Predicting GAW’s Playing XI for the 13th Match against STK in CPL 2025

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2025) is gathering pace. The Guyana Amazon Warriors, facing the St Lucia Kings in their 13th match, are in good spirits, riding high after a crushing 83-run victory against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. The Warriors scored a towering 211/3 in 20 overs, with a ruthless display of powerful batting and electric bowling, and to follow this match at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium should provide plenty of entertainment with the Warriors looking to build on their winning streak and try to climb higher on the points table.

Openers

Every Warriors’ innings finds stability in Shai Hope. His innings of 82 off 54 balls against the Falcons exemplified his ability to anchor innings and accelerate at the appropriate time with a stunning 151.85 strike rate. Hope’s composure and elegant strokeplay are invaluable at the top of the order, providing a strong base, punishing any loose deliveries that come his way. Sharing the new ball with Hope, Ben McDermott, though not dismissed cheaply (with 8 in the last game), has the aggressive approach and an eye for how to play powerplay overs.

Middle Order

Hetmyer is the glue that holds the Warriors’ middle order together. His 65 not out from just 26 balls the previous night against the Falcons, with five sixes, showed his game-changing potential as well as being able to turn a match around single-handedly. Hetmyer is a power hitter with smart shot selection and is an ideal player to finish the game or rev up the run rate when a solid platform has been laid down. Kevlon Anderson, who contributed 22 from 25 balls in the last match, adds depth and stability to the middle order for the Warriors.

All-Rounders

Romario Shepherd is the perfect game-changer for the Warriors. His 25 off just 8 balls in the last match completely changed the innings, and his bowling ability balances the side. Shepherd’s ability to take vital wickets and create pressure makes him very important in both departments. Dwaine Pretorius, while not having much use with the bat, can take vital wickets with the ball and did make some inroads with 2 for 44 in the last match. The all-rounders allow the Warriors to remain relevant in every period of the match.

Bowlers

Imran Tahir will once again be the Warriors’ trump card in the bowling department. In his most recent match with the ball against the Falcons, he produced a clinic in spin, delivering his famous variations with control and wicket-taking ability that can destabilise any batting line-up. Fortunately for the Warriors, Gudakesh Motie is also contributing in his spells, only giving up 19 runs in his first spell, bowling one wicket. This spin duo will love bowling on a Gros Islet pitch that tends to assist turning deliveries, and they will be the bowlers to watch.
