St Lucia T10 Blast, 2020 – 3rd place playoff, Gros Islet Cannon Blasters vs Central Castries Mindoo Heritage: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The third-place playoff of the St. Lucia T10 Blast will be played between Gros Islet Cannon Blasters and Central Castries Mindoo Heritage at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia.

The match starts at 12:30 PM local time (10:00 PM IST) (4:30 PM GMT). This match can be streamed live on Fan Code.

Preview:

The Gros Islet Cannon Blasters went without a defeat in seven games, but just when it mattered the most, the Mon Repos Stars defeated them in the semifinal. This restricts the best team in the tournament to a place in the 3rd-position playoff, where they will be locking horns with the Central Castries. This will come in as a tough game for the Central Castries, whose form has dipped drastically since entering the Super Four stages. The Cannon Blasters, who would’ve wanted to lay hands on the trophy, can now expect only a 3rd place finish and they definitely would not want to miss out on it.

Weather Report

The weather conditions are expected to be cloudy most of the time with no chance of rain. This could turn out to be one exciting game for the fans with temperatures in Gros Islet ranging from 26-31 degrees.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Teams batting first have been doing well in the tournament and considering a fact that the pitch is slowing down in recent times, this should be one good game between bat and ball.
