Dream11 Team for SLK vs GUY, 11th Match
Top Picks for SLK vs GUY, 11th Match
| Player | Team | Role | Key Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tim Seifert | SLK | C / WK-Batter | Captain in the supplied Dream11 team. He is back in Saint Lucia’s current squad after The Hundred and brings strong recent T20 form. ESPN lists him among the players to watch with 244 runs from six recent matches at an average of 48.80 and a strike rate above 184. |
| Roston Chase | SLK | All-Rounder | One of the safest fantasy choices. Chase is currently among the tournament’s leading wicket-takers with 7 wickets from four matches. He also scored 34 and took 2/30 against Barbados in Saint Lucia’s previous game. |
| Shai Hope | GUY | WK-Batter | Hope began the tournament with an unbeaten 56 from 41 balls against Jamaica, hitting four sixes while guiding Guyana home comfortably. |
| Imran Tahir | GUY | Bowler | Guyana’s captain took 2/26 from four overs in the opening victory. His leg-spin could become particularly useful if the Gros Islet surface grips after recent rain. |
| Glenn Phillips | GUY | All-Rounder | Phillips scored 28 from 17 balls in Guyana’s first match and also bowled one over for 1/5. His batting, bowling and fielding give him several routes to fantasy points. |
| Mohammad Nabi | GUY | All-Rounder | A strong alternative outside the screenshot. Nabi was Player of the Match against Jamaica after taking 4/22 and adding 19 runs. His place may depend on Guyana’s overseas combination if Gurbaz returns. |
| Ackeem Auguste | SLK | Batter | Another excellent alternative. Auguste smashed 63 from 34 balls against Barbados and has 87 runs from four CPL 2026 innings. |
Shimron Hetmyer remains a high-upside fantasy batter and is vice-captain in the screenshot, but he scored only one run in Guyana’s opening match. Based purely on current CPL 2026 form, Hope, Chase and Phillips have stronger recent evidence behind them.
Pitch Report
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Venue | Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia |
| Pitch Type | Generally balanced. Batters can score once set, but slower bowlers and spinners can become increasingly effective through the middle overs. |
| Recent Scoring | The most recent match here produced 177/5 and 168/7 in an 18-over contest. Another recent game saw St Kitts successfully chase Saint Lucia’s 155/8. |
| Pace vs Spin | Both can succeed. Moisture can help seamers early, while the surface can grip for spinners as the match develops. |
| Competitive Total | Around 155-170 should keep the bowling side interested, although conditions and any rain reduction could change the par score considerably. |
| Toss Factor | Weather and moisture give bowling first a slight edge, but recent results at the venue have produced both successful chases and successful defences. |
The latest completed game at Gros Islet was high-scoring despite being reduced to 18 overs. Barbados made 177/5 before Saint Lucia finished nine runs short. Roston Chase took two wickets, while Gudakesh Motie later claimed three for Barbados, showing that spin remained relevant even in a match that produced 345 runs in 36 overs.
A current venue assessment puts the average first-innings total from the recent completed CPL matches at roughly 143, although that figure should be treated cautiously because several Saint Lucia games have been affected by rain or shortened innings.
Recent rainfall also matters. Saint Lucia’s Meteorological Services reported 10 mm of rain in the previous 24 hours, so some moisture may remain around the venue.
Weather Report
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Daytime temperatures around 30-31°C, dropping into the upper 20s during the evening. |
| Sky | Increasing cloud is expected later in the day. |
| Rain Chance | Showers remain possible during the afternoon and evening. Current local forecasts place the chance around 40% during the day and around 50% at night. |
| Humidity | High humidity is expected. The official Saint Lucia weather service recently reported humidity around 72%, while local overnight readings have been higher. |
| Overall | A full match is possible, but rain is a genuine factor and a shortened contest cannot be ruled out. |
The latest Gros Islet forecast calls for increasing cloud and periods of showers later in the day, with approximately a 40% chance of daytime rain and 50% at night.
Rain has already affected several Saint Lucia games this season. The Kings’ win over Antigua was reduced to an eight-over chase by DLS, while their match against Barbados was shortened to 18 overs per side.
SLK vs GUY Toss Prediction
Bowling first gets a slight preference, mainly because of the possibility of rain and moisture at Gros Islet. A chasing side would know exactly what is required if the DLS method comes into play. The pitch can also offer some early movement when moisture is present.
