Watch out for...

The pocket-sized Jonathan Foo, little known before the Caribbean T20, emerged as a player to watch after quickfire cameos sealed victory for Guyana several times in that tournament. The best of those cameos was a 17-ball 42 against Barbados in the final.

Key contests

Dale Steyn v Guyana openers: Travis Dowlin and Sewnarine Chattergoon are two of Guyana's more experienced batsmen, and the onus will be on them to blunt the threat of Steyn in his home conditions.

Bishoo v Bangalore middle order: Devendra Bishoo scooped 11 wickets and the Man-of-the-Series award in the Caribbean T20 with his legspinners. If he can replicate that form against a line-up that includes renowned six-hitters such as Taylor, Cameron White and Robin Uthappa, Guyana's prospects will brighten considerably.

Stats and trivia

* In four Twenty20 matches so far in his career, Foo has a strike-rate of 210.20 and has been dismissed only once.
* Cameron White is two big hits short of becoming the seventh man to reach the landmark of 100 career sixes. The leader is his team-mate, Taylor, with 147 sixes

Quotes
