GUY vs TKR Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Trinbago Knight Riders CPL T20 28 August

GUY vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: Two of the favourites to win this year’s CPL – Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders will go head to head in 16^th match of the season today. Trinbago Knight Riders are the only unbeaten team in the competition so far with 4 wins in as many matches while Guyana Amazon Warriors have not justified their tag just yet. They need to correct it very quickly before time runs out. Let’s take a look at our Dream11 fantasy cricket preview.

Guyana Amazon Warriors are coming off from a loss against Jamaica Tallawahs in the last match. Batting first, Guyana batsmen struggled right from the word go on an extremely slow pitch. Ross Taylor and Nicholas Pooran resisted for a while in the middle but all others from the top 8 were dismissed on single digits. Naveen-ul-Haq’s late innings somehow pushed the total to 108 runs. Guyana bowlers had defended 118 against the same opposition last week but they couldn’t replicate the same this time around. Naveen-ul-Haq picked up a couple but Jamaica Tallawahs were always sailing home.

Trinbago Knight Riders beat St Lucia Zouks in a rain-shortened match yesterday. Bowling first, Dwayne Bravo had a day to remember on the field. First, he became the first player to take 500 scalps in T20 cricket and then he produced a spell of 2-7 from 3 overs. Spinners Fawad Ahmed and Pravin Tambe also took a wicket each to restrict the Zouks. Chasing 72 runs from 9 overs, all they needed was a decent partnership from somewhere and they found one from Colin Munro and Darren Bravo. Trinbago Knight Riders chased down the total with an over to spare to remain unbeaten in the competition.

Historically, Trinbago Knight Riders have enjoyed an upper hand over their Guyana rivals. TKR have won 11 out of 20 matches played between them while Guyana Amazon Warriors have managed to sneak out on 9 occasions. In last 5 matches though, Guyana are leading by 3-2 over TKR. In the first meeting this year, TKR beat Guyana by 4 wickets in the opening match of the season.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather is expected to remain clear in Port of Spain today and there should not be any interruptions to the game. Conditions at the Queen’s Park Oval have been sluggish for the batting from whatever we have seen in last couple of days. And that should remain same for this match as well.

GUY vs TKR Dream11 Team Prediction

Let’s take a look at possible playing XIs for the both 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 may consider one or two changes to their playing XI for this match.
• The form of Brandon King is a glaring issue for the team management at top of the order. They brought on Anthony Bramble in place of Chandrapaul Hemraj in the last game. Though he failed in the last innings but should get another opportunity at least.
• After starting on a brilliant note, Shimron Hetmyer had a couple of failures while Ross Taylor and Nicholas Pooran looked good at various stages of the season. Sherfane Rutherford is yet to make a contribution this season and that’s a worry to say the least.
• Keemo Paul and Chris Green would like to be a bit more consistent while Imran Tahir, Ashmead Nedd and Naveen-ul-Haq are likely to keep their places.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News

• Trinbago Knight Riders are expected to field an unchanged playing XI for this match.
• Sunil Narine has been ruled out of the season and that came as a big blow to TKR. Tion Webster replaced him at top of the order but Lendl Simmons needs to take some serious responsibility now in the absence of Sunil Narine. But Lendl Simmons is going through a rough patch at the moment.
• The middle order of Colin Munro, Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard has been very effective till now while they will continue to use Tim Seifert as a finisher. 
• TKR have the perfect mix for the conditions in terms of both pace bowling and spin options. Ali Khan and Dwayne Bravo will bowl the hard overs while Fawad Ahmed, Khary Pierre and Pravin Tambe will take the charge of spin cartel.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Shimron Hetmyer is still a very good pick for the captain’s position. Yes, he had a lean patch for a couple of matches but he can turn things around very quickly with his talent. The Left-arm spinner and the leg-spinners will be very good match-ups for him in this game against TKR.
• You wouldn’t want to miss out on Imran Tahir, especially on pitches like these. Matches at Queen’s Park Oval have been extremely low-scoring so far and there are very less chances that situation will improve. 
• In the absence of Sunil Narine, Colin Munro can become a very good option for the captaincy. He already has a couple of good scores against his name in this year’s CPL.

For Grand Leagues

• You should look for a two-dimensional option for captain’s pick but since Chris Green and Keemo Paul have not been great with the bat, Ashmead Nedd can be an option for this match. If he finds himself away from Darren Bravo, he should have a good outing.
• Darren Bravo is a prominent six-hitter in T20 cricket. As he has already shown this year, he can easily take the attack to the opposition once he is set. Imran Tahir and Ashmead Nedd are the bowlers that Bravo Jr can target in the middle overs.
• Dwayne Bravo was exceptional yesterday with the ball in hand. He was using all his experience to take 2-7 from his 3 overs. It is highly unlikely that he will get an opportunity with the bat but if that comes, it is always bonus for your teams. 

Who will win GUY vs TKR Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream11 predictions, Trinbago Knight Riders are favourites to win this encounter against Guyana Amazon Warriors today. TKR have been unbeaten so far in the season and are familiar with the conditions due to local connection. But Guyana Amazon Warriors may not get a better opportunity than this to topple TKR in the absence of Sunil Narine.
