Top Picks for GUY vs BR Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batsmen
Shimron Hetmyer has looked in fine touch lately and Guyana Amazon Warriors will want him to shine again. In five matches so far, he has slammed 146 runs.
Glenn Phillips is another batsman to watch out for in this contest. So far, the New Zealand dasher has slammed 127 runs in five games.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Jason Holder can be a game-changer on his day. Although the Royals captain hasn’t been at his best this season, the pacer still has three wickets in his kitty.
Mohammad Hafeez has certainly aged like fine wine and only seems to get better with time. He has been exceptional with both bat and ball this season. So far, the veteran has slammed 137 runs, alongside taking four wickets.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Nyeem Young made his CPL debut in the last game and enjoyed a fruitful outing. Although Barbados Royals lost the contest by two wickets, the pacer picked up 3 important wickets.
Romario Shepherd has been breathing fire in this year’s CPL 2021. In 3 matches, he scalped as many as nine wickets. Hence, the Kings must be aware of him.
Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
Nicholas Pooran is undoubtedly the best choice for the wicketkeepers’ slot. The dashing southpaw played some delightful shots against St Lucia Kings. Pooran went after the bowlers from the outset and scored 41 off 26 deliveries. He has also been clinical behind the stumps.

Although Shai Hope is a proven star of this format, he hasn’t done well this season. In five games, he has only scored 88 runs.

For his current form with both bat and ball, it’s hard to accommodate Ashley Nurse in the final eleven.
