Caribean Premier League 2021, Match-1st, and the match is going to be played between Guyana Amazon Warriors & Trinbago Knight Riders and the match is all set to take place at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.
Hello and welcome to the new fantasy article which is going to be a new series 1st match the Caribean Premier League and the match is all set to take off Thursday at 7: 30 PM IST. Led by Kieron Pollard, Knight Riders won their fourth CPL title by defeating St Lucia Zouks in last year’s final. Being the most successful team in the history of the tournament, TKR would like to maintain its dominance in the upcoming edition.
Guyana Amazon Warriors, on the other hand, have made it to the finals on five occasions. However, they have finished on the wrong side of the result in each of their five CPL T20 finals.
With Nicholas Pooran replacing Chris Green as the new Guyana Amazon Warriors, the five-time runners-up will be hoping to lift their first CPL title this time around.
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.
M-5, W-6, Ave-12.67
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.
