win SKN vs GUY Today Match Prediction?
As per our Dream11 predictions, Guyana Amazon Warriors are primed to win this match against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots today. The Patriots are looking like weakest team in the season and have their work cut out again today to make something out of this match. On the other hand, Guyana Amazon Warriors should win this encounter if they play according to their potentials.
