For the Amazon Warriors, Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga will replace Pakistan’s Mohammed Hafeez who leaves for International duties with his team on tour to Zimbabwe.
Malinga will add another dimension with his amazing accuracy and speed which makes him the most devastating exponent with the new while ball.
The Amazon Warriors must fancy their chances of coming out victorious but the openers will have to score faster during the powerplay, the period which allows the batting side the chance to seize the initiative and control the match.
In the other matches carded for today the T&T Red Steel will be seeking to maintain their winning ways but will find the St Lucia Zouks in positive mood, as the battle for top honours at Sabina Park in the first match of the double-header at the famous Jamaican venue while the home team Jamaica Tallawahs and leaders Barbados Tridents meet in the crucial second match which will decide the first set of semi-finalists.
Both matches will be played during the day while the Amazon Warriors will know what they have to do to clinch one of the other semi-final berths, as their match with the Hawksbills starts at 20:00hrs.
With their tense five-run victory over the Jamaica Tallawahs on Thursday at Sabina Park, the Guyana Amazon Warriors moved to eight points; the same as the Barbados Tridents who hold the lead of the six-team standings on a better net run rate; with +1.366 compared to -0.693.
