The Guyana Amazon Warriors come into this clash after thrashing the Chris Gayle-led Jamaica Tallawahs by seven wickets in their last game on 7 July. The win meant that Martin Guptill’s side moved to the top of the points table with six points from three games. The only unbeaten side left in the CPL 2016, Guyana’s bowlers have been exemplary with everyone contributing at crucial times. Pakistani left-arm pacer Sohail Tanvir leads the wicket-takers’ list with eight while spinner Adam Zampa is in the fourth place with six wickets. The unpredictable nature of Veerasammy Permaul has given their attack a different dimension. St Kitts have concerns, having won only one game out of four played so far. Despite the three losses, they find themselves in the third place on the points table. Join Daily Fantasy League & Win Daily Prizes: CricketCountry.CricBattle.com
