Match Details:

The 13th match of the 2020 St Lucia T10 Blast will be played between Choiseul Clay Pots and Mon Repos Stars at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, St Lucia.

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

Preview:

The Mon Repos Stars did lose their last game, but quite clearly they’re one of the teams to watch out for in this season. They have great batting depth to go with an amazing bowling unit, which didn’t help their cause against the South Castries Lions, but they will be keen on getting back on winning ways.

They will be up against a side who are yet to face a defeat in the tournament. The Choiseul Clay Pots have been brilliant with the ball and defended two totals in their opening two games quite brilliantly. Their batting strength will be put to a test in this fixture and we are in for one tight contest.

Weather Report

Some showers are again predicted to interrupt the game but considering a fact that the weather gods have interrupted until now, we can hope for them to stay away again.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch is a nightmare for bowlers, as flat as a highway road. Bounce on the track is pretty decent as well, which should make up for a really interesting contest.
