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.
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.

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.
