Match Details:

Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana

Date & Time: September 26, 04:30 AM IST, September 25, 07:00 PM Local Time

Where to Watch: FanCode

Pitch Report:

The surface at the Providence Stadium in Guyana offers assistance to the fast bowlers, who dominate the powerplay overs and very little help for the spinners. It is one of the low-scoring surfaces in the country, and the toss plays a big factor as the team winning the toss more often than not ends up winning the match at this venue.

Probable Playing XIs:

Guyana Amazon Warriors:

Chandrapaul Hemraj, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Shai Hope, Shakib Al Hasan, Shimron Hetmyer (c), Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Odean Smith, Keemo Paul, Junior Sinclair, Imran Tahir

Barbados Royals:

Rahkeem Cornwall, Kyle Mayers, Harry Tector, David Miller (c), Azam Khan, Devon Thomas (wk), Jason Holder, Corbin Bosch, Obed McCoy, Joshua Bishop, Ramon Simmonds

Probable Top Performers:

Probable best batter of the match:

Kyle Mayers:

The explosive opening batter was leading the scoring charts since the beginning of the tournament, but after a couple of lackluster performances, he has moved down to third in the list. The southpaw has looked in his elements throughout the event and hence a big knock is on the cards for him.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Jason Holder:

The veteran all-rounder has been in terrific form with the ball in hand and has claimed 14 dismissals in the CPL this season, the second-most after Alzarri Joseph's 16 scalps. His bowling partnership with Obed McCoy has been crucial for Royals in this year's edition of the competition.
