Caribbean Premier League 2020: Guyana Amazon Warriors vs. Jamaica Tallawahs, Match no. 12

Match predictions

Winners Prediction: Both teams competing in this match lost their last encounter with the Tallawahs losing against the same opponent Warriors.  Guyana Amazon Warriors rely heavily on their spin bowling and their batting is very inconsistent so far. Jamaica Tallawahs have a well-balanced batting attack with many big-hitters and good spin attack. Both teams lack quality pacers in their playing XI. We expect Guyana Amazon Warriors to win this match owing to their good overall team balance and experienced spin contingent. 

Score Prediction: We expect average scores in the range of 160-180 runs in this match as the match will take place in a new fresh track in Queen`s Park Oval. The ball is expected to come onto the bat nicely. 

Toss Prediction: We expect both teams to field first as they can take advantage of the bounce and carry in the fresh wicket early on and chasing will be safe option considering the new pitch in play.
