Botanic Gardens Rangers Team News & Playing 11
BGR Team News
A crushing defeat last time out will have raised questions, but the Rangers lost to an in-form side and do not need to make knee-jerk reactions. Ray Charles may return after not playing last time.
BGR Key Players
Kesrick Williams: Too inconsistent so far, but the West Indian international is one of the tournament’s stand-out players and took 2-20 in the Rangers’ last win.
Hyron Shallow: Made a bright start last time out, having previously hit 36* and 38 from his two previous innings.
Kevin Abraham: The all-rounder took 1-14 with the ball last time out and has generally been batting in the top four too.
BGR Team Form
Defeat to Salt Pond Breakers last time out, in which they limped to just 55/7 from their ten overs, was the Rangers’ second so far. They had previously won two in a row with Hyron Shallow in good batting form, to bounce back from their defeat to La Soufriere Hikers first up.

Kirton Lavia: Took his fourth wicket of the tournament last time out, though he is still conceding too many wides. He then hit 23 with the bat.
