Barbados Royals vs Guyana Amazon Warriors T20 Tips

Barbados Royals are a good team but have started the CPL very poorly and sit at the bottom of the pile. Guyana sits just above them and needs a win as well to keep in touch with the third-placed A&B Falcons. It should be a tense game, this one, but I do see Barbados winning.

Guyana Amazon Warriors have lost their last two with their bowling looking below par. Royals have lost all three games, but they finally get to play at home. This should bring about some improvement on their own wicket. It's not that they have been badly outclassed in their defeats, so I think they can cause an upset.

Shai Hope is yet to be named Man of the Match in this league in the 2025 season. He played 4 matches and did well, but wasn’t Man of the Match. He is the best player on the field in this match and showed good form in previous games. I feel he will win this match for Guyana today.

Ben McDermott was named Man of the Match in 1 of 4 league matches for the Amazon Warriors. It was in a win against the Patriots when he scored 75. He can do it in any match with his aggressive approach.

Hope is the leading run scorer for Guyana this year and has scored at least 24 runs in 3 of those games, including two half-centuries. He has an average of over 50 runs in 7 innings against Barbados Royals, which includes 3 half-centuries and a century.

McDermott is a high-risk, high-reward player for the top batsman pick. He is aggressive and tries to take risks, hunting big numbers for his team. He scored 75 in Guyana's win against the Patriots.
