GSL 2025: Batters to Watch in the Match 2 of GAW vs RAR

If you’re preparing for the 2nd game of GSL 2025 with the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) facing off with the Rangpur Riders (RAR), you’re just going to be in a fun few hours of big hitting action (if you like explosive cricket that is)! With some impressive players set to bat, the question every fan should be asking is, ‘Which batter will be the champion?’ Today, we will look at who the key players are that could potentially change the game, and why you will want to stay in front of the screen. Warning, there is a lot of explosive cricket ahead!

Shimron Hetmyer 

Shimron Hetmyer has been a name that has become synonymous with power hitting and flair, and his statistics this season prove this point. With 229 runs from 10 matches at a healthy average of 28.63 with a strike rate of 145.85, it is clear Hetmyer has been in form and keen to thrive. 

Hetmyer not only has power, but he has also matured in timing and placement, making him a double threat. When things get tight, expect Shimron to bring that Rastafarian swagger to the crease and hit the ball a long way. If you like big-hitting, this is the batter for you.

Mohammad Naim 

Returning to Rangpur Riders, Mohammad Naim is quietly making a statement in GSL 2025. Three games in, he has scored a total of 217 runs, averaging 217, and a strike rate of 159.55. Do those numbers mean anything? Yes, they do, the numbers exemplify that he is consistent and he has a destructive mindset. 

He is a batter who can quickly shift the tone of the game with a boundary or six, so he can quickly change gears. This element is vital to success in the T20 format. Rangpur wants to assert their control of the game from the very start, and Naim is the player to do it, so please do not take your eyes off him when he is on strike because you can easily miss him sending a six out of the stadium!

Moeen Ali 

While Moeen Ali may not have the most exciting stats for GAW thus far, 166 runs from 10 matches and a paltry average of 20.75 do not discount the impact he can have. With a strike rate of 117.73, he gives stability and has experience and the ability to play a role as a calm head when the situation is frantic. 

Moeen’s all-round game and thinking make him can ‘gear’ when needed, and this can be important at critical times. Moeen can amalgamate defence with brief moments of aggression, and this means he could be a match-winner under the right circumstances, particularly if the conditions are conducive for spin or slower bowlers. Stick with Moeen, because sometimes the quiet ones hit the hardest.

So, who is going to be the star attraction in the 2nd GSL 2025 match, Guyana Amazon Warriors versus Rangpur Riders? Will Shimron Hetmyer continue his destructive ways, will Mohammad Naim blow Rangpur to victory, or will Moeen Ali show up and pull off some brilliant innings? One thing is for sure – we will see some fireworks, as there are some talented batsmen to entertain us. As a fan, all you need to do is sit back, get your snacks, and enjoy. Which batter do you think will dominate the game? Put your thoughts down and let’s start the cricket banter!
