Match Preview: 17th Match – Botanical Gardens Rangers vs Salt Pond Breakers

Botanical Garden Rangers has booked their spot in the playoffs, so they can breathe slightly easier than the other teams. Salt Pond Breakers are not quite there yet but they are looking as strong title contenders yet again.

In The Spotlight

Botanical Garden Rangers have everything going for them. The batting is clicking and when it doesn’t the bowling is winning them matches. Their batting line up is exciting and it would be interesting to see how they fair against a well rounded Breakers bowling attack.

Salt Pond Breakers broke themselves out of jail yesterday, struggling at 62 in 8 overs but still managed to post 113 thanks to late order power hitting of Delorn Johnson and Seon Sween who smashed 51 runs in the last two overs. That’s the sign of a champion team, finding ways to win games when starring down defeat in the eyes. It’s the first time that their batting line up was severely tested and they would be pleased to know that they passed the test.

This is the first time both teams are meeting in this tournament, and it is set to be a cracker of a match.