Both teams also chose to bowl first in their most recent matches. Guyana’s decision worked perfectly against Jamaica. They dismissed the Kingsmen for 117 and completed the chase in only 14.1 overs.
Saint Lucia also elected to field against Barbados. That decision did not work as well, with Barbados posting 177/5 before the Kings fell nine runs short. It shows that bowling first is not automatically an advantage at this venue.
If Roston Chase (Saint Lucia Kings) wins the toss, expect him to consider bowling first again. The potential additions of Noor Ahmad and Tim Seifert strengthen both the bowling and chasing options, while Chase, Theekshana and Noor could become particularly useful if the pitch has moisture or starts gripping.
If Imran Tahir (Guyana Amazon Warriors) wins the toss, bowling first also looks likely. Tahir used that strategy successfully against Jamaica, where Nabi, Tahir, Shamar Joseph and the rest of the attack dismissed their opponents for 117.
Injury and Team News
Saint Lucia Kings
Saint Lucia Kings have had an uneven start with two wins and two defeats. They beat Antigua and Barbuda Falcons twice, including one rain-affected DLS result, but lost to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Barbados Tridents. They currently have four points from four games.
Their latest defeat still produced several encouraging performances. Ackeem Auguste made 63 from 34 balls, Roston Chase scored 34 from 21, and Matthew Forde finished unbeaten on 24. Chase and Shadley van Schalkwyk both took two wickets earlier in the match.
One player to monitor is Jewel Andrew. The wicketkeeper-batter retired hurt after scoring two from four balls against Barbados. He remains listed in the current Match 11 squad, but his final fitness should be checked before the toss.
The bigger team-selection change could involve Tim Seifert and Noor Ahmad. Both are now in the current squad after their Hundred commitments. A current pre-match assessment expects Seifert to replace temporary wicketkeeping cover and Noor to come into the bowling attack.
Key players: Roston Chase, Tim Seifert, Ackeem Auguste, Matthew Forde, Maheesh Theekshana and Noor Ahmad. Chase currently has seven wickets in four matches, while Auguste is coming off his best innings of the season.
Predicted Saint Lucia Kings XI: Tim Seifert (wk), Kamil Pooran, Ackeem Auguste, Charith Asalanka, Jewel Andrew, Roston Chase (c), Matthew Forde, Joshua Bishop, Noor Ahmad, McKenny Clarke, Maheesh Theekshana.
Seifert and Noor are expected to become available, but their inclusion is not confirmed until the official XI is announced.
Guyana Amazon Warriors
Guyana could hardly have asked for a better start to CPL 2026. They dismissed Jamaica Kingsmen for just 117 and won by six wickets with 35 balls remaining. Their +2.479 NRR is currently the best in the competition.
Mohammad Nabi was the standout performer with 4/22 from four overs. Imran Tahir and Shamar Joseph took two wickets each, while Glenn Phillips also picked up a wicket. Shai Hope then anchored the chase with an unbeaten 56 from 41 balls.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is now included in the Match 11 squad after missing the opening fixture. His availability creates an overseas-selection question. A current pre-match projection suggests Nabi could potentially make way if Guyana decide to bring Gurbaz straight into the side, although the final combination remains unconfirmed.
Glenn Phillips is fit and available. He played the opening victory, scoring 28 from 17 balls and taking 1/5 with the ball. That is important because he had dealt with an injury earlier in the summer but has already returned to competitive action.
Key players: Shai Hope, Mohammad Nabi, Imran Tahir, Glenn Phillips, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Hope and Nabi were the standout performers in Guyana’s first match.
Predicted Guyana Amazon Warriors XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Glenn Phillips, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Mavendra Dindyal, Quentin Sampson, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Khary Pierre, Shamar Joseph, Imran Tahir (c).
If Guyana retain Mohammad Nabi after his Player-of-the-Match performance, Gurbaz could instead remain outside the XI or force a different overseas change. This is the main Guyana selection call to watch at the toss.
Fantasy update: The supplied Dream11 team has several strong picks, but Tim Seifert, Noor Ahmad and Rahmanullah Gurbaz should all be checked once the playing XIs are confirmed because none featured for their respective teams in their previous CPL match. Roston Chase and Shai Hope are safer choices based on confirmed CPL 2026 performances so far.
