Every game in the 2021 Caribbean Premier League is being held at Warner Park on St Kitts, in an effort to minimise the Covid-19 risk to the tournament.
Two sides struggling for momentum meet each other desperate for a victory.
Guyana Amazon Warriors have won two of their five matches, while Barbados Royals have lost four of their first five.
Barbados gave St Kkitts & Nevis Patriots a run for their money in their most recent encounter, before losing by two wickets.
Guyana, meanwhile, go into the match off the back of a thoroughly disappointing performance with the bat against St Lucia Kings.
The Amazon Warriors were bowled out for just 98 in pursuit of a modest total for the win.
Glenn Phillips is Barbados Royals' most consistent batsman so far this season, with 127 runs at a little under 32. However, the New Zealander has struggled to find his most destructive form, with his runs coming at a strike rate of just 108.
For Guyana Amazon Warriors, both Shimron Hetmyer and Mohammad Hafeez feature in the top five runscorers in the competition - ahead of Saturday's action Hetmyer had 146 and Hafeez 137.
With the ball, Guyana have two of the most in-form players in the CPL so far this term.
Imran Tahir has taken nine wickets and boasts and economy rate of just 5.5, while Romario Shepherd has taken six scalps and has an economy rate of 5.45.
