In the last bout they managed to win the game against Guyana yesterday and somehow to spoil a bet that seemed to be in the pocket. Andre Russell was able to make the heyday that Jamaica needed and somehow the champions got away from another difficult time.

Such wins with a lot of anxiety and in the last ball of the game usually exhaust the teams. However, there are times when they act as a psychological addiction and set the self-confidence to heights. Mantis I do not know how Jamaica will react after this victory, but I know that on the second day it gives a second very difficult game and definitely the fatigue will be great, but the pressure will be much smaller, since they managed to consolidate 2 at the top of the board and have the finishing touch.

Barbados has a very good chance to win here a victory that will give it a lead over Guyana for third place. And they have a very good team to be able to take advantage of this opportunity. But I can not stand the champions after they have shown that they find different ways to win their games and can always slip out of the difficult time.

A market that seems to have a small chance is the market for the team that will have the player who will make the most runs in the race. Jamaica is given as a favorite because he has Chris Gayle. However, as we saw yesterday, Gayle is not a god and if his wicket drops before he can find a rhythm, then the bruises become big for the champions. Barbados has players like Dwayne Smith and Shohaib Malik, who can stay for a long time in the game and make great scores. So I think the 1.91 given to Barbados to have the player with the most runs in the game is a good chance.

Once again, the finalists of the last year are confronted in a game that is quite critical for the playoff ranking, where both opponents have already been selected. Right now Jamaica has a headline as it has a 4-1 record while Guyana is at 4-2. 

Things have shaken a bit for Guyana in the absence of Narine from her last two games, an absence that cost a defeat from Trinidad. But in the game against Barbados they showed to overcome the shock of the absence of their best player and take a big victory.

Narine's participation in today's game is still at 50-50. If he finally manages to play then Guyana gains a strong lead over her opponent. But even if Narine does not play, I think that the Guyana team should not be outsider. All the game will be judged on how quickly they will make Chris Gayle out of the game. If they do so before they start rhythm and score a lot of runs, then the way to win will be open to the Warriors. 

I see value in 2.00 given for Guyana's win and I would put a bigger stake if I was sure of Narine's presence in the match.

The time has come for the grand final-revival of last year's finals between champion Guyana who has 3's ultimate 3 wins and Jamaica, which is also undefeated since 2 has won 2 races so far.

The conflict is great on many levels, since beyond a possible final pair there is also a conflict of philosophy and mentality. Guyana with the excellent bowling, who has managed to keep her opponents under the 120 runs against Chris Gayle, the player who scored 110 on his own and has a record with 175 runs in a fight.

Guyana has a small drawback after having played yesterday, but it has not gotten any hard and won with St Lucia, with Santokie and Narine standing out after taking 6 wickets. But they were happy to come out of batting after Simmons showed a good form and managed to make Guptill a perfect openning partnership that made 76 runs.

The current game is expected to be judged at the Guyana Bowling. If they manage to get Gayle out of the game before finding a beat, they will have every right to believe in winning. I expect Guyana to do the bowling first and to limit Jamaica as much as possible to cover the score when batting comes.

A bet that I think is a good chance of a Guyana player making the most runs in the match. If they manage to make Gayle out of the race, then it will not be difficult for Guyana batsmen to overtake Jamaica's runs.

Antigua does not seem to have the potential to cause problems to Tallawahs, since the two teams had opposing pictures.

Antigua failed to create serious problems in Guyana, and although she managed to get 2 fast wickets, no match was found in front of her opponent, while Jamaica made another surprise and managed to stay high winning Zouks comfortably.

The big difference in that game was made by Chris Gayle, who may be in odd-to-poor condition throughout the year, but whenever he's in the Caribbean to play in the local championship, he overcomes all his problems and sets off stunning appearances. 111 runs in the first game, achieving 10 sixs.

In the North Sound field where the match is held, the ground seems to favor the batsmen and allow great scores and good shots. With the situation that Gayle showed in the first game, logic says we can expect a good game from him. Having made 10 sixths will not have trouble finding a way to make 2 sixs in this game. It is enough to find a rhythm and then everything will be easy for him. 

Gayle is a player who wants to take risks and always chases big shots. From a big shot can come his wicket early enough, so I prefer to bet on his sixths and not the number of his runs.
