Who's got the form?

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, last year's champions, are winless through three matches so far, while Guyana Amazon Warriors lost their opener against Jamaica Tallawahs, for whom Rovman Powell smashed 44. For Guyana, Shimron Hetmyer faced 45 balls for 39, while Shai Hope's 30-ball 25 was similarly painstaking.

For Patriots, Andre Fletcher smashed 81 against Barbados Royals but was virtually unsupported throughout, with their total chased down with 29 balls remaining. They suffered a similarly brutal defeat against Tallawahs.

What's the match-up to watch?

Amazon Warriors' strongest suit is their pair of South African wrist-spinners - Imran Tahir and Tabraiz Shamsi - both of whom have come to the CPL from The Hundred and individually have started well for their franchise. Patriots, meanwhile, have compatriots of the spinners in Dewald Brevis, Dwaine Pretorius and Duan Jansen, brother of giant seamer Marco.

Guyana will also need more from Shai Hope and new captain Shimron Hetmyer in the middle order; the pair allowed Chris Green to concede just five runs in his four overs last time out.

What's the news from the camps?

Evin Lewis was due to return for Patriots last time out after injury, only for rain to force an abandonment of Patriots' clash with Trinbago Knight Riders.
