Playing XI Updates:

Guyana Amazon Warriors:

GAW should persist with the same set of players that featured against St Lucia Zouks in Match 2 of CPL. They have a very balanced squad with ample batting depth as well. With Shadab Khan and Chris Green batting at 8 and 9, they are served well by their resourceful all-rounders, who complement Hetmyer and Pooran well. Sherfane Rutherford is also one to watch out for in this game against a decent BT bowling unit.

Possible XI: King, Hemraj, Hetmyer, Malik(C), Pooran(WK), Rutherford, Paul, Green, Shadab, Shepherd and Laughlin

Barbados Tridents:

Led by Jason Holder, Barbados Tridents is also well-balanced with Shai Hope and Alex Hales set to open the batting for them. They have a couple of explosive batsmen as well in Johnson Charles and Asif Ali, whose exploits in the T20 format are well-documented. Their bowling unit is arguably the best in CPL 2019 with experience and variety in abundance. Sandeep Lamichhane will be key along with the likes of Imad Wasim, Wahab Riaz and young, Chemar Holder in this game. Jonathan Carter has been on the fringes of the West Indian senior squad and would love to come good in this game in Guyana.

Possible XI: Hales, Charles, Hope(WK), Carter, Asif Ali, Wasim, Holder(C), Wahab, Lamichhane, Chemar Holder and Reifer/Nurse.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:

Wicket-keeper: Although he isn't viewed by many as a consistent T20 player, Barbados native Shai Hope is the preferred choice in the wicket-keepers slot. Nicolas Pooran is another such option to have with the GAW wicket-keeper given the finisher's role this year. Both of them should score some runs on Monday

Batsmen: Shimron Hetmyer and Jonathan Carter should score some runs in the top order. Along with them, Pakistani batsman, Asif Ali's explosiveness should serve him well towards the end of the innings. One of Brandon King or Chanderpaul Hemraj should also the trick for this game.

Allrounders: A number of quality options are available although Jason Holder and Imad Wasim are must-haves in the team. While Imad Wasim has been in decent form over the last few months, Jason Holder's all-round ability makes him a worthwhile candidate in the fantasy team. Keemo Paul also gave a good account of himself against St Lucia Zouks and is a decent player to have in the side as well.

Bowlers: Death bowlers should do the trick on Monday with Ben Laughin and Wahab Riaz likely to pick a wicket or two. Romario Shephard also impressed with his accuracy and should be picked while the likes of Shadab Khan and Sandeep Lamichhane should suffice in the bowling unit as well.

Captain: Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer are the front-runners for captaincy with the West Indian duo being aware of the conditions and able to pace their innings properly as well. Apart from them, Nicolas Pooran is also a decent option to back with the captaincy.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Nicolas Pooran, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Jonathan Carter, Keemo Paul, Chemar Holder, Imad Wasim, Sandeep Lamichhane, Romario Shephard and Shadab Khan. Captain: Shai Hope, Vice-Captain: Nicolas Pooran

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Nicolas Pooran, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Chanderpaul Hemraj, Jonathan Carter, Jason Holder, Imad Wasim, Asif Ali, Romario Shephard, Wahab Riaz and Ben Laughlin. Captain: Shimron Hetmyer, Vice-Captain: Shai Hope
