GUYANA Amazon Warriors captain Denesh Ramdin yesterday said that his side would be keen to keep the winning momentum going when they clash with St Lucia Zouks this evening at the Guyana National Stadium in Match 26 of the Hero Caribbean Premier League.The Amazon Warriors moved to seven points following the “no-result” against Jamaica Tallawahs on Wednesday evening.
However, with three games in hand, they can still progress to the playoffs but they will need to win at least two of those remaining matches to be confident of competing in the knockout stages.
If they win all three games there is a theoretical chance they could finish top of the league and qualify automatically for the final, but that too would depend on how results go for the other teams.
“We cannot afford to relax. It is important we keep up the winning momentum. Tomorrow (today) is a very important one, and it’s very important we do the basics right. The result Wednesday night has affected us badly, but the one point is good to get taken into consideration our position,” Ramdin said.
Ramdin added “Despite the weather the vibes in the camp has been good so far. It’s unfortunate we haven’t get to play last night (Wednesday night) so that we could have got that two points, but having said that, Providence been our home ground. We have a good record here so we are looking forward that the weather stays clear so we can earn some points.”
The overhead conditions could be a significant factor in this game as the weather forecast suggests that there is a high probability of rain for most part of today, but the Providence ground has the best drainage system among the international venues in the West Indies and is among the fastest-drying Test grounds in the world.
However, once there is no continuous rain, the game will not be affected. The game bowls off at 20:00hrs, providing there is no rain.
