TKR vs GUY Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's CPL 2020 Match - August 18th, 2020
T20 franchise cricket is finally back as the much-awaited Caribbean Premier League 2020 kicks off with a mouthwatering clash between the Trinbago Knight Riders and the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.
With the pandemic still at large all across the globe, this year's CPL will be taking place in Trinidad, much to the delight of former champions Trinbago Knight Riders.
Boasting of T20 superstars such as Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and Dwayne Bravo, TKR is the hot favourites heading into this competition, although their opponents Guyana Amazon Warriors aren't far off.
Runners-up in the previous edition, Guyana would look to go a step further this time around and will bank on the likes of Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran in the middle order.
Both teams look well-matched on paper with a good blend of youth and experience, paving the way for a cracking start to what should be an entertaining CPL 2020.
