The second match of what promises to be a cracking double-header in the CPL 2020 pits the Guyana Amazon Warriors against the Trinbago Knight Riders on Thursday.
The Knight Riders haven't missed a beat in this tournament with three wins in three games at the time of writing. With a plethora of stars at their disposal, the Knight Riders have solidified their status as the hot favourites for CPL 2020.
Their opponents, the Warriors, have been quite inconsistent with only two wins in five outings. With time running out for Chris Green and his men, it is high time for last year's runners-up.
The corresponding fixture between the two sides saw the Trinbago Knight Riders pull off a thrilling victory despite a brilliant fifty from Shimron Hetmyer. With the tournament entering its business end, both teams will be looking for the all-important win.
