Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Perth Scorchers XI Prediction & Match Preview – GSL

Guyana Amazon Warriors play Perth Scorchers XI in the 10th match of the Global Super League 2026, under lights at Providence Stadium on Wednesday 29 July. The first ball is due at 7:00 pm local time.

The home side are captained by Imran Tahir and boast a strong batting group: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Quentin Sampson, wicketkeeper Mohammad Haris, Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell. Mohammad Nabi, Gudakesh Motie, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius and Matthew Forde give them all-round and bowling depth. Johnson Charles and Keemo Paul are also in the wider squad.

Perth Scorchers XI, captained by Ashton Turner, are expected to field Andre Fletcher, D’Arcy Short, Joel Curtis and Usman Khan in the batting order, with Ashton Agar, Akeal Hosein, Jhye Richardson, Brody Couch and Sufyan Moqim handling the bowling.

The slow surface suits the Warriors’ spin options and local knowledge, and we expect them to prevail. With dew likely later, bowling first may be tempting for the captain who wins the toss, although a total above 165 would be a strong one to chase.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

The surface at Providence Stadium is typically slow and balanced, helping spinners and bowlers who vary their pace. The ball grips and holds, making strokeplay hard in the middle overs. Humid Caribbean conditions can bring some early movement for new-ball bowlers, but cutters and slower deliveries tend to work better than pure pace. Spinners often grow in influence as the match goes on, and batters must rotate strike and build patiently. Around 135–150 is considered competitive, with many sides preferring to bat first on a pitch that slows later.

Weather

The evening is forecast to be pleasant, with temperatures near 28°C, partly cloudy skies and a light breeze. Humidity should remain fairly high, so some dew could appear in the second innings, making it easier for batters and harder for bowlers to grip. The chance of rain is minimal, so a full match is expected.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 155–170
• 2nd innings: 145–160
