Preview:

Barring an odd bad day at the outing against the Gros Islet Cannon Blasters, the Central Castries have been brilliant in the tournament and are looking like one of the favourites to go all the way. The side is well marshalled with a good mix of youth and exuberance, they also have a strong bowling line up which makes it more difficult for the opposition.

They will be up against the Vieux Fort North Raiders today, which is a great game for the Central Castries to resume their campaign after a long break. The North Raiders haven’t been playing the best of cricket and this game could be a great opportunity for the Castries to re-establish themselves in the top three.

Weather Report

Not the most ideal weather conditions, but still good enough for a game of cricket. The temperatures are expected to be warm and pleasant, with cloudy weather.

Pitch Condition/Report:

This flat batting deck is a batsman’s paradise and it seems like there will be no assistance for the bowlers once again. However, there are some decent bowlers up for a fight in this contest and it’ll be interesting to see how they work out.

Stephen Naitram is one of the top choices for captaincy in this fixture. The keeper-batsman registered scores of 18, 17 and 53 in his last three knocks.

He could turn out to be a great pick as captain in the grand league.

Jamaal James bowled fantastically in the last game, where he registered figures of 3/13 in two overs. He is an economical bowler and also is capable of some big hitting.

Among bowling options, Ricky Hippolyte picked up 3 wickets for 14 runs in the last game. Shem Paul is another all-round contributor to your fantasy team and his combination with Dillan John is a must in your fantasy side.
