The Caribbean Premier League T20 cricket season is down to the wire with a tight race for playoff spots, and fans can watch live online as the Guyana Amazon Warriors look to leap from fifth place to second if they can beat the St. Lucia Zouks in a crucial Friday night match.
Guyana, last year’s finalists, got off to a slow start in the 2015 CPL campaign, dropping three of their first four matches, including a narrow, two-run defeat to St. Lucia in a rain-abbreviated 18-over match on June 26. But the squad, captained by West Indies Test skipper Dinesh Ramdin, has since turned things around, winning their last two to position themselves for an attack on the top four with their final three games.
To find out how to watch the Guyana Amazon Warriors vs. St. Lucia Zouks Caribbean Premier League Match Number 26 live online, use the streaming link in the final paragraph of this story. First ball at Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, is scheduled for 8 p.m. Guyana Standard Time on Friday, July 17, which is the same as United States Eastern Daylight Time, 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
With seven points from their seven games, with one rain-soaked no-result, the fifth-place Amazon Warriors would tie the second-place Zouks on points with a win on Friday. But Guyana currently maintains a superior net run rate — +0.704 compared to -0.670 for St. Lucia — and that wouldn’t change with a victory.
That means a third-straight win for Guyana vaults the once-struggling side into second place on the NRR tiebreaker, a spot, which if they hold it, qualifies them for an automatic berth on the CPL 2015 semifinal match on July 23 at Queens Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
With the first-place Barbados Tridents unexpectedly falling to the last-place Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel in Thursday, the playoff picture remains wide open. In fact, Guyana faces Barbados at Providence Stadium on Saturday, and if they win that match following a win Friday over St. Lucia, the Amazon Warriors would rather improbably take over first place with one game lefton their schedule.
