Two games are slated for Tuesday when action in the 2016 edition of the West Indies Cricket Board’s Regional Super50 gets underway in Barbados. Guyana Jaguars, looking to snap a lengthy title drought, will play the first day/night game of this year’s tournament.
Guyana Jaguars and Barbados Pride will clash in Group B action from 13:30 hours at Kensington Oval in what will be the first day/night game of the season. Incidentally, it was in the final of the KFC Cup against Barbados way back in 2005 that the Guyanese won their last regional 50-over title.
While both teams will no doubt be looking for a winning start, picking a favourite is a tedious task as both sides are packed with players boasting international experience.
One sense that the team that wins the key moments will come out on top. Regardless, fans can look forward to an exciting encounter. Meanwhile, Group B action will start with Jamaica Scorpions taking on the Combined Campuses and Colleges Marooners at Cave Hill at 09:00h.
Scorpions, current leaders of the Regional Four-day competition, will start as favourites, but the Marooners are known to spring a few surprises and they can never be ruled out of contention. The first set of games in Group A will be played on Wednesday.
