St Lucia T10 Blast, 2020 – 3rd place playoff, Gros Islet Cannon Blasters vs Central Castries Mindoo Heritage: 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The third-place playoff of the St. Lucia T10 Blast will be played between Gros Islet Cannon Blasters and Central Castries Mindoo Heritage at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia.

The match starts at 12:30 PM local time (10:00 PM IST) (4:30 PM GMT). This match can be streamed live on Fan Code.

Preview:

In a shocking set of events, the Gros Islet Cannon Blasters were taken down by the Mon Repos Stars in the semifinals of the tournament, thus restricting the best team in the tournament to a third-position playoff. No one saw this coming and the Repos Stars pulled off an upset exactly when it mattered the most, setting a date with the South Castries Lions in the final. They will be facing the Central Castries for a third position finish and it’d be fair to say their form hasn’t been any great.
