Kaieteur Sports – Following a string of interruptions from the weather, the Guyana Harpy Eagles will be praying for change of fortune from Mother Nature come tonight, when they face hosts, Trinidad & Tobago Red Force in a duel under lights at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy Ground; from 14:00hs tentatively.

To date this could be the biggest challenge for the Harpy Eagles, with the Red Force playing into their knowledge of the conditions as well as their performance on Friday night when they dismantled the Jamaica Scorpions by a 75-run deficit.

Much like their encounter with the Windward Volcanoes which was washed out recently, Guyana will have to fire on all cylinders, in both departments as they look to topple an experienced, dangerous Red Force squad.

The hosts racked up 256-8 before sucking the air out of the Scorpions, as they kept them to 181 all out. With today’s match being another encounter under lights, the Red Force should fancy their chances given their recent win under similar conditions.

Guyana has yet to show its bowling blueprint this season due to rain mostly, but with left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie, Richie Looknauth and Junior Sinlcair forming a new-look, three-headed spin weapon; the Eagles could look to their slower bowlers for that extra buff.

All-rounders Ronaldo Alimohamed, Keemo Paul and Thaddus Lovell will have much work to do in the fast-bowling/seam department; given Friday’s show of confidence from opener Red Force Cephas Cooper who hit 72 and veteran middle-order batsman Jason Mohammed who scored 84.

But with a stacked lineup including talents like Jyd Goolie, Windies wicket-keeper and ed Force skipper Joshua Da Silva, Kjorn Ottley, Terrance Hinds and Yannic Cariah all capable of turning in quick runs; the Eagles’ bowling attack will have to be on point this evening.

Leggy Cariah who bagged 4 wickets alongside Goolie’s part-time off-break which returned 3 scalps, led the Red Force bowling during their win on Friday; with the experienced medium-pacer Hinds claiming a wicket to further help push a case for an advantage between the two bowling sides heading into tonight’s game.

Kevlon Anderson, Matthew Nandu the skipper and Raymond Perez each scored fifties in the opening game before its stoppage and could be looked upon to fetch majority of the batting responsibilities.

The likes of Kemol Savory, Mavindra Dindyal and all-rounders Paul and Alimohamed will need to bat more responsibly come tonight.

In the other two games set for today’s 3rd Round, Barbados Price will tackle the Volcanoes at the Queen’s Park Oval, with the Scorpions and the Hurricanes doing battling at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground; with both matches expected to bowl off from 9:00hs respectively; weather permitting.
