LCPL t20 cricket tonight at Providence Guyana Amazon Warriors aim to melt Red Steel
Guyana Amazon Warriors will aim to melt the Red Steel line-up when the sides face-off for the fourth time in the second edition of the Limacol Caribbean Premier League (LCPL) tournament this evening at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence from 19:30hrs under floodlights.
In their three previous meetings last year in the inaugural tournament, the Guyana based unit got the better of the Red Steel by 19 runs at Providence before the ‘Warriors’ lost by three runs in their home base in Port-of-Spain.
But the South American based team bounced back to notch up a comfortable seven-wicket semi-final win in the Red Steel’s own backyard to take a 2-1 lead in CPL matches.

But the Red Steel Skipper Dwayne Bravo said that while Guyana held the upper hand in the wins Column and they are a tough team, especially at Providence, this was a new year.
The Amazon Warriors Captain Denish Ramdin said that both teams won their opening games and are both well balanced units. The Trinidadian however felt that the team which better handles the pressure tonight should emerge victorious.
The Warriors beat the Antigua Hawksbills by two wickets in their first game in the 2014 competition as Jimmy Neesham took three wickets and Sunil Narine bowled four overs for three runs. Ramdin had scored 51 and Mohamed Hafeez made 35 to see the Warriors to 140-8 with three balls to spare.
Red Steel on the other hand got past Barbados by seven wickets with 15 balls to spare as Ross Taylor top scored with 62 and Darren Bravo supported with 54 in a 95 run third wicket stand.
Tickets cost $5,000 for the Party Stand and $4,000 for the Red and Green stands, while entry to the grass mound is $2,000.
