Preview:
The Sulphur City Stars have been doing a poor job in the
tournament, losing both their opening fantasy
games by a huge margin. Their confidence has taken a back seat and are
desperate to find the right combination. They got a good five days without
cricket to think through their situations and now, they lock horns with an
in-form unit in the Mon Repos Stars. The Repos Stars barely had one little
hiccup in the tournament which resulted in a defeat, but overall, they have
been a fantastic unit. This game could earn them their third win if things pan
out as per expectations.
Weather Condition/Report:
Weather in Gros Islet continues to be a bit cloudy, but
there should be no interruptions for the game. Temperatures could range between
28-34 during game time.
Pitch Condition/Report:
The Daren Sammy Stadium seems to be a pretty high-scoring
venue for the T10 format as the average first-innings score in the last five
games is in excess of 100.
Average first innings score: 103 (Last five
games)
Record of chasing teams: Won – 5, Lost – 9, Tied
– 0

Top Picks
Openers Shervin Charles and Sabinus Emmanuel are the top
picks for this game and they’re the only players among both sides to have
registered half-centuries. Jazel Charlery and Keon Gaston have been
contributing well with the ball, which adds more value to their pinch-hitting
abilities.
Some other top picks from the Repos Stars are Garey Mathurin
and Mervin Wells, who have been in decent nick too. Bradely Tisson smashed a
10-ball 22 in the last game and could be one of the better picks from the
opposing unit. All-rounders Dalius Monrose and Denver Didier offer great
stability to your lineup.
