Dwaine Pretorius to Colin Munro, no run, on a length and around off - Munro stays back in defence

Dwaine Pretorius to Colin Munro, no run, short of a good length and a hint of shape back into the left-hander, stayed low and so did Munro as he bunted it to the off-side
Colin Munro and Alex Hales are at the crease. Colin Munro is on strike. Dwaine Pretorius will open the attack
We're on a fresh pitch for the last match at Providence. There's about a 16% chance of rain - 64m square either side and 74m down the ground. There are some really dry areas between clumps of grass. The grass becomes visible as you move along, but it's patchy and will make the ball slide. Interesting looking surface, there shouldn't be a lot of bounce and not much spin on offer, reckons Ian Bishop, in his pitch report.
Nic Pooran - We're fine to bat first. New surface, not sure how it'll play, but setting runs on the board could be good. We just reflected on our campaign and assessed things. We're still not out of the tournament. One change: Justin Greaves is in, he replaces Dexter Sween. We're backing our experience, we've done well batting first in Guyana previously and we're not too worried.
Imran Tahir - We will bowl first. New pitch, we want to see what we can take. Sometimes it spins more in the first innings and we want to take advantage. Another opportunity to represent Guyana; we are the lucky ones representing it and we want to do well. KP has a niggle, Permaul replaces him.
Teams:
Guyana Amazon Warriors (Playing XI): Glenn Phillips, Mavendra Dindyal, Shai Hope(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Quentin Sampson, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Shamar Joseph, Veerasammy Permaul, Imran Tahir(c)
Trinbago Knight Riders (Playing XI): Colin Munro, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran(c), Alex Hales, Kieron Pollard, Justin Greaves, Jyd Goolie, Joshua Da Silva(w), Akeal Hosein, Usman Tariq, Lahiru Kumara
Guyana Amazon Warriors have won the toss and have opted to field
18:00 Local Time, 22:00 GMT, 03:30 IST: The Patriots losing yesterday gave the Knight Riders a lifeline. But they still have plenty of work to do and then need plenty of luck. Not only will they have to beat the high-flying Warriors, they'll then have to hope that either the Tridents or the Kingsmen slip up in their remaining matches. It has been a patchy display from one of the star-studded outfits this season, but they are still alive and will first look to meet their required target. On the other hand, the Warriors are on song and have already sealed the number one slot. They have played some outstanding cricket and have won 7 out of their 8 matches so far. With a slot in QF 1 confirmed, will they make changes? Will they test the bench-strength ahead of the playoffs? Toss and team sheets coming up shortly..
