La Soufriere Hikers vs Botanic Gardens Rangers, Vincy Premier T10 League 2020?
La Soufriere Hikers and Botanic Gardens Rangers face off for a place in the Vincy Premier League final. The match takes place at St Vincent’s Arnos Vale Sporting Complex on May 30, from 22:00 IST.
La Soufriere Hikers’ rain-reduced win against Fort Charlotte Strikers in their final game ensured they finished the group stage with seven wins from eight matches, including two against Botanic Gardens Rangers. They only narrowly missed out on top spot as a result.
The Rangers, on the other hand, lost whenever they faced the top two teams, but victories in every other match ensured they comfortably finished third. Their last match went to the wire, but Kenneth Dember’s 45* from 27 balls ultimately earned a last-ball, four-wicket win chasing 88.

Toss Prediction
Both teams were asked to field first last time out and won. Given the two matches between these teams previously, the Hikers might want to chase again.
Weather Report
A rare spot of rain for the Hikers last match should not be repeated looking at the forecast, which is for a typically hot day.
Pitch Condition
The pitch is difficult to work out. Certainly a score below 80 would be below par, but the bowlers have managed to turn the screw well at times.

LSH Team News
Camano Cain’s flurry at the top of the batting order last time out may earn him a start in this semi-final. Dean Browne was the man to miss out.
LSH Key Players
Desron Maloney: Started the tournament with 41* against the Rangers and finished the group stage in good batting form too – hitting 120 runs in total and only being dismissed three times.
Othneil Lewis: Finished the group stage with eight wickets and has been economical with his off-spin bowling too.
Dillon Douglas: The 21-year-old has proved his batting talent with 140 runs in the group stage thanks to some lusty bloews. He also picked up his first wicket last time out.
LSH Team Form
La Soufriere Hikers won seven of their eight group stage matches, including their last five in a row. That includes chasing 80 in an eight-wicket win when these teams last met, as well as hitting 42/1 from 3.4 overs in their rain-reduced match against Fort Charlotte Strikers last time out – enough for a comfortable nine-wicket win.

Romel Currency missed out last time but the veteran’s batting form should mean he returns – if fit – for the semi-final.
