Guyana Amazon Warriors have won the toss and have opted to field

Roston Chase - We would have bowled, but we need to put our best foot forward with the bat. We need to focus on bowling in powerplay and finish well with the bat. Three changes for us with all the injuries.

Imran Tahir - We will bowl. Just the conditions—the conditions are in our mind—and we will look to play good cricket. There's a bit of bounce and the fast bowlers are always in the game. Adapt to the conditions quickly - we're playing the same team, no need to change. Gurbaz is a fine player, but he's just joined us.

There's a 40% chance of rain: 64m and 61m square boundaries, 73 straight hit. It's a bit slower for spin, they'll have to readjust.

There was a lot of live grass in the first three games, but this pitch looks bare. It should be dry and slow, making it easier for the batters, reckons Niall O'Brien in his pitch report.

Andries Gous and Kamil Pooran are at the crease.

Andries Gous is on strike.

Khary Pierre will open the attack

0.1

Khary Pierre to Andries Gous, no run, tossed up just outside off, Gous prods forward defensively

0.2

Khary Pierre to Andries Gous, FOUR, nicely played, fraction short and just outside off - Gous backs away, opens up the off-side and beats Nabi to his left at cover with a punchy cut

1.6

Dwaine Pretorius to Kamil Pooran, FOUR, banged in short and just outside off - Pooran runs down the pitch, looked like he was cramped for room on the cut, but manages to flay it over point with an open face

swipes across the line and missed

1.4

Dwaine Pretorius to Kamil Pooran, SIX, clubbed, fraction short and just outside off - Pooran picks the length early, swivels across onto the pull and then hoists it high over long-on for a maximum

2.6

6

Khary Pierre to Kamil Pooran, SIX, clubbed, and the ball has enough to clear Shamar's leap at wide mid-wicket - tossed up slower and just outside off, Pooran cleared his front-leg and slogged it onto the on-side. Shamar was right at the ropes as he arched back, but it hit his hands and popped over the ropes

Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.5

Dwaine Pretorius to Kamil Pooran, out Caught by Shai Hope!! An audible edge and the Kings have lost their first wicket - was the slower bouncer that was bowled into the pitch, Pooran had backed away on the pull, but he's undone by the extra bounce and loops a simple top-edge through to Shai Hope.
