After four home games that were chockfull of excitement and thrills on and off the field, the Guyana Amazon Warriors will soon depart to continue their 2017 Hero Caribbean Premier League quest for ultimate glory – deserving capture of the CPL 2017 Championship Trophy.
With two key round-robin matches remaining, the Warriors will hopefully subdue the Barbados Tridents on Tuesday before disappointing the Jamaica Tallawahs on Friday, September 1, and thus qualify for the playoffs.
Incredibly, for the first time in CPL history, the Guyana Amazon Warriors have found themselves in this desperate situation –where their hitherto unblemished record could be tarnished by their missing the playoffs if they do not win their remaining encounters. Therefore, it is imperative that Guyana’s willowed Warriors progress to the next round by improving on the previous substandard performances displayed in earlier clashes.
To accomplish this feat, the Amazon Warriors’ batsmen will have to deal with the opposition in a manner similar to what to what they displayed in their last two matches. If they do, and complement the bowlers, then positive results are inevitable in the upcoming matches.
The clash against the Tridents is expected to be the more difficult of the two campaigns, although the Warriors had administered defeat to the Tridents on Sunday.
The Tallawahs cannot be written off, but judging from the previous match between the two sides, the Warriors must find the tenacity to go all the way; because the Warriors had dominated most of the last encounter, yet inexplicably managed to fall short, making their qualifying for the playoffs more difficult than it should have been.
Nevertheless, the opportunity to qualify still exists, but everything depends on the outcome of the next two matches.
Happy hunting, Guyana Amazon Warriors!
