Preview:

After two games each in the tournament, both the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Jamaica Tallawahs have one win each. However, their positions on the points table are differentiated by the NRR. With an NRR of +0.616, the Warriors are at the second spot at the moment.

But the Tallawahs have got a negative NRR of -0.106. The team’s 7-wicket loss to the Trinbago Knight Riders have affected their NRR quite significantly and that is one area they’d like to improve upon. At the moment, they find themselves on the fourth spot on the points table and will look to climb up higher after this match.
