CPL 2019: Match 11, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Guyana Amazon Warriors - Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 11th game of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2019 will be played between St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts.

The match starts at 7:00 PM local time (12:00 AM GMT) (5:30 AM IST – 15th September)

This series will be live on Star Sports 2 and Star Sports 2 HD in India. Live streaming is available on Hotstar.

Preview:

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots managed to win only one of their four matches and that one win came when they recorded the 2nd highest successful T20I run-chase. They chased down 242 against the Jamaica Tallawahs but lost to Barbados Tridents chasing 187 on the very next day. They will be hopeful of their in-form top three Evin Lewis, Laurie Evans and Devon Thomas delivering in these high run-chases.

The SKN Patriots’ bowling hasn’t been top-notch in the absence of Sheldon Cottrell. They will be up against Guyana Amazon Warriors who are a more balanced side. The Amazon Warriors have won all the three matches they played and are placed behind the defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders in the points table. They have the bowling that could work on the high-scoring venues of the competition.

Weather Condition/Report:

The first two matches of the season at the Warner Park didn’t see any interruptions. However, the game on Saturday will have a threat from rain. 30-40% chances of rain are expected from 6 PM local time; one hour prior to the start of the match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Warner Park in Basseterre produced two high-scoring matches earlier this week including the 2nd highest T20 chase ever. The venue could witness another run-fest and the short boundaries help the cause for the batsmen.

Average first innings score: 194 (CPL matches since 2018)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 4, Lost – 2

Team News:

There is no update on why Sheldon Cottrell didn’t play the previous two matches.
