Team Previews
Botanical Garden Rangers Preview
It has been a disappointing campaign so far for Botanical Garden Rangers, who sit at the bottom of the table with three consecutive losses. They’ve struggled with both bat and ball, failing to post or chase competitive totals effectively.
Keron Cottoy has been the standout performer with the bat, scoring 102 runs in the tournament. His ability to rotate strike and unleash boundaries makes him central to BGR’s batting plans. Andre Fletcher, known for his explosive T20 style, hasn’t yet delivered the big innings fans expect. Desron Maloney and the middle order have been fragile, collapsing under pressure more than once.
Bowling-wise, Shaquan Glasgow has been the pick, taking 4 wickets in tough conditions. However, support from the other end has been lacking, as shown in their recent loss to Grenadines Divers where they failed to defend 93. Their death bowling lacks discipline and variety, often conceding vital runs.
If Botanical Garden Rangers want to keep their playoff hopes alive, this is a must-win game. They need more collective intent and tighter execution.
Dark View Explorers Preview
Dark View Explorers are currently placed 3rd on the points table with 3 wins out of 4, playing a positive and fearless brand of cricket. Despite a recent loss to table-toppers La Soufriere Hikers, they remain a well-rounded outfit.
Obus Pienaar, their leading run-scorer with 109 runs, has anchored the innings effectively. Alongside him, Ethan Gibson has been in destructive form, recently smashing 40 runs off 16 balls against LSH. Kemar Smith has also shown glimpses of his power-hitting, adding depth to the batting lineup.
Bowling has been led by Benniton Stapleton, who has scalped 6 wickets, often breaking crucial partnerships. The experienced Kesrick Williams offers skill and tactical nous, especially in the powerplay overs.
DVE’s only concern is consistency under pressure. Their bowlers were unable to contain the LSH chase, and the fielding wasn’t up to the mark. Still, they remain a tough challenge for any team.
