Preview:

Guyana will take on Barbados in the 2^nd match of the Super50 Cup on Monday. Both the teams are playing their first game of the competition and will want to start their journey with a win. Guyana narrowly missed out on the chance of getting into the knockouts last year, as they finished 3^rd in the Group B standings. Inclusion of star player Shimron Hetymer will bring a lot of confidence to their team.

On the other hand, Barbados looks a strong side on the paper with more International players in their squad. They are one of the major contenders to win this tournament. They got knocked out in the semi-finals of the Super50 Cup last year, where they lost to West Indies Emerging Team in a rain-affected game. Jason Holder, Roston Chase and Shamarh Brooks all are available for selection. Considering both the teams’ performances from last year, Barbados will start as favourites for this match.
