Piton Stickers have been in good form in their first match of the season. Piton Stickers are in the second spot in the points table. With two points in their bag they are looking for a win in this match as well. Piton Stickers asked Whiptail Smashers to bat first in the last match. Whiptail Smashers scored Whiptail Smashers 105/7. Kimani Melius scored 50 off 21 balls. Yunieski Gustave took two wickets for Piton Stickers in that match. Piton Stickers chased down the same target of 106 runs in just 6.5 overs. Jason Simon and Julian Sylvester scored 55 off 18 balls and 36 off 18 balls respectively.
Calabash Giants are in the fourth spot in the points table. They started the season with a loss in the first match. Calabash Giants lost the first match to Bamboo Blasters by 14 runs. Bamboo Blasters scored 124 runs batting first. Stephen Naitram scored quick-fire 82 runs. Sadrack Descartes took two wickets while Wayne Prospere bowled beautifully, delivering a maiden and taking up a wicket in his two overs. However, Calabash Giants couldn’t chase the target down even after a fabulous start of Shadrack Descartes because of Khan Elcock’s five-fer which restricted Calabash Giants shy of 14 runs.
Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is a great stadium which has hosted a lot of matches for West Indies and domestic teams. Located in St Lucia, this venue has been a part of over 100 international matches. The pitch of Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet is a balanced pitch with help for both the batter and bowlers.
The batters should know which ball to fit in this match. There can be a help for the bowlers in the first few overs in the match. If the openers can stick in this match, they can score good runs in both the innings. During the previous four T10 matches, the scoring has exceeded the average, with the team batting first and the team batting second each winning two matches.
It is important to recognize that the team pursuing the target performed exceptionally well in the first two games, allowing them to secure a comfortable victory. Thus, winning the toss and opting to chase is the optimal choice, but you must perform well while batting in the chase to have a chance of winning the game. The other two were secured by the team that batted first, indicating that solid batting in any innings is necessary for an easy match victory.
Piton Stickers and Calabash Giants have not played a single match against each other in the St. Lucia T10 Blast. This will be the first clash between these two teams. Both the teams are playing their first season. Piton Stickers are in a good spirit having won one match while Calabash Giants, unfortunately, lost their first match and are desperate for a win in this match.
