Barbados Pride was the last team to beat Guyana Jaguars in Guyana when they won by two runs at Providence in 2014 but the next time they came here they were soundly beaten earlier this year
Today at Providence, the teams clash from 15:00hrs in the first ever day/night First-Class contest with a pink ball in Guyana in the 69th First-Class contest between the two sides. Guyana has won 12 and lost 26 of those matches with 30 being drawn.
The two-time defending champions have not been as convincing as in the past two seasons but this is early days in the tournament and with seven games still to play Jaguars are presently the leaders.
This will be a very important game since Barbados are second just .2 of a point behind the Jaguars who are on 33.6 points, whichever team wins here will be at the top of the points table.
Admission is free and NCN Radio will carry the match live. Among the commentators will be veteran Reds Perriera who be doing his last First-Class game.
Guyana Jaguars: Rajendra Chandrika, Shemron Hetymer, Leon Johnson (Capt.), Vishaul Singh, Shiv Chanderpaul, Raymon Reifer, Anthony Bramble, Chris Barnwell, Veerasammy Permaul, Keon Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Eon Hooper, Taignarine Chanderpaul.
Barbados Pride: Kraigg Brathwaite (Capt), Anthony Alleyne, Shamar Brooks, Jonathan Carter, Roston Chase, Shai Hope, Omar Phillips, Shane Dowrich, Justin Greaves, Kemar Roach, Kevin Stoute, Jomal Warrican, Ashley Nurse.
