CPL 2024 Qualifier 2: Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Barbados Royals: Dream11 Prediction
GUY vs BR Dream11 Prediction: Guyana Amazon Warriors are the favourites to win this contest due to their strong form and head-to-head record. Their bowling line-up, which includes Gudakesh Motie and Imran Tahir, is capable of putting pressure on the opposition batsmen.
Moreover, the batting of Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope can also help Guyana post a high score. If they maintain control in both their batting and bowling, they can turn the match in their favour.
