Qualifier 2: GUY vs BAR

Preview

Let’s gear up for the penultimate battle of the Caribbean T20 League 2024. The Qualifier-2 between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Barbados Royals will be hosted at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Saturday, October 5. This game will ensure that one of the sides will face Saint Lucia Kings in the final match on Monday.

The Warriors are coming off a loss in their previous game, while the Royals eliminated the four-time champions Trinbago Knight Riders in a nail-biting thriller. The records favour GUY over BAR, with the hosts winning six out of the nine games over the previous four seasons. Playing at home gives Guyana an added advantage, though Barbados are a challenging side to play, which makes this a thrilling contest worth waiting for.

Match Prediction

Though BAR have struggled with consistency, winning only one of their last five games, their incredible performance in the previous match against the Knight Riders will surely boost their confidence. GUY also has a strong batting lineup and an excellent track record at this venue. Based on the current form, Guyana will start as the favourites to win this game.
