Milestone
A dampener in the end as the umpires have decided to call off the game due to bad weather. The captains shake their ends to signal the end. Let us hope the last league match between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Barbados Royals can go ahead. Until then, it is goodbye from myself, Karthik Raj, co-commentator Vatsal and our scorer Paras!
22:28 IST| The covers are coming off and the umpires are out there for inspection. We should have an official start time soon.
21:58 IST| The umpires are in the middle having a word with the groundsmen. It has stopped raining and the super-soppers are clearing the water. We should get a start time in a short while.
20:48 IST: No real update to the situation as the drizzle is still on with the covers being unmoved.
19:53 IST: The drizzle is still on at the venue and the covers are intact on the ground. The wait gets a little longer.
19:33 IST: The rain has disappeared, and the super-soppers are on duty. There is a bit of water on the sheets which would take a while to get cleared.

Faf du Plessis (St Lucia Kings Skipper): "It’s a
day game and the skipper winning the toss look to bowl first to utilize the early

Pitch Report: The conditions at Guyana’s Providence Stadium are known to be conducive for batters, with something on offer for the spinners as well. The average first innings total at the venue after the first four matches this CPL 2022 season has been 173. While the average total score has been 163.
Both Tallawahs and Kings have secured four wins and sustained five defeats out of their nine respective matches this season. However, the Kings are placed above Tallawahs on the points table, courtesy of a higher net run rate.
The Kings are placed third in the standings. They lost their most recent outing to the Amazon Warriors and the defeat snapped their three-match winning streak in the competition.
The Tallawahs, on the other hand, have lost four of their previous five fixtures, thus losing track and squandering their confident start to the season. The upcoming contest is a must-win for both sides, considering a win at the end of the league stage will strengthen their chances of a top-two finish before the playoffs.
Toss and team updates coming up shortly.
