SAINT LUCIA KINGS FORM: FIRST QUALIFIER VICTORY GIVES KINGS SHOT AT FIRST TROPHY
Saint Lucia Kings last reached the Caribbean Premier League final back in 2021 when they were beaten by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in an absolute nailbiter that went right to the last ball. After finishing second-place in the 2024 league stage, the Kings took down Guyana in the first qualifier to give themselves a free pass into the final.
GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS FORM: WARRIORS ADVANCE THE HARD WAY
Following defeat at the hands of Saint Lucia Kings, Guyana Amazon Warriors had to make the most of their second qualifier opportunity in order to progress through to this final. They did just that, overcoming Barbados Royals comfortably by eight wickets after chasing down 149 in just 14.3 overs with their top three all scoring 40 runs or more.
SAINT LUCIA KINGS BETTING ANALYSIS
Saint Lucia Kings’ wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad has proven the key point of difference across the tournament, bamboozling opposition batters and picking up 19 wickets in total, the most of any player. The Afghanistan star is a constant wicket-taking threat with every delivery he bowls and bettors should look to capitalise on his form. Back Ahmad to take over 1.5 match wickets in this final.
GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS BETTING ANALYSIS
Another Afghanistan star who could have a huge role to play across the final is Rahmanullah Gurbaz of Guyana Amazon Warriors. Gurbaz boasts serious power opening the batting and will have license to tee off inside the powerplay regardless of whether Guyana are setting or chasing a victory target. Investment in Gurbaz’s big-hitting prowess has to be favoured, specifically to score over 0.5 match sixes across the Warriors’ innings.
SAINT LUCIA KINGS VS GUYANA AMAZON WARRIORS EXPERT PREDICTION
Guyana Amazon Warriors won both league stage encounters between these two sides, but Saint Lucia Kings got the better of Guyana in the first qualifier. This match will likely be decided by the performance of the big-name aces on both sides whether it be Shimron Hetmyer, Johnson Charles or even Faf du Plessis. But the experience of winning it all in the past has to be taken into account. Guyana knows what it takes to get over the line in a big final, whereas Saint Lucia Kings have always fallen short. In what should be a thrilling final, back Guyana Amazon Warriors to get over the line and make it back-to-back CPL titles.
