Guyana Ama­zon War­riors man­ag­er Omar Khan says his team will have no fear when they face de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers (TKR) in their forth­com­ing Hero Caribbean Pre­mier League matchup.

The War­riors be­came the first team to qual­i­fy for the play­off stage af­ter record­ing six suc­ces­sive wins last week. They will meet the St Lu­cia Zouks at the Dar­ren Sam­my Sta­di­um in St Lu­cia from 6 pm to­day look­ing for win num­ber sev­en and meet TKR for the first time this sea­son on Mon­day.

But speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia at the team’s base at San­dals in St Lu­cia on Tues­day, Khan said their form this sea­son is such that they fear no one this sea­son.

“It’s not about fear­ing the TKR, it is about be­ing in the right state of mind to bat­tle when the oc­ca­sion comes up,” Khan said.

“It’s all about the guys un­der­stand­ing that there is noth­ing to be fear­ful about. We need to play fear­less crick­et, which is what we are do­ing at the mo­ment. Just go out there, play free crick­et, you know your plan and it’s just about ex­e­cut­ing it. “

He added, “We have a very well bal­anced team, the bat­ting has been click­ing and the dif­fer­ence for us this year has been the qual­i­ty of our spin bowl­ing. We have brought in Qais Ahmed from Afghanistan and he has re­al­ly bowled well for us. Add to him the ex­pe­ri­enced Im­ran Tahir and Chris Green.

“We don’t have tear­away fast bowlers but in this type of crick­et, we have the bowlers who can vary the pace which is what you need and is ef­fec­tive. Ro­mario Shep­perd has been good in this re­gard and we are look­ing for­ward to a com­plete per­for­mance when we meet TKR. We have a bal­anced team and we are con­fi­dent.”

The War­riors and TKR will play each oth­er at the back end of the com­pe­ti­tion and there is a dis­tinct pos­si­bil­i­ty they can play each oth­er four times in one week. If they fin­ish in the 1-2 po­si­tions at the end of the round-robin phase, then they will meet for a spot in the fi­nals. The win­ner will go di­rect­ly in­to the fi­nal and the los­er will then play the win­ner of the match be­tween teams three and four.
