CPL 2024, Match - 33, Qualifier 2 | BR vs GUY | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Barbados Royals will play against Guyana Amazon Warriors in the qualifier 2 of Caribbean Premier League 2024. The Warriors lost to the Saint Lucia Kings in the last game. Meanwhile the Royals knocked Trinbago Knight Riders out of the tournament with a good show in the Eliminator. 

Barbados Royals are coming off a big 9-wicket win against Trinbago Knight Riders in the Eliminator. Before that, they had a miserable run, losing four consecutive matches before the tournament’s knockout stage commenced. Quinton de Kock has enjoyed a good run this season and must do well at the top with Rahkeem Cornwall. David Miller’s electrifying knock powered his team in the last game, and he must add runs with Powell and Kadeem Alleyne in the middle order. The bowling attack will face a massive challenge in this contest. Jason Holder and Maheesh Theekshana haven’t been consistent, and the team expects a strong show from them. The Royals will look ahead to continue their momentum from ‘Eliminator Win’ to secure a spot in the summit clash of the tournament. 

On the other hand, Guyana Amazon Warriors have won three matches while losing two in their last five games. Recently, they are coming off a 15-run defeat against the St Lucia Kings in the first qualifier of the tournament. The team needs a good start from Keemo Paul and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Their batting strength rests in the middle order, and the team needs a good show from Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, and Romario Shepherd. The bowling attack had a poor outing in the last game, and the side expects Gudakesh Motie and Dwaine Pretorius to get them early breakthroughs and put the opposition under pressure. Romario Shepherd and Tahir must deliver a strong show in the middle overs. The Warriors will also aim to win this game and clear the books of ‘first qualifier defeat’ in the tournament’s summit clash.
