THE PREDICTION

A new era of cricket begins here in Basseterre with this, the first day of ‘The 6ixty’. This is essentially, a T10 competition with different rules including five overs being bowled at one end, before switching to the other end, not to mention the batting side having just six wickets to play with as opposed to ten. As one would expect in this form of the game, power hitting takes ultimately precedence, especially when teams can unlock a third powerplay over provided they strike two sixes during the original powerplay (the first two overs of the batting innings).

This men’s tournament begins with Guyana Amazon Warriors taking on Saint Lucia Kings. Six-hitting won’t be issue within the Guyana squad when taking into account the players at their disposal. Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd and Colin Ingram to name just three can all hit the ball a long way and should ensure that their side accrues significant score within their 60 balls should they be batting first. Saint Lucia Kings boasts plenty of talented domestic players, but the star-quality within their side is perhaps a little lacking. However, experienced campaigners such as Roston Chase, Johnson Charles and Alzarri Joseph will ensure that they are extremely competitive. Whilst a close game should be on the cards, the Guyana Amazon Warriors look like they be able to adapt to the ultra-short format of the 6ixty slightly quicker when taking into account the number of all-rounders within their squad, so back a narrow Guyana victory in this opening encounter.
