The Guyana Amazon Warriors and St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots won their opening match of CPL 2021.

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather is expected to be very good, just as it has been so far. There is no rain forecast for match day. The pitch started off as being tacky and slow but the number of runs being scored has increased with every match. We hope to see a good batting surface once more for this match where 160-170 is the par score batting first
Probably XI:
Guyana Amazon Warriors:
The Guyana Amazon Warriors won with a score of just 142 to defend in its opening match. That is the lowest winning total of the CPL 2021 season so far. That total was achieved thanks to a brilliant inning from Shimron Hetmyer who scored 54 from 41 deliveries when the next best score in the entire match was 28.
Hetmyer, Pooran, and King are the three big names that headline the batting for the Guyana Amazon Warriors. We have also seen a bit of good form from Hemraj Chandrapaul and Odean Smith already. With Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez, the Warriors have a spectacular batting lineup.
Imran Tahir was the star of the bowling effort in the previous match. He bowled quickly, accurately, and yet managed to get some turn to keep the batsmen guessing. He is going to be the biggest threat once more. Romario Shepherd also picked up three wickets in the previous match and could be one to watch out for. Guyana’s bowling could suffer a bit if the pitch starts to become better for batting, though, because we don’t think they have a great death bowler in their lineup.
Likely XI: Chandrapaul Hemraj, Brandon King, Mohammad Hafeez, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran, Shoaib Malik, Romario Shepherd, Naveen-ul-Haq, Ashmead Nedd, Odean Smith, Imran Tahir.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:
Sherfane Rutherford is just one of the most talented T20 cricketers in the Caribbean and we really think there is a very good chance of him being in the squad for the T20 World Cup. He bailed his team out of trouble once more with support from Dwayne Bravo. Both of them hit four sixes each and managed to get their team to a total that was far above par.
With Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle, Fabian Allen, and Asif Ali in the team, we think the batting for the Patriots has more power than the Warriors for sure. Having Rutherford and Allen in the lineup is going to give the top-order the freedom to play without worrying and Dwayne Bravo’s batting renaissance is quite remarkable as well!
The Patriots have a bowling lineup that is decent without being exceptional. Dwayne Bravo is the designated death bowler and will use his cutters to great effectiveness. Fawad Ahmed, Sheldon Cottrell, and Paul van Meekeren are all good bowlers but they can be targetted. We think the batting will have to bail its bowlers out more than a couple of times in CPL 2021.
Likely XI: Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, DC Thomas, Asif Ali, Sherfane Rutherford, F Allen, Dwayne Bravo, Sheldon Cottrell, Fawad Ahmed, Paul Van Meekeren, Dominic Drakes.
