Caribbean T20 League 

Match 8: GUY vs SKN 

Preview

GUY will take the field against SKN for the second time in this edition. SKN emerged victorious last time these two sides met. Extraordinary bowling performances from Fawad Ahmed and Dominic Drakes combined with unflappable half centuries from openers Evin Lewis and Devon Thomas helped SKN register their second consecutive win in this league.  GUY, who outplayed defending champions TKN in their opening game, had to bow down to the exquisite performance of the SKN in their second fixture. Despite sufficient firepower at their disposal, the SKN unit is struggling to put up a decent total on the board. Ahead of this mouthwatering clash, let us have a look at what one can expect from match 8 of the riveting tournament.

Time: 12:00 AM (Aug 30)

Pitch Report

Batsmen will have a ball playing the big shots on this wicket. It has traditionally assisted the batters and expect more out of the same from tonight. Shorter boundary on one side with the wind will make their jobs much easier. The margin of error is comparatively less for the bowlers and even the mistimed hits can go for maximum at this venue. It is a 160-170 kind of wicket and the team winning the toss should look to bowl first.
