Botanic Gardens Rangers vs Grenadines Divers, Vincy Premier T10 League 2020
The Vincy T10 Premier League 2020 3rd/4th-place play-off will be contested by Botanic Gardens Rangers and Grenadines Divers after both lost convincingly in their semi-final ties. The match will be played at Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, St Vincent, on May 31 and the live action starts at 18:00 IST.
The Rangers beat the Divers twice in the group stage and finished third, but conceded 150/2 on their way to a 33-run defeat to La Soufriere Hikers in the semi-finals. Hyron Shallow, Kenneth Dember and marquee player Kesrick Williams have all showed decent form, however, and they will expect another win against the Divers in this game.
Grenadines Divers, meanwhile, only won twice in the group stage. Both of those wins came against Fort Charlotte Strikers, who finished last, and it was no surprise they lost their semi-final to Salt Pond Breakers. They did have the Breakers 3/4 in the first over, but could not take advantage.

Botanic Gardens Rangers Team News & Playing 11
BGR Team News
As anticipated, Kesrick Williams has climbed the batting order after some good recent form. Joey Welcome was selected ahead of Casnel Morris last time out, but Morris’ bowling may means he returns this time.
BGR Key Players
Kesrick Williams: Added runs with the bat in recent matches to accompany his already-revered bowling. He will be keener than all to bounce back from the semi-final.
Hyron Shallow: It was totally overshadowed in the end but 26 from ten balls was a good return last time out and pretty much on par with his good batting so far.
Kenneth Dember: In two group games against the Divers, he returned combined bowling figures of 4-7, as well as hitting 45* in their last meeting.
BGR Team Form
Two crushing defeats to La Soufriere Hikers have halted the Rangers’ momentum, but they did beat Grenadines Divers in between. Kenneth Dember (2-3; 45*) was their star man in the last-ball win against the Divers, but they were totally outplayed by the Hikers last time out. After conceding 150/2, their score of 117/7 – though among the higher scores in this tournament – was well short in reply.
