Pitch Report

Although the pitch at Warner Park should be a good one to bat on, there should be ample help on offer for the bowlers. While the pacers should get the ball moving around in the early phases, the spinners are likely to have a more significant say in the game. Wickets in hand will be key for both sides with the pitch likely to slow down as the match progresses. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s GUY vs TKR Dream11 Match Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran is one of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball and will ideally be used as a floater by the Guyana Amazon Warriors. With Denesh Ramdin batting in the lower-middle order, Pooran presents a better case for inclusion in your GUY vs TKR Dream11 fantasy team.

Batsman

Lendl Simmons: Lendl Simmons topped the runscoring charts in CPL 2020, resulting in a national call-up as well. Given his ability to score big runs at the top of the order, he should be a popular pick for this game.

All-rounder

Kieron Pollard: TKR captain Kieron Pollard was a revelation in the previous CPL edition and has often come up with crucial knocks in the middle order. Handy with the ball as well, Pollard should deliver a few points for your fantasy team.

Bowler

Imran Tahir: Imran Tahir comes into the tournament on the back of a stunning Hundred campaign. The leggie should get some turn off the surface and prove to be a menace in the middle overs.
