Team Previews
Windward Islands Infernos Preview
The Windward Islands Infernos enter the 2025 season with a well-rounded squad combining youth and experience. Alick Athanaze and Dillon Douglas are expected to anchor the batting order. Douglas, known for his explosive style, will be crucial at the top. In the middle order, Ackeem Auguste and Teddy Bishop will aim to keep the scoring momentum going. Shadrack Descarte and Shamar Springer bring balance to the team as genuine all-rounders.
Springer, especially, is a key figure in the Infernos’ plans. He can provide early breakthroughs and also finish games with the bat. Noelle Leo and Lee John are expected to handle the pace bowling duties, while Avinash Mahabirsingh and Darel Cyrus can rotate the middle overs with spin.
The team has a good mix of firepower and depth, and their fielding unit is energetic and sharp. If their top order fires, the Infernos could prove a real threat in the tournament opener.
Guyana Rainforest Rangers Preview
Guyana Rainforest Rangers bring with them a squad filled with players known for their T20 prowess. Kevin Sinclair, a genuine all-rounder, is the heartbeat of the side. He can bowl economically in the powerplay and also chip in with crucial runs down the order. His recent improvement with the bat makes him a game-changer.
Ashmead Nedd will handle the spin department. Known for strangling opposition batters in the middle overs, Nedd’s variations will be key, especially on the spin-friendly surface at Tarouba. Rivaldo Clarke, a hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batter, is expected to open the innings with either Kemol Savory or Kevlon Anderson.
Jediah Blades and Nial Smith will spearhead the fast-bowling attack, while Richie Looknauth will support Nedd with leg-spin. The team boasts plenty of options with both bat and ball but must overcome their inconsistency in the middle order.
If their bowlers can control the flow early on, Guyana could cause trouble for any opposition.

Favourite Team Today: Windward Islands Infernos
Windward Islands Infernos enter this match with the stronger squad on paper. Their top-order firepower led by Dillon Douglas and Alick Athanaze can set the tone early, while the middle-order balance from Ackeem Auguste and Shadrack Descarte ensures depth. All-rounder Shamar Springer’s versatility adds an X-factor. Their bowling attack, although not the flashiest, is well-rounded with pace and spin. With explosive hitters and wicket-taking bowlers, they have the firepower to dominate both innings. Additionally, home conditions and familiarity with the Brian Lara Stadium surface give them a slight edge. Unless Guyana Rainforest Rangers pull off something special, Windward look favourites.
