After some weeks off following three intense rounds, action resumes today as the defending champions look to push forward with their title defence.

Opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who missed the previous round due to injury, returns to the Eagles team as he will look to add to the team’s overall batting form.

Since returning from Test duties, Captain Tevin Imlach has been Guyana’s best and leading batsman heading into today’s game.

The form of Kemol Savory, Kevlon Anderson, Ronaldo Alimohamed and a late run from Matthew Nandu, solidified what will be the core of the Eagles batting going forward.

All-rounder Kevin Sinclair has yet to show out but could easily use this round to get himself going in both departments, especially with most of his premier teammates scoring significant runs or producing match-winning spells.

After three rounds, the champs have figured out their bowling options, thanks to a number of performers including leading wicket-taker Veerasammy Permaul.

The left-arm spinner alongside his younger partner in left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie, with help from Sinclair; should look to control the next few rounds.

A Lot will rest on the shoulders and bat, of Jamaica Scorpions captain John Campbell over the next few days.

With Alimohamed having a tremendous season in both departments, his medium-pace will play a huge role in backing up speedster Nial Smith and possibly Thaddeus Lovell, who could play a role given his all-round talents.

The Scorpions lost their last two games, making this encounter a dangerous one for the champs, with a much-needed positive outcome desperately needed by the home team.

Javelle Glenn is fresh off a second innings fifty and will be called upon to stabilize the middle-order. Skipper John Campbell will need to provide a good start at the top of the order, with players like Kirk McKenzie, Jason Blackwood and a hard-hitting Odean Smith, being key men with the bat for Jamaica.

The ball-handlers for Jamaica have been decent this season, with off-spinner Brad Barnes bagging six wickets in round 3 against a formidable Barbados batting line-up.

Barnes, along with spinner Jeavor Royal, veteran fast-bowler Marquino Mindley and medium-pacer Smith, will have their work cut out against an in-form Harpy Eagles.

Meanwhile, Day 1’s play is scheduled to commence from 11:00h today. (C. Ross)
