BR vs GAW Analysis:

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather conditions are quite good and are expected to remain the same for this match as well. The pitch has been slow this entire season and that is not going to change. If anything, the bounce will get lower and the number of sixes that we see in each match may go down.
A score of around 150 is par for the venue and can actually be quite difficult to chase.
Probably XI:
Barbados Royals:
Barbados Royals may have shown many glimpses of brilliance in the tournament thus far, but they have not been able to convert those to results. They have won just one match up until now and are consequently languishing at the bottom of the points table with just two points to their name. Besides, they have a pretty poor net run-rate of -0.953.
Barbados Royals last won four matches ago in a match wherein they defeated Jamaica Tallawahs on the back of some brilliant individual contributions. However, neither individuals or the Royals collectively have fired since that win. They last lost against Guyana Amazon Warriors in a match that happened to flow in one direction.
On paper, the Royals have a decent side, but they do appear to be a little too over-reliant on Glenn Phillips. Apart from him, their other players have struggled to execute things well, be it with the bat or with the ball. Given that the tournament is slipping away from them rather quickly, it is high time for them to get it right.
Likely XI: Jason Holder, GD Phillips, Shai Hope, Azam Khan, Johnson Charles, Jake Lintott, Oshane Thomas, Ashley Nurse, Smit Patel, Raymon Reifer, Nyeem Young.

Guyana Amazon Warriors:
Guyana Amazon Warriors were languishing in the bottom half of the points table for quite some time. They are still there, but are in a lot better position at the moment. With three wins in six matches, the Warriors are placed at the fourth spot, but a win here will take them to the third spot. Also, if they can produce a win big enough for their net run rate to be higher than the Kings’, the Warriors will jump to the second spot.
With two wins from their last three matches, Guyana Amazon Warriors have the momentum with them. They are coming off a massive win over Barbados Royals and that should give them immense amount of confidence going into the upcoming game. Not only the win, it was also the manner in which that came as they won the match with 34 balls to spare and nine wickets in hand.
All in all, the Warriors always had a decent side on paper and now that they are executing things well should boost their confidence massively. On paper, they have an ample number of hard-hitters and experienced players available and that can be a crucial factor in crunch moments. If they manage to execute things well in the upcoming match as well, beating them is going to be extremely hard.
Likely XI: Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Shoaib Malik, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Mohammad Hafeez, Odean Smith, Gudakesh Motie, Imran Tahir, Kevin Sinclair, Romario Shepherd.
