After a thrilling finish to the first match between Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Guyana Amazon Warriors will be hosting the St Lucia Zouks in match no 2 of Caribbean Premier League 2019.
The St Lucia’s franchise has returned with their old name of St Lucia Zouks instead of St Lucia Stars which they used in the last season. They would be hoping to traverse their fortunes as well with a change of name.
Meanwhile, Guyana Amazon Warriors were one of the better sides of the last season as they were the finalists and were unfortunate to end up on the losing side. They would be eyeing to go one step further in this season and get their hands on the coveted trophy.

Fantasy picks from Guyana Amazon Warriors-
Nicholas Pooran was impressive in the recently concluded T20I series against India. He strikes at 120.17 and has scored 274 runs from 14 T20I innings.
Brandon King is also a good aspect in the batting unit as he has 267 runs in 14 T20 innings.
He did pretty well in the last season of CPL and was one of the mainstays in the middle-order. He has amassed 246 runs from 15 T20 innings at a healthy strike-rate of 136.66.
Vastly experienced campaigner Shoaib Malik will definitely have a great impact on this young side. He has played as many as 104 T20I innings and scored 2263 runs.
Imran Tahir had a memorable IPL 2019 where he ended as the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. His form dipped in the World Cup little bit but in this format, he is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Fantasy picks from St Lucia Zouks-
Jonathan Campbell and Andre Fletcher will form a formidable pairing in the top-order. Fletcher is an experienced campaigner in this format as he has stuck 4183 runs from 163 T20 innings which includes 25 scores of fifty plus.
Cameron Delport is a proven T20 performer. He has amassed 4883 runs from 199 innings in T20’s which includes 2 fifties.
Skipper Darren Sammy is not the same anymore what he used to be 3 or 4 years back, but the experienced two-time T20 World Champion is one of the pillars of this team.
