Match Details:

The 3rd match of the Super50 Cup 2021 will be played between Leeward Islands Hurricanes and Barbados Pride on 10^th February at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.

The match is scheduled to start at 1:30 PM local time (11:00 PM IST) and it will be streamed live on Fancode.

Preview:

Leeward Islands Hurricanes will be up against the Barbados Pride in the 3^rd match of the Super50 Cup on Wednesday. Both the teams will be playing their second match of the competition and would want to perform better than the previous game. Despite a century from Nitish Kumar, Leeward Islands Hurricanes couldn’t hang on and lost their first match by 31 runs. Their tactics of batting second on a slow surface went against them.

On the other hand, Barbados Pride lost their first game to Guyana Jaguars in a rain-affected game by 56 runs. Barbados Pride did a reasonable job with the ball to restrict Guyana Jaguars to 235 runs, but in the run-chase, they lost early wickets. In the end, they were 91/5 from 29.3 overs when match officials took a call to not further continue the match due to wet outfield. Bowling is not an issue for them, and if they could manage to put early runs on the board with the bat, they can be very dangerous opposition to beat in this tournament.

LIH vs BAR Weather Report for Match 3:

It will be pretty hot and humid at the start of the match in Antigua, but the weather will be pleasant in the evening. There is no chance of precipitation for this match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

It is a neutral wicket with a slightly better advantage for the team batting first, as there are more chances of the surface getting slower in the second half of the game. Spinners will come in handy in the middle overs of the match. Whoever wins the toss should bat first on this wicket.
