GHE practice match on at Meter-Meer-Zorg Ground today
Rain having ruined the first practice trial game for the Guyana Harpy Eagles last week, the defending Regional 4-Day Champs will have another opportunity to prepare, starting today, Tuesday, ahead of next month’s start to the 2024 Regional season.
With action shifting to the Meter-Meer-Zorg Ground, both sides will be looking to hit the ground running, with the core players especially wanting that time in the middle before the actual title defense bowls off.
Matthew Nandu will lead Team B
Torrential rainfall last week postponed the action and any efforts to ensure that some cricket could be played at the Bourda Ground. Due to the recent patch of sunshine, coupled with their new match venue, which hosted an intense T20 double-header this past weekend, the Eagles will be banking on making the most of this final opportunity before the tournament bowls off in the first week of February.
Meanwhile, the Harpy Eagles enter this season’s battles as arguably the most successful franchise to play in the last decade, having won the Regional 4-Day title on six occasions, with 2023 being the most recent. Action bowls off at 9:300h.
