GUY vs JAM Dream11 Prediction: This year’s Caribbean Premier League has produced some exciting cricket so far. In continuation of that, Guyana Amazon Warriors will lock horns with Jamaica Tallawahs in the 8th match of the season. This round of matches is currently being played at The Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba. Both teams are in similar positions in points table at the moment. Let’s take a look at our Dream11 fantasy preview for this match.
After losing the opening match against TKR, Guyana Amazon Warriors have pulled up their game and beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in their last game. Bowlers set up the match for them bowling first. Captain Chris Green looked at his usual best while Imran Tahir and Keemo Paul ran riot from the other end. Imran Tahir took 2 while Keemo Paul picked up 4 wickets to destroy the Patriots. In reply, Shimron Hetmyer led the way with an innings of 71 runs. Other batsmen struggled on a slow pitch but the target wasn’t significant enough to challenge them.
Jamaica Tallawahs lost their last match against Trinbago Knight Riders convincingly. Batting first, Glenn Phillips was brilliant again for them as he slammed 58 runs from 42 balls. But top-order collapse at the other end halted them to an extent. Chadwick Walton, Nicholas Kirton and Rovman Powell were all dismissed on single digits. Asif Ali and Andre Russell made 20s as they posted below par total of 135. In bowling scheme of things, Fidel Edwards, Mujeen Ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichhane were impressive but others proved expansive in a low-scoring match.
In Head-to-Head comparisons, Guyana Amazon Warriors are dominating the proceedings with a lead of 11-7 against Jamaica Tallawahs in 19 matches between them. One match was washed out in 2015. In recent years too, Guyana Amazon Warriors have taken 4 out of last 5 encounters against the Tallawahs.
The weather for this afternoon match is set to be fair. Some cloudy periods are predicted but there will be no rain mostly. If we talk about the playing surface, second match will be played on the same pitch. Naturally, spinners will come into play once the ball gets softer. The team which handles the opposition spinners well will have a great chance of winning.

This is a clash between two evenly matched teams. Guyana Amazon Warriors look a better unit overall but not by much when the opposition has Andre Russell in their ranks. Interesting match-up will be between Guyana middle order and Jamaica spinners. As per our Dream11 predictions, Guyana Amazon Warriors may close out the match if they are able to stop certain Andre Russell.
