Guyana will be without Rajendra Chandrika, who scored his maiden ton in the first round and Devendra Bishoo due to the Australia tour and will fancy their chances of beating the Bajans in Guyana for the first time on home soil since they won by nine wickets at Bourda in 1984 when Andy Jackman made 100.
