CPL 2023: Match 8, SLK vs GAW, Probable XIs; Amazon Warriors looks to start Tournament on positive note with a better performance

The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Guyana Amazon Warriors, Match 8 of the Caribbean Premier League 2023 will be played on 24th August.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots are placed at the 3rd spot in the Caribbean Premier League 2023 points table with one loss from their 3 matches of the league. The team has 2 points.

Patriots were well beaten by Tallawahs on Thursday by eight wickets after posting a competitive 156.

Joshua Da Silva is the top run-scorer for St Kitts & Nevis Patriots with 36 runs at a strike rate of 112. He has struck 2 sixes and 3 fours. Dominic Drakes has also made 29 runs at a strike rate of 131.

Oshane Thomas has been the best bowler for St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and has picked up one wicket while bowling at an average of 25 and an economy rate of 6.25.

Pre-season fears that their pace-heavy attack would be pricey were realised. Tallawahs got to their total in the 17th over.

They are hugely reliant on Evin Lewis and Andre Fletcher in the opening berth, two of only three specialist batters. Hence Josh Da Silva batting at No 3. Ambati Rayudu made a duck.

Probable XI: Lewis, Fletcher, Da Silva, Bosch, Rayudu, Rutherford, Linde, Drakes, Cottrell, Muzarbani, Rutherford
