Champions League Twenty20 2010
Match facts
Guyana v Bangalore
Sunday, September 12
Start time 1730 (1530 GMT)
Bangalore will have fond memories of South Africa, having finished runners-up in the IPL last year. It was midway through that tournament that they installed Anil Kumble at the helm, after fumbling under Rahul Dravid in the first season and then Kevin Pietersen for the initial part of the 2009 season. With South African Ray Jennings as coach, and senior player Jacques Kallis also hailing from the country, Kumble can tap into a wealth of local knowledge.
On the other hand, not only do Guyana have few players with substantial international experience, most of the squad haven't played in South African conditions as well. However, they can take inspiration from their Caribbean rivals, Trinidad & Tobago, who also hadn't played much in the subcontinent, but won hearts with their fearless cricket as they stormed to the finals of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20.
