Guyana Amazon Warriors play Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League 2022 (CPL) on Monday, September 26, 2022, at the Providence Stadium in Guyana from 4:30 AM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Guyana Amazon Warriors have fought their way back into Qualifier 1 contention after three wins on the bounce. The Warriors are likely to qualify for the playoffs, owing to their healthy net run rate. Shakib Al Hasan, who recently joined the Warriors squad, produced a match-winning all-round display in the Warriors’ last match to help them beat Trinbago Knight Riders by 37 runs.
Barbados Royals have already sealed their place in Qualifier 1 after winning eight of the nine matches in CPL 2022. The Royals’ only defeat this season came against the Tallawahs after which they have earned back-to-back wins. Quinton de Kock and David Miller are expected to return to the lineup for this game, which could potentially be a dress rehearsal for the qualifier.

Guyana Amazon Warriors top picks vs Barbados Royals CPL 2022
Shimron Hetmyer: The Warriors’ captain has been a key part of their resurgence over the last few matches in the CPL this season. Hetmyer has scored 219 runs in eight matches and is the Warriors’ highest run-scorer in this campaign. His aggressive batting style would be essential for the team to dominate against the Royals’ bowling attack in the middle overs.
Imran Tahir: The evergreen spinner from South Africa has sparked into life in the last three matches in this edition for the Warriors, picking five wickets while bowling economically. Tahir’s shrewd spell against the Tallawahs kicked off a three-match winning streak for the Warriors. His craftiness with the ball at all stages of the innings makes him a difficult bowler to score off.
Barbados Royals top picks vs Guyana Amazon Warriors CPL 2022
Quinton de Kock: Alongside Kyle Mayers, the South African wicketkeeper batter has been the backbone of the Barbados Royals batting lineup this season. De Kock has smashed 221 runs this season in the Caribbean Premier League at an average of 44.20. His experience against Imran Tahir and Tabraiz Shamsi could prove handy for the Royals to negotiate that challenge in this match.
Jason Holder: The West Indian bowling all-rounder is enjoying one of his most prolific seasons with the ball in the CPL. Holder has also demonstrated his ability with the bat at crucial moments this season. 10 of Holder’s 14 wickets for the Royals in CPL 2022 have come in the last five games and he is also unbeaten with the bat in the last three games.
