Kaieteur Sports – Arch Rivals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will be tussling in a grudge rematch, this time in the backyard of the Imran Tahir-led team, as action shifts to the Guyana National Stadium, Providence from 19:00h tonight.
With a change of venue being in favor of the Warriors who will play their first game at home, TKR will be set on keeping their win streak alive against come tonight.

Spin ace Akeal Hosein was the x-factor at home along with some help from Terrance Hinds, Mohammed Amir, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine.
Rearguard Tahir should look to contain the TKR batting front as he did in the last game, where he almost walked away with 5 wickets.
Much will be required of the Warriors star bowling attack, most notably; Romario Shepherd, Jediah Blades, Gudakesh Motie, Moeen Ali, Shamar Joseph, Hassan Khan and Dwaine Pretorius, all of which had wicket-less returns against TKR; despite having good performances during Thursday night’s win.
With Alex Hales and Colin Munro fresh off fifties against the Warriors core bowling unit, Nick Pooran and Keacy Carty could likely show out tonight after their woes in the previous encounter.
The experienced hands of Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard won the battle for TKR a few nights ago when these two old rivals met, adding to the weight of their presence in this all important clash.
Warriors batting has been iffy over the past few games, apart from leading run-scorer Shai Hope and pinch-hitters Shepherd and Pretorius, who carved a match-winning fifty on Thursday, much will be required of the rest.
Quentin Sampson has been the difference-maker for the Warriors after two games, his timing and power-hitting ability has been a part of his repository and will be key for Guyana should they end up in a tough situation.
With Ben McDermott, Khan and a few others struggling it is likely Guyana will go for a few changes, despite sneaking a win past the Royals in the last encounter.
TKR with 12 points will be looking to shoot up from their second place position, especially being tied with the number one ranked St. Lucia Kings.
Meanwhile, the Warriors find themselves in a precarious position with their 6 points being in 4th place and in desperate need of a win as they seek to stay alive this season. (Clifton Ross)
