TNT vs WNI Dream11, Probable Playing 11 And Match Report : Conventionally wayward Windward Islands look to begin their new season with a strong start
Advertisement
The foregone edition of the Super50 Cup showed why Windward Islands have always been refrained from making a real bid for the prestigious domestic ODI tournamnet. The side ended up with just the one win in eight matches with five of them ending in defeats and the two being abandoned due to floundering rainfall.
As they get ready to embark on a new season and look to overhaul their underachieving form, the side couldn’t have asked for a worse opponent in their tournamnet opener. Up against Trinidad and Tobago, the side are going at loggerheads against a side who they have managed to defeat just once in six matches, a figure which doesn’t bode well for them ahead of the impending encounter.
Also, what adds to the side’s peril in this Group B match is the fact that Trinidad and Tobago are an extremely stellar side, one which managed to make it all the way into last edition’s semi-finals before being eventually defeated by the eventual champions. The seven wicket defeat to Combined Campuses and Colleges saw them fall at their final hurdle to make it to the summit clash in what was an otherwise pristine run by the side, one they’ll be looking to emanate this season as well.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
One of the wickets in West Indies which has stayed true to the conventional surfaces laid down in the country, this is a track which offers ample assistance for the pacers in the early part of the encounter. The wicket does settle down though, ensuring there is something on this track for everyone with the side winning the toss set to come out and field today.

TNT vs WNI Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Trinidad and Tobago’s Steven Katwaroo is being brought into our side for this encounter owing to two reasons. While he’s someone who can always cream the ball to the fence in the death overs, the player will be heavily involved behind the wickets and bring in a hoard of catches and stumpings for us.
TNT vs WNI Dream11 Batsmen
With 1,059 runs in 45 matches in the 50 over format for West Indies, Devon Smith comes into our side as a safe pair of hands. The batsman is someone who is well versed with what it takes to succeed at the highest level and will be relied on to act as the fulcrum of his side’s batting order today.
He finds company in the form of captain and opener Kirk Edwards while from Trinidad and Tobago we are opting for Kyle Hope who has garnered the 2,330 runs in 86 encounters in domestic cricket.
TNT vs WNI Dream11 All-Rounders
Compensating for the batting picks from Trinidad and Tobago in this facet of our side, we are getting in Jason Mohammed as our first name with the player playing a crucial role in both the segments of his side’s gameplan. He’s managed to amass 551 runs in 24 ODI appearances for his country along with thriving with the ball as well in the previous edition to make him the first selection along with Yannick Ottley.
From Windward Islands meanwhile we are choosing Kavem Hodge with the player having scored 600 runs in 30 domestic encounters with Yannick Ottley giving him company for this match.
TNT vs WNI Dream11 Bowling Order
With Windward Islands languishing in the bygone edition of the tournamnet owing to their disgruntled displays with the bat which saw them embroiled in a tussle, a dominant Trinidad and Tobago bowling unit should lambast them in this encounter. It sees us get in the partnership of Jon-Russ Jaggesar and Odean Smith with new signing Jaggesar having taken the ten 10 wickets in the last season.
From the opposition, the 106 wickets in 69 matches will see Shane Shillingford nail down his place in our Dream 11 side.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Mohammed comes into our side as our captain whilst Smith is being made the vice-captain.
