The Qualifier 1 in the ongoing CPL 2025 is set to witness Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) take on Guyana Amazon Warriors (GUY) for a place in the Qualifier 2, at the Providence Stadium, Guyana, on Thursday, September 18.

The Kings finished at the top of the table with five wins and three losses in 10 matches. While the Warriors finished second with the same number of points as the table topper, with only net run rate separating the two teams. The winner of the contest will take on the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Qualifier 2 fixture.

The surface at the Providence Stadium has traditionally been slow, assisting spinners and making stroke play challenging. The captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first to put runs on the board. A total in the range of 180-190 is expected to be highly competitive, as chasing on this wicket is never easy.

Tim Seifert(w), Johnson Charles, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim David, Aaron Jones, Delano Potgieter, David Wiese(c), Khary Pierre, Keon Gaston, Tabraiz Shamsi

Ben McDermott, Quentin Sampson, Shai Hope(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Shamarh Brooks, Moeen Ali, Dwaine Pretorius, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Imran Tahir(c)

Guyana Amazon Warriors' Shai Hope has been in stunning form in the tournament so far. He leads the list of run-getters in CPL 2025, having amassed 447 runs from 10 matches at an average of 55.87 and a strike rate of 132.24. The West Indian has given his team some solid contributions and would like to continue his purple patch on Thursday.

Guyana Amazon Warriors' skipper Imran Tahir could be the bowler to watch out for in the match. He is the leading wicket-taker in CPL 2025, with 18 scalps from 10 matches. The leg spinner is averaging 16.11 and has an economy rate of 7.25. Kings will have to be wary of Tahir's four-over spell.
