Guyana Amazon Warriors:

After winning all seven matches, once again the onus of scoring runs will be on tournament's second-leading run-scorer Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer, Shoaib Malik and Nicholas Pooran while, Chris Green, Imran Tahir, and Ben Laughlin should continue in Warrior's lineup to provide early breakthroughs.

Predicted XI: Brandon King, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shimron Hetmyer, Shoaib Malik (C), Nicholas Pooran (WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Ben Laughlin, Chris Green, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Imran Tahir

Top Picks:

Wicket-keeper: Nicholas Pooran (9.5 credits)

Hard to look past him though he hasn't made big runs, he got only four opportunities to bat in seven matches where he managed to get 99 runs under his belt at a strike-rate of 167.79 with an average of 49.50. He would be eager to put some big runs on board if he gets a chance to bat.

Batsman: Brandon King (8.5 credits)

The tournament's second-leading run-scorer who is averaging 55 in the CPL 2019 is coming into this match after score an unbeaten 81 runs in the last match against St Lucia Zouks, so don't be surprised if you see another big inning. He's in red-hot form at the moment, and a must pick for this game.

All-rounder: Jimmy Neesham (9.5 credits)

Neesham is back to his favorite ground where he picked seven wickets in just three matches in Port of Spain, on a track that assists a medium-pacers moreover, he can give you extra points with the bat if the top order fails. We expect him to rock once again.

Bowler: Imran Tahir (9.5 credits)

The right-arm leg break is in red-hot form where in just four matches he claimed eight wickets at an economy of just 5.18 with an average of 10.37 runs per wickets. He should be in your fantasy team on the basis on current form.

Captain options: Brandon King, Jimmy Neesham
