Pitch Report – GUY vs TKR

The pitch is very good for the batsmen, according to recent home matches (only T20 figures) the other teams batting have got 23 out of 38 matches. Bowlers do their job in the first innings as batting first at this venue is never an option, the pitch assists bowlers so well at the start of the match, but as the pitch slows, bowlers lose their pace and turn. And the batsmen also start hitting their shots.

Best Performers – GU vs TKR

Lendl Simmons of Trinbago Knight Riders will be the batsman to watch in the CPL 2021 opener. The 36-year-old has been the highest run-scorer in Caribbean Premier League history, scoring 2436 runs in 82 matches at an average of 33.83. Simmons was also instrumental in TKR’s title-winning campaign last year as he finished as the highest run-scorer in CPL 2020 with 356 runs at an average of 39.55.

Sunil Narine is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the history of the tournament. The mystery spinner has taken 78 wickets in 76 matches at an economy of 5.45. In CPL 2020, the 33-year-old picked up six wickets in five matches at an economy rate of just 4.55. Naren could once again trouble Guyana’s batting.

Kieron Pollard As far as all-rounders are concerned, it doesn’t make any sense to pick TKR captain in their fantasy cricket team. Pollard was in sensational form last year, scoring 207 runs in seven innings at an impressive strike rate of 204.95, while also maintaining an impressive average of 51.75. The West Indies T20I captain also took eight wickets at an economy of 7.55.

For the wicket-keeper slot, Guyana captain Nicholas Pooran would have to be picked over TKR’s Denesh Ramdin due to his match-winning ability with the bat. Pooran was the fifth-highest run-scorer in CPL 2020, scoring 245 runs in 11 matches, including a quick century. Meanwhile, Ramdin scored 170 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 97.14.
