While Azam Khan is a fantastic choice at number 4, Guyana substituted Kelvon Anderson, who scored 47 off of 39 against Barbados, in the most recent match.
Despite the fact that Keemo Paul has more experience, the Warriors may have decided to switch him out for Anderston in order to have more hitters on the team. Imran Tahir ought to try to play at full strength and insert both Dwaine Pretorius and Keemo Paul in a game this crucial.
