Mon Repos Stars |Following a successful run-chase of 98 runs against Babonneau Leatherbacks, MRS finished with 80-5 batting first against Micoud Eagles. The quick dismissal of Sadrack Descartes at number 5 for just 1 run off 2 balls made a big impact on the Mon Repos innings. He has been among the run-scorers in the past matches adding the finishing touches in the lower-order. While Craig Emmanuel did continue to score runs for the team, he wasn’t striking at an impressive rate. Emmanuel scored only 37 off 34 balls which included 2 sixes and 4 fours. Opening batsmen play a big role in this format. And for Mon Repos Stars, it is Christian Charlery and Rohan Lesmond who have done that very well. Though they failed to give MRS a good start, they have the ability to bounce back. And with the likes of Craig Emmanuel, Sadrack Descartes in the middle-order, Mon Repos Stars are well equipped to chase down totals. However, the most crucial aspect of MRS innings is the opening stand. If they lose early wickets, they may not get to a big enough total. South Castries Lions |They were the favourites to defeat the Choiseul Coal Pots in their last match. While chasing a target of 115 runs, SCL lost 4 wickets for just 19 runs in the 3rd Over. This included 2 of their top 4 batsmen being dismissed for a duck. Whereas, Johnson Charles was out for 12 off 5, in an attempt to get going with his big-hitting. He is the man to take his team to a victory in such run chases. And he will be the key player going up against Mon Repos Stars. Collinus Calendar is another batsman who was out cheaply in the last game and is a major figure at number 3 for South Castries. Lower down the order, there’ Xavier Gabriel with the ability to hit the long ball. The slight advantage SCL have over the opposition, in addition to Johnson Charles as their opening batsman, is their middle-order strength. They can win games without J Charles getting them past the line. However, his contribution can make a world of difference to where the game will swing. SCL have struggled with the ball and haven’t really picked many wickets recently. Hence, there is more pressure on the batsmen to either chase 100+ runs total or put a bigger enough total on the board while batting first.
South Castries Lions to win this match Even after a big loss in their last game, South Castries Lions continue to be favourite on the top betting sites. They’ve got a strong batting lineup with a big-hitting opener and some quality match-finishers in the middle-order. However, one cannot count out Mon Repos Stars, especially in this format of the game. Not only have they got promising batsmen in the top 4, but their opposition is also under pressure of performing with the bat. And that’s where MRS can gain an edge if they manage to put 110+ runs total batting first.
