The Hundred is a professional franchise 100-ball cricket tournament involving eight men’s and eight women’s teams located in major cities across England and Wales. The tournament is run by the England and Wales Cricket Board and took place for the first time in July and August 2021.
Get ready for an explosive cricket face-off! The Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Trinbago Knight Riders are all set to clash in the first qualifier of the 2023 CPL. The stage? The picturesque Providence Stadium in Guyana. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 20, or if you’re tuning in from India, it’s early Thursday morning, September 21.
Guyana Amazon Warriors
Captain Imran Tahir’s squad has been an unstoppable force in the tournament, grabbing eight victories out of ten games and taking the top spot with a staggering net run rate of +1.725. Their morale is sky-high after demolishing the Barbados Royals by a whooping 88 runs. Shai Hope is in blistering form, and his last innings—106 runs off just 44 balls—speaks for itself.
Trinbago Knight Riders
Not to be outdone, Kieron Pollard’s brigade concluded their league stage on a high note with 13 points and a respectable net run rate of +0.903. However, they’ll be looking to shake off the loss they suffered at the hands of the Warriors in their previous meeting. Keacy Carty’s 83 off 49 was a highlight, but it couldn’t save the day. Time for redemption?

Picking a winner here is like splitting hairs. If you’re a betting person, my money’s on the team that bats second. The chasing team might just steal the show this time.
So, grab your popcorn (or your cricket analysis notepad if you’re into that like me), because this one’s going to be a match you won’t want to miss!
