GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket Guyana Amazon Warriors vs St Lucia Zouks CPL T20 9 September

GUY vs SLZ Dream11 Prediction: After the tussle in the group stages, teams have now embarked to the journey of their ultimate glory. And that is to win this year’s Caribbean Premier League. Two teams searching for their first CPL title will take on each other in second semi-final today. Guyana Amazon Warriors and St Lucia Zouks will be looking to make their preparations count at The Brain Lara Stadium in an evening game. We will preview the match in our Dream11 fantasy cricket.

Guyana Amazon Warriors ended the league stage at 2^nd position with 6 wins out of 10 matches. After an indifferent start to the season, they managed to hold their own in some of the crucial games. In their last group match, they hammered the defending champions Barbados Tridents to send them on their way. Romario Shepherd and Imran Tahir were the major destroyers as the Tridents were restricted to a total of 89 runs from their 20 overs. Both took 3 scalps each on that night. In the chase, Shimron Hetmyer anchored the innings perfectly while Chandrapaul Hemraj found some form before the knock-out games. Guyana Amazon Warriors sailed home with 6 wickets to spare.

St Lucia Zouks have turned out to be a ‘surprise package’ in this year’s CPL. They also won the same number of matches as their rivals today but were placed at 3^rd position only because of their net run-rate. In the last group match, St Lucia Zouks overcame Jamaica Tallawahs comfortably to end the league phase on a high. Batting first, Rahkeem Cornwall, Roston Chase and Najibullah Zadran were their main contributors in the total of 145 runs. In reply, St Lucia Zouks spinners were a tough proposition to handle for the Tallawahs on a tiring surface. Javelle Glen and Zahir Khan picked up a couple of wickets each to hand a victory by 11 runs to the Zouks.

In head-to-head comparisons, Guyana Amazon Warriors have been the dominant team historically. They have 10 wins compared to 5 of St Lucia Zouks in 15 matches played between them. In the last 5 matches, Guyana Amazon Warriors are leading by 3-2 while the honors have been shared by both the teams in the meetings this year with both winning a game each in the group stages.

Pitch and Conditions

Isolated showers in the afternoon may play spoilsport for today’s semifinal but it is highly unlikely that there will be persistent enough rain to cause any chances of a wash-out. This pitch at Tarouba is looking good for batting in comparisons to the earlier ones but still there will be plenty for the slower bowlers to work with.

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 looking a very strong unit on paper but they will have some spots under consideration for today.
Brandon King and Chandrapaul Hemraj have not been great this season but they are most likely to open the innings for Guyana Amazon Warriors.
Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran and Ross Taylor have formed one of the strongest middle-orders in this tournament. Keemo Paul can bat at a spot higher at number 6 position for this match. They can give another opportunity to Sherfane Rutherford looking only at his potential but his form has been woeful this year to say the least.
Chris Green and Imran Tahir will lead the spin-bowling department while Ashmead Nedd is likely to play as the third spinner in the XI. Naveen-ul-Haq will be the only specialist fast-bowler for Guyana today.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

Shimron Hetmyer is an obvious pick from Guyana Amazon Warriors for today’s semifinal. He has made full use of his potential this year. He is second on the list of top run-scorers this year and has guided a couple of run chases for his team.
Imran Tahir has taken 15 scalps this year and he is jointly first on the list with Mujeeb Ur Rahman. He has enough experience of playing on these big nights and Guyana will be banking on him to knock-off couple of crucial batsmen in the Zouks middle-order.
Mohammad Nabi has remained an important player in St Lucia Zouks’ campaign this year. A player who can bowl his full quota of overs effectively and can bat in top 4 is considered as an asset to any T20 side. Mohammad Nabi has been doing just that in this form of the game for last 3-4 years.

For Grand Leagues

Nicholas Pooran is the second highest run-scorer for Guyana Amazon Warriors this year after Shimron Hetmyer. He also has a ton in this season and has been looking in great form all throughout. He will be critical for the match-up against Zahir Khan in today’s encounter.
Scott Kuggeleijn can be a great pick for the grand leagues from St Lucia Zouks. He has a total of 14 wickets this year and is far ahead in terms of wickets taken by the fast-bowlers in this competition. He bowls the hard overs for his team and gives perfect foil to the spinners.
Mark Deyal does have the potential to earn you more points than the other expansive options. He is also set to open for the Zouks in this semi-final. He contributed with a quick-fire 40 in the last match. If you are looking to stand out from the crowd, then Mark Deyal can be the perfect choice.

Who will win GUY vs SLZ Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream11 predictions, Guyana Amazon Warriors are primed to win this semi-final against St Lucia Zouks. Yes, St Lucia Zouks have had a pretty impressive run to the semi-finals but Guyana Amazon Warriors should see them out in this knock-out game due to their overall strengths. However, you cannot take any team for granted at this stage of the competition.
