Guyana hopes for consolation win

West Indies representatives Guyana will hope for a consolation win to cap off a wretched Champions League 20/20 debut campaign in South Africa when they face the unbeaten South Australia Redbacks in Johannesburg today.



The Caribbean side’s debut in the lucrative tournament has been marred by misery as they have suffered heavy losses in their three games so far and face the prospects of finishing without a single win to their name.



They will clash with South Australia at the New Wanderers Stadium, with the Australians at the top of Group A after winning all three of their matches.



Guyana have appeared out of their depth at this level and will be hard-pressed to beat South Australia who have been clinical in their execution.



Captain Ramnaresh Sarwan says Guyana will need an improved effort from the batsmen, especially at the top of the order in the early overs.



Sarwan, whose three innings have yielded 74 runs, hinted he may have to move up the order in order to ensure a solid start to the innings.



Also today, two Indian Premier League teams Mumbai Lions and Bangalore Royal Challengers will face off.
