The Trinidad T10 Blast commences today and in Game 2 of the tournament, we have the Cocrico Calaviers taking on the Steelpan Strikers.
Both teams will be eager to get their season off to a winning start and they have the players who are not just heavy hitters of the ball, but rampant wicket-takers as well. Cocrico Cavaliers should keep an eye on Denesh Ramdin.
Evin Lewis and Mark Deyal, on the other hand, are true power hitters for the Steelpan Strikers. Akeal Hosein, who will likely bat higher in the order, will provide more balance to the team.
The match is scheduled to take place on the 26th of February, 2022 at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad.
