The Guyana Amazon Warriors will take on Perth Scorchers XI in Match 10 of the Global Super League (GSL) 2026 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday, July 30.
The Amazon Warriors have enjoyed a perfect campaign so far, winning all three of their matches to sit comfortably at the top of the points table. Their balanced squad has delivered with both bat and ball, making them one of the strongest teams in the competition.
Here is Guyana Amazon Warriors’ predicted playing XI for Match 10.
Top-order: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Quentin Sampson, Mohammad Haris (wk)
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is expected to continue opening the batting after his brilliant knock in the previous game. The Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter smashed 65 runs off just 35 deliveries, hitting six fours and five sixes to provide Guyana with a flying start. He will once again be the key batter at the top.
Quentin Sampson had an off day in the last match, scoring just one run. However, the young batter has been among the team’s consistent performers, scoring 219 runs in his last 10 T20 matches at a strike rate of over 152.
Mohammad Haris looked in good touch against Lahore Qalandars, scoring 34 off 28 balls. The aggressive wicketkeeper-batter can accelerate in the middle overs and will look to build another valuable partnership with Gurbaz.
Middle-order: Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd
Shimron Hetmyer remains one of Guyana’s biggest match-winners despite getting out for eight in the previous game. The left-hander can change the momentum of the match in just a few overs.
Captain Rovman Powell will be eager to bounce back after being dismissed for a duck against Lahore Qalandars. His finishing ability makes him an important player in the middle order.
Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi provides balance with both bat and ball. Although he managed only two runs in the last match, he chipped in with a wicket and bowled an economical spell.
Romario Shepherd once again showed his value with a quickfire 29 off 19 deliveries before picking up a wicket with the ball. His all-round contributions make him one of Guyana’s most important players.
Bowlers: Gudakesh Motie, Dwaine Pretorius, Matthew Forde, Imran Tahir (c)
Gudakesh Motie has been Guyana’s standout bowler this season. The left-arm spinner starred in the previous game with outstanding figures of 4/15 and has taken 18 wickets in his last 10 T20 matches. He will once again lead the spin attack.
Dwaine Pretorius continues to be a reliable option with the new ball and at the death. The experienced South African claimed two wickets against Lahore Qalandars and has picked up 14 wickets in his last 10 T20 matches.
Matthew Forde adds extra pace to the bowling attack. Although he was slightly expensive in the previous outing, he managed to pick up an important wicket and can trouble batters with his pace and bounce.
Veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir will captain the side and complete the bowling unit. The experienced campaigner claimed one wicket in the last match and will be expected to control the middle overs with his variations as Guyana look to maintain their unbeaten run in the tournament.
