What is the match?
Guyana Amazon Warriors take on St Lucia Kings in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
When is it taking place?
The match is scheduled to take place at 19:00 local time (GMT-4) on Thursday, September 22.
Where is the match played?
The match will take place at Providence Stadium, Guyana.
Who has the form?
While the St Lucia Kings have certainly had the stronger season, winning four of their matches so far compared to the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ two, the home side go into the match with much-needed winning momentum.
Jamaica Tallawahs’ formidable bowling attack could not contain Shai Hope (60 off 45 balls) and Odean Smith (42 off just 16 balls) as the Warriors posted 178 for 8 off their 20 overs, a score that proved to be defensible with Imran’s bowling. Tahir, Shakib al Hasan and Gudakesh Motie lead their attack.
The Kings will rely heavily on their in-form openers Faf du Plessis and Johnson Charles, who average more than any other opening pair in the competition.

What is the match to watch?
Of course, the question for the Warriors is whether Hope can string together two straight games. If Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shimron Hetmyer and Hope can lay a foundation, they can be confident in Romario Shepherd and Smith’s ability to close the innings. They will also need to find an answer to the Kings’ top order hitting.
The Kings are likely to use Roston Chase with the new ball to make early attacks and pile the pressure on the Warriors’ middle order, as he did in their last game against Trinbago Knight Riders.
What’s the news from the camps?
Guyana are unlikely to change a winning formula, bringing in Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top of the order for Paul Stirling, who was, until the Tallawahs game, their opener of choice.
The Kings will continue to look to Adam Hose to fill the void left by Tim David who left the squad to join Australia in India last week.

What is the forecast?
Tough to call given the Warriors’ recent form on their home turf. However, even if they bring their spinners into the game early, the du Plessis-Charles partnership will be tough to overcome. The Kings win.
