Saint Lucia Kings have won the toss and have opted to field
When it comes to the batting, Saint Lucia Kings openers - Faf du Plessis and Johnson Charles have done an excellent job at the top. Meanwhile, for the Warriors, Hope and Hetmyer have scored most of the runs. Both the teams have some match-winning all-rounders as well. With so many in-form players, this contest between the Warriors and Kings is expected to go down to the wire. The forecast doesn't look promising with some rain around, but hopefully we get a full T-20 contest. Stay around for the toss and teams..
There have been some excellent individual performances by the players of both the teams throughout the season and both these teams to deserve to be in the final. Guyana Amazon Warriors won the tournament last year and the defending champions will be looking forward to clinching their second consecutive title. Skipper Imran Tahir has been impressive as always as the veteran has taken 16 wickets in the tournament, but Gudakesh Motie has played a pivotal role too. With 17 wickets this season, Motie has been a major contributor in Guyana's success.
