MAINTAINING momentum will be the order of the day when leaders Guyana Amazon Warriors take on third-place St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in their HERO Caribbean Premier League T20 cricket match at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, from noon today.The local franchise, with a record of three wins in as many matches, currently lead the standings on six points.

The Warriors come into this clash after thrashing the Chris Gayle-led Jamaica Tallawahs by seven wickets in their last game Thursday evening.
Guyana bowlers have been exemplary with everyone contributing at crucial times.
Pakistani left-arm pacer Sohail Tanvir leads the wicket-takers’ list with eight while leg-spinner Adam Zampa is in the fourth place with six wickets.
The unpredictable nature of left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul has given their attack a different dimension.
Chris Lynn has starred with the bat for Guyana scoring 122 in their three matches but what will be of concern is the lack of runs from skipper Martin Guptill, who is yet to find form. He has looked quite shaky in all three innings so far.
With no injury concerns at present, the Warriors are expected to go in with the same team that beat the Tallawahs in their last game.
Meanwhile, head coach Roger Harper is feeling confident after the wins in the opening three rounds, but still thinks there is more that his charges can give.
“While we did pretty well in winning our first three games I think in each of the areas there are little things that we can do a little better.
“Good teams actually perform better than the sum of their individual parts and that is what we are trying to achieve. We have some pretty good players, but if we work well as a team we can appear to be even better than we look on paper,” Harper said after the game on Thursday evening.
On the other hand, the Patriots have concerns, winning only one game out of four played so far. Despite the three losses, they find themselves in the third place on the points table.
Despite having two batsmen in the top five run-getters’ list, the St Kitts’ outfit have struggled to put up challenging totals on the board. Evin Lewis and Devon Thomas have been the only batters to put up a fight with the rest falling like a pack of cards.
A lot more will be expected from Faf du Plessis and company if they will challenge the Warriors strong bowling attack.
