The overseas group includes Glenn Phillips, Mohammad Nabi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Dwaine Pretorius. Khary Pierre joined from Saint Lucia Kings after Gudakesh Motie left for Barbados Tridents.

ABF vs GAW Pitch Report

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium strongly favours the team bowling first.

Across 17 matches, the chasing team has won 71% of matches compared with just 29% for teams batting first. This is one of the sharpest chasing splits at any CPL venue.

Both of Antigua’s recent home victories came while chasing.

The average first-innings score is 156, while the average second-innings score drops to 145.

Guyana hold the ground record with 211/3 against Antigua, while Antigua recently recorded the highest successful chase at this venue with 191/7.

The bowling split is particularly important. Spin has taken 54% of the wickets across the last 10 matches at this ground, with spinners taking 53 wickets compared with 45 for pace bowlers.

That could make the spin options from both teams particularly valuable.

Antigua can call upon Moeen Ali, Shadab Khan, Sufyan Moqim, Usama Mir and Rahkeem Cornwall.

Guyana have Imran Tahir, Veerasammy Permaul, Khary Pierre and Mohammad Nabi.

ABF vs GAW Weather Report

Weather is the biggest concern ahead of the match.

The forecast for North Sound on Sunday shows partly cloudy conditions with around 83% humidity, temperatures near 27.2°C and an 82% chance of rain.

The tournament has already produced multiple DLS results and shortened matches, so a reduced-overs contest or even a washout remains possible.

Fantasy players should check the toss, weather and final playing XIs before locking their teams.

Key Player Battles

Moeen Ali vs Imran Tahir

This could be one of the most important battles of the match.

Both are spin-bowling captains and both can contribute with the bat. With spin taking 54% of wickets at this venue, their influence during the middle overs could be decisive.

Evin Lewis vs Shamar Joseph

Evin Lewis can change a game quickly during the powerplay, while Shamar Joseph is one of Guyana’s most likely sources of early wickets.

Removing Lewis cheaply has been an effective way of putting pressure on Antigua.

Shai Hope vs Shadab Khan

Shai Hope was among the leading run-scorers in CPL 2025, while Shadab Khan’s leg-spin could be particularly effective on this surface.

With the ground rewarding spin, this contest could decide the middle overs of Guyana’s innings.

ABF vs GAW Fantasy Team

Wicket-Keepers: Kusal Perera, Shai Hope (Vc),

Batters: Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Shamar Springer,

All-Rounders: Mohammad Nabi, Gleen Phillips, Shadab Khan (C),

Bowlers: Dwaine Pretorius, Shamar Joseph, Alzarri Joseph,

Captain: Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan gets the captaincy because he is an all-round option who can contribute with both bat and ball. His availability has coincided with Antigua’s improved form at home.

Vice-Captain: Shai Hope

Shai Hope is selected as vice-captain because of his batting consistency and strong record around this fixture.

The fantasy team is also heavily weighted towards spin. Imran Tahir, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Rahkeem Cornwall could all have opportunities to bowl on a surface where spinners have taken more than half of the wickets.

ABF vs GAW Match Prediction

Guyana Amazon Warriors have the edge based on their unbeaten CPL 2026 record, superior net run rate, 3-1 head-to-head advantage and the record score at this venue.

Imran Tahir’s leg-spin could also be a major weapon on a surface where spin has taken 54% of the wickets.

However, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons have a strong case at home. They have won their last two matches, both through successful chases, while Moeen Ali’s return has coincided with their improved performances.

The venue also heavily favours chasing, with teams bowling first winning 71% of matches.

Prediction: Guyana Amazon Warriors have a narrow edge based on form and head-to-head record. However, Antigua’s chances increase significantly if they win the toss and chase.

The 82% rain chance is the biggest variable, and a shortened match could favour the team batting second.
