BR vs GAW 21st Match Preview and Team Analysis
Barbados Royals
The Royals are struggling at the bottom of the table with no wins so far. Batting has shown glimpses of promise — Sherfane Rutherford’s explosive 45 (22) and Rovman Powell’s 103 runs at a strike rate of 190 stand out — but lack of consistency is hurting the team.
Quinton de Kock and Brandon King need to provide strong starts, while Kadeem Alleyne’s form (96 runs) offers hope in the middle order. Powell remains their biggest weapon with both bat and ball.
Bowling remains their weakest link. With only 12 wickets taken in 3 innings, Ramon Simmonds (4 wickets, economy 7.3) is the lone bright spot.
Key Players: Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Quinton de Kock
Predicted XI (BR): Brandon King, Quinton de Kock (wk), Kadeem Alleyne, Shaqkere Parris, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell (c), Eathan Bosch, Daniel Sams, Chris Green, Jomel Warrican, Ramon Simmonds
Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Warriors are inconsistent but dangerous. Shai Hope has been their best batter with 200 runs at a strike rate of 134, while Romario Shepherd has impressed as an all-rounder, scoring 117 runs at 205 SR and picking up 3 wickets.
Imran Tahir continues to dominate with 12 wickets and remains the leader of their bowling attack. However, Moeen Ali’s poor form (23 runs, no wickets) remains a concern. Ben McDermott and Quentin Sampson must step up at the top.
Key Players: Shai Hope, Romario Shepherd, Imran Tahir
Predicted XI (GAW): Ben McDermott, Quentin Sampson, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Moeen Ali, Hassan Khan, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Imran Tahir (c)
