The 20th fixture of the 2021 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) sees Barbados Royals take on Guyana Amazon Warriors at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts on September 8 (Wednesday). The match is scheduled to begin at 4:30 am IST.

Teams Status

Barbados Royals

Barbados Royals are dead last on the points table, having won just one of their opening half a dozen matches of CPL 2021.

The Royals started their campaign with twin defeats before beating Jamaica Tallawahs – their sole win so far – and have since lost three straight.

What’s hugely problematic is that it’s not like most of their defeats have been closely fought. In fact, apart from the defeat to the Patriots, the other four were lost by decent margins.

Despite their horrific form, they can still make it out of the round-robin stage, if they get their act together immediately. Another defeat, however, will begin to close the qualification door on them.

No prizes for guessing where their problems originate from. As is most often the case for struggling units, it’s Barbados’ batting that often betrays them.

Guyana Amazon Warriors

Guyana Amazon Warriors find themselves right in the middle of the CPL points table, with three victories and three defeats in six matches.

Their upset of Trinbago in the tournament opener and two other wins later prove that they have talent but they are not as consistent as they’d like to be.

Furthermore, their batters are also struggling for runs, with their highest score of the tournament being a rather modest 166.

One positive for the Warriors is that they have won two of their last three matches, with their last win coming against none other than Barbados Royals.

It is pertinent to mention here tha this is another one of those back-to-back matches this tournament has plenty of. In their last meeting on Sept 4, Imran Tahir had helped Guyana restrict Barbados to just 130 before Chandrapaul Hemraj had gone on a rampage, scoring 105 of his team’s 136 in a successful run chase.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Guyana to win @ 1.602

After a victory as dominant as the one a few days ago, there is no way we are not backing Guyana to repeat the trick. It’s no secret that Barbados batting is brittle and Guyana has a pretty decent bowling unit featuring two of the most experienced spin bowlers in all of cricket: Imran Tahir and Mohammad Hafeez, the latter of whom wrecked their Barbados batting in their last meeting. The play can be found on MelBet.

Tip: Total runs for over 1 in 1st inning – Guyana Amazon Warriors – Over 5.5 @ 1.80

After the kind of dominant victory, they scored over Barbados, there is no way Guyana openers are going to take their time settling in at the start of the innings. We expect fireworks straightaway, which is why we back them to score more than 5.5 runs in the opening over. The play can be found on Dafabet.

Conclusion

The equation is simple here. One team is better, the other is inferior. If all plays out as it is supposed to be, the better side – Guyana – should come out on top.
