Key Players Set to Steal the Spotlight for GAW in the 26th Match of CPL 2025

As CPL 2025 moves forward, Guyana Amazon Warriors are set for match number 26 at Providence Stadium, where they hope to take advantage of being at home. They have shown flashes of brilliance during this season, but now is the time for Guyana to focus squarely on the players that can make the difference and help the side inflict a critical victory.

Batters

Shai Hope is having an exceptional season for the Warriors with 346 runs from 7 innings and a strike rate of 127.67. Hope is the type of player who will remain calm at the crease and can play the anchor and slow down the scoring rate, and when needed, can play explosive innings. His top score of 82 this season is a statement of his ability to play match-defining innings under pressure.

As for Ben McDermott, he is the prototypical power-hitter the Warriors can rely on to turn the game in a matter of overs. In six innings involved in the tournament thus far, McDermott scored 157 runs at an explosive strike rate of 157.00, including a high score of 75 runs. McDermott’s best performances come when the Warriors urgently need runs, and he can be particularly aggressive during the middle overs.

All-Rounders

Moeen Ali brings balance to the Warriors’ batting line-up as an all-rounder. While he has only played six innings, scoring 46 runs and taking a wicket, he offers more than merely runs, with his experience and ability to take control of a game in tight quarters. With the capacity to rotate the strike and bowl hard to take wickets, Moeen is a flexible all-rounder, particularly in the middle phase of the match, where one or two moments can be match-defining.

Romario Shepherd has been another pivotal figure after scoring 135 runs and taking six wickets during his seven outings. Few players influence both innings the way Shepherd does. His batting injects quick runs, while his bowling often arrives like a wrecking ball for settled pairs.

Bowlers

In-form spin wizard Imran Tahir has been devastating this season, taking 14 wickets from seven innings, including a best of 5/21. Tahir’s capacity for both turn and variable bounce will be essential on a pitch where spinners will have more help later in the match. Tahir’s variations and experience controlling the middle overs mean he is always a concern for the opposition and can unsettle any batting line-up, no matter how explosive.

Motie complements Tahir superbly with his sharp left-arm accuracy. In seven appearances, he collected eight wickets, his best effort being 2 for 16. Motie’s ability to find the right areas with the ball and have an impact with early movement can provide the Warriors with important breakthroughs in the power play. With Tahir and Motie together, they can do real damage to batting orders and ultimately swing a match in the favour of the Guyanese.
