---

The season opener of the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL 2024) will see Barbados Royals women (BR-W) take on Guyana Amazon Warriors women (GUY-W). Facing off in game 1, both sides will take centre stage at the Brian Lara Stadium, in Tarouba, Trinidad.

In a rematch of last year’s final, Amazon Warriors women will be seeking redemption, while defending champion Royals women will hope to begin their defence with a win against last year’s finalists.

The surface at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad is quite balanced. Offering something for both the batters and the bowlers, the pitch can be quite dangerous for the batter in the early stages, with things getting tough for the bowlers by the end. Opting to bowl first and chasing the target could be a wise decision.
