Pitch Condition
The Queen’s Park Oval produced some generally even contests earlier in the tournament, though if it favoured anyone it would have been the batsmen thanks to its good, consistent bounce.
Toss Prediction
Trinbago Knight Riders lost the toss in all three of their home matches, so they are due a reversal in fortune at the coin toss. If they win, they may follow the general trend of fielding first.

TKR Team News
With Mohammad Hasnain returning to Pakistan for international duty, Chris Jordan has been signed up and could make his first appearance in this game. Anderson Phillip could be the man to make way for the England all-rounder.
TKR Key Players
Lendl Simmons: Hit three consecutive big half-centuries but the fixture list means he has only batted once in the fortnight since. Nevertheless, the big-hitting opener has proved the fireworks he is capable of.
Kieron Pollard: The captain has been a true all-rounder for the Knight Rounders. More recently it has been with the ball he has impressed, taking six wickets in the last five games, while he has produced some useful innings with the bat too – particularly at the Queen’s Park Oval.
Chris Jordan: The England all-rounder has a point to prove ahead of England duty, having been below-par at the T20 Blast, and with his place in the national team under threat. On his day, he is excellent with the ball and can throw the bat too.
TKR Team Form
Trinbago Knight Riders won their first four matches at the Caribbean Premier League, but the defending champions have not won since. Two defeats, either side of a no result, have halted their momentum a little.
They lost to St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in a super over, despite posting 216/4 from their 20 overs, and then – after only 12.2 overs were possible against St Lucia Zouks –

Guyana Amazon Warriors Team News & Playing 11
GAW Team News
Ben Laughlin is going to be hard to drop after he claimed 3-12 last time out, after replacing Keemo Paul. Qais Ahmad – who was seen getting advice from team-mate Imran Tahir and opposition leggie Fawad Ahmad as the players chatted on the pitch after the last game – has missed the last two matches. He could replace Odean Smith, however.
GAW Key Players
Shoaib Malik: The captain has proved his quality and experience so far, proving he still has plenty to offer with both bat and ball. He was unbeaten on 30 last time out as King did the real damage with the bat at the other end.
Imran Tahir: Drafted in when Shadab Khan had to return to Pakistan, the veteran leggie has not let the Warriors down - getting straight into the wickets and bowling as economically as usual too. He has collected two wickets in each of his four matches so far.
GAW Team Form
A dominant victory against St Lucia Zouks last time out means the Warriors have now won seven matches out of seven at this year’s Caribbean Premier League. The Zouks posted 161/7 but Brandon King led the reply with a superb 81*. The Warriors won by eight wickets.
It followed similar convincing wins against Jamaica Tallawahs and Barbados Tridents too - King hitting half-centuries in those victories as well.

Head to Head
This will be the 1st match between the two teams this season, as Trinbago Knight Riders look to build on their good record in this fixture. Victory in the final last year, after Khary Pierre took 3-29 to restrict Guyana to 147/9, before Colin Munro’s unbeaten 68 in an eight-wicket win, was their tenth outright in
