Having secured an electrifying triumph in their initial Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 encounter, the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are set to maintain their winning form as they host the Guyana Amazon Warriors at Warner Park on August 16. Captain Jason Holder boasts a formidable batting lineup, highlighted by the dynamic trio of Andre Fletcher (wicketkeeper), Evin Lewis and Kyle Mayers at the forefront, complemented by the powerful contributions of Rilee Rossouw and Alick Athanaze in the middle order.
Their bowling unit is equally commanding, spearheaded by the velocity of Naseem Shah, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and Navian Bidaisee, all poised to leverage the home ground advantage that favors precise seam and swing bowling.
On the opposing side, Imran Tahir’s Warriors present a well-rounded blend of Caribbean talent and global expertise. Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer will serve as crucial batting mainstays, while all-rounders Moeen Ali and Romario Shepherd provide adaptability. The spin department will be a significant factor, with Gudakesh Motie supporting Tahir to challenge the Patriots’ batting prowess, especially if the pitch deteriorates as the evening progresses.
