Guyana Amazon Warriors arrive at Gros Islet as the team nobody wants to face. They won the Global Super League title in July, then opened their CPL campaign by bowling Jamaica Kingsmen out for 117 and chasing it down inside 15 overs. St Lucia Kings have been up and down, and lost their last outing to Barbados Tridents in a rain shortened game at this ground. Roston Chase captains the Kings, and Imran Tahir leads the Warriors in a fixture these two have contested in three of the last four playoff campaigns. With both sides bringing contrasting recent form into this clash, the SLK vs GAW Fantasy Team will be an important consideration for fantasy cricket players ahead of the match.

Recent Form
St Lucia Kings have won two and lost two this season. They beat Antigua & Barbuda Falcons by four runs in the third match, lost to St Kitts & Nevis Patriots when 155/8 was chased down with 14 balls to spare, then beat the Falcons again in a rain hit contest decided on DLS.

Before that they won the Global Super League on home soil, defending 85 in an extraordinary low scoring final to bowl San Francisco Unicorns out for 79.
Points Table
Guyana Amazon Warriors sit on two points from their single match with a net run rate of +2.479, the best in the competition by a distance after that emphatic win. St Lucia Kings have four points from four matches with two wins, though their net run rate has slipped into negative territory at -0.232.
SLK vs GAW Head to Head Record
Guyana Amazon Warriors lead the head to head 6-4, and they won both meetings in CPL 2025, including Qualifier 1 when they posted 157 and bowled the Kings out for 143.
St Lucia Kings will point to a bigger occasion though. They beat Guyana in the CPL 2024 final, chasing down 139 with 11 balls to spare to win the title, and they also beat them in that season’s Qualifier 1 on DLS. These two have met at the business end of the tournament repeatedly, and the matches are usually close.
SLK vs GAW Squads
St Lucia Kings: Roston Chase captains the side, an all rounder contributing with bat and off spin who has been bowling through a finger injury. Andries Gous has been their most productive batter with 82 in the opener, and Jewel Andrew and Kamil Pooran both made half centuries against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Maheesh Theekshana and Noor Ahmad give the attack two quality wrist and finger spin options. Full squad: Roston Chase (c), Andries Gous, Jewel Andrew (wk), Tim Seifert, Kamil Pooran, Ackeem Auguste, Damion Joachim, Johann Jeremiah, Charith Asalanka, Darron Nedd, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Khari Campbell, Joshua Bishop, Maheesh Theekshana, Keon Gaston, Noor Ahmad, Matthew Forde, McKenny Clarke, Amari Goodridge.
Guyana Amazon Warriors: Imran Tahir captains the side, the veteran leg spinner who led Guyana to their maiden CPL title in 2023 and was the leading wicket taker in CPL 2025. Shai Hope was the competition’s leading run scorer last season, and Shimron Hetmyer provides the middle order power. The overseas group includes Glenn Phillips, Mohammad Nabi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Dwaine Pretorius. Full squad: Imran Tahir (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Glenn Phillips, Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Dwaine Pretorius, Veerasammy Permaul, Ronaldo Alimohamed, Matthew Nandu, Mavendra Dindyal, Jonathan Van Lange, Isai Thorne, Quentin Sampson, Khary Pierre, Shamar Joseph.
Pitch Report
Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium strongly favours the team bowling first, with the chasing side winning 65 percent of matches here across 52 games, against just 33 percent for the side batting first. The average first innings score is 158, dropping to 145 in the second innings.
Interestingly, the pace and spin split here is close to even, with the quicks taking 53 percent of wickets in the last 10 matches against 47 percent for spin. That gives both Theekshana and Noor Ahmad for the Kings, and Tahir and Permaul for Guyana, a real role to play. The highest total recorded at the ground is 226/6, and the highest successful chase is 218/5.
Weather Report
Forecasts differ. One source shows around a 25 percent chance of rain in Gros Islet on Wednesday with warm conditions near 86°F (30°C), while Crex’s forecast for the ground reports rain with 83 percent humidity and a 59 percent chance. This venue has already produced one DLS result and one 18 over match this tournament, so a shortened contest is a live possibility. Check the toss before locking your team.

These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss, and rain could force late changes.
Key Player Battles
Andries Gous vs Imran Tahir: Gous has been the Kings’ most reliable batter, and Tahir’s leg spin is the single most likely thing to stop him. Tahir was the leading wicket taker in CPL 2025 and knows this ground well.
Shai Hope vs Maheesh Theekshana: Hope topped the run charts last season, and Theekshana’s variations through the middle overs are the Kings’ best route to slowing Guyana’s innings.
Shimron Hetmyer vs Noor Ahmad: Hetmyer can clear any boundary when set, and Noor’s wrist spin is designed to trouble exactly that type of batter before he settles.
SLK vs GAW Fantasy Team
Wicket keeper: Shai Hope (C),
Batter: Shimron Hetmyer, Charith Asalanka, Romario Shepherd,
All Rounder: Mohammad Nabi (Vc), Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Jousha Bishop,
Bowler: Shamar Joseph, Maheesh Theekshana, Imran Tahir,
Hope gets the captaincy as the leading run scorer in CPL 2025 playing for the side with the best form in the competition. Gous is vice captain as the Kings’ most consistent batter at his home ground. The spin options are weighted heavily, with Tahir, Theekshana, Noor Ahmad and Nabi all likely to bowl their full allocation on a surface where spin takes nearly half the wickets.
SLK vs GAW Match Prediction
Guyana Amazon Warriors are the form team in Caribbean cricket right now. A Global Super League title, an emphatic CPL opener, a net run rate of +2.479, and a squad with Hope, Hetmyer, Phillips and Tahir all in good order. They also lead this head to head 6-4 and won both meetings last season.
St Lucia Kings have home advantage and a ground that rewards chasing, which suits them, and they have beaten Guyana on the biggest stage before, taking the 2024 final. But they have lost two of four, their net run rate is negative, and their last outing at this ground ended in defeat.
Guyana Amazon Warriors get the nod on form and squad depth, though a Kings side at home on a chase friendly surface can never be dismissed, and rain may yet have the final say.
