The Brian Lara Stadium is a multi-purpose venue located in Tarouba, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago.

Located in southern Trinidad, just outside the heart of the city of San Fernando, beside the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway, the Brian Lara Stadium is named after West Indies cricket legend Brian Lara.

Between 1990 and 2007, Brian Lara scored over 22,000 runs for the West Indies cricket team. He led the West Indies to the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy as a captain, their first major ICC trophy since winning the 1979 Cricket World Cup in England.

The Tarouba cricket stadium was initially planned to host warm-up matches during the ICC World Cup 2007 and later serve as a cricket academy after the marquee tournament. However, the stadium would not be completed in time for the ODI World Cup.

The Brian Lara Stadium was later completed and inaugurated in 2017. It has a seating capacity of 15,000 spectators.

Part of a US$850 million elite sports complex at Tarouba, the stadium staged its first international cricket match, a T20 played between West Indies and India. Led by Rohit Sharma, India won the game by 68 runs.

Later in 2023, it hosted its first one-day international (ODI) that featured West Indies and India. The visitors secured a 200-run victory in the only ODI played at the venue so far.

The Brian Lara Stadium was selected as one of the venues for the T20 World Cup 2024. It will stage five T20 World Cup 2024 matches including a semi-final clash.

Apart from international cricket, it has also staged multiple Caribbean Premier League (CPL) matches including finals from 2017 to 2020.

Let’s have a closer look at the Brian Lara Stadium T20 records and stats.

Netherlands (NED) will square off against Uganda (UGA) in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe on Thursday, July 14. The match will start at 1:00 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).

NED vs UGA Dream11 prediction

Led by Scott Edwards, Netherlands have made an impressive start to their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B campaign. After thrashing Papua New Guinea by 52 runs in their opening fixture, the Dutch side followed it up by securing a seven-wicket win over Hong Kong. With four points from two matches, Netherlands are currently leading the  ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B standings.

On the other hand, Uganda suffered an eight-wicket defeat against Papua New Guinea on Tuesday after beating Hong Kong by two wickets in their first match. Uganda are currently placed second in the standings with two points from two games.

While this will be the first meeting between Netherlands and Uganda in international cricket, the Dutch will start as favourites going by their recent form and experience.

NED vs UGA Dream11 team tips for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B

Top Tip: Best batter

Netherlands�?Max O’Dowd has been one of the standout batters in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B cricket tournament so far. The 28-year-old opening batter has scored 77 runs in two matches at a strike rate of 142.59 and an average of 38.50. Max O’Dowd has accrued 112 fantasy points and will be a worthy pick at 9.5 credits.

Top Tip: Best bowler

Among the bowlers, Netherlands�?Fred Klaassen will be the bowler to watch out for. The left-arm fast bowler has bagged four wickets in two matches at an economy of just 4.75. Klaassen has accumulated 155 fantasy points and will be a smart fantasy pick at just 8.5 credits.

Top Tip: Best all-rounder and wicket-keeper

As far as all-rounders are concerned, Netherlands�?/span> Logan Van Beek deserves a shoutout. The 31-year-old has been the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far, picking seven wickets in two matches at an impressive economy of 5.73. He has scored 19 runs coming lower down the batting order. Having amassed a staggering 272 fantasy points already, Van Beek is a must-have pick at 9.5 credits.

For the wicket-keeper spot, Netherlands�?Scott Edwards will be the preferred choice over Fred Achelam of Uganda. Selected by 94.52 per cent fantasy users, Edwards has accrued 39 points and will be a valuable addition to any team despite a steep price of 9.5 credits.

NED vs UGA playing XI (probable)

Netherlands playing XI (probable): Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Scott Edwards (captain/wicket-keeper), Teja Nidamanuru, Logan Van Beek, Tim Pringle, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren, Shariz Ahmad

Hong Kong (HK) and Uganda (UGA) clash in match 20 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League B 2022 on Monday, June 20. The match will start at 12:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).

HK vs UGA Dream11 prediction

Uganda have won five of their last six matches and will start as favourites in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League B match on account of their form. Hong Kong, on the other hand, have three wins in their last five outings.

UGA won the last head-to-head meeting with HK by six wickets, with 82 balls in hand.

HK vs UGA Dream11 team tips for ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League B 2022

Top tip: Best batter

Hong Kong batter Kinchit Shah enters Monday’s contest as the top-scoring batter in ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League B 2022, with 346 runs in six games and an average of 86.50. The 26-year-old has 135 fantasy points under his belt and will look to help HK to a commanding victory against UGA.

Top tip: Best bowler

Uganda will look up to Frank Nsubuga to perform with the ball against Hong Kong on Monday. The 41-year-old spinner has bagged seven wickets so far, and is currently UGA’s most prolific bowler in the competition. Although he has earned just 20 fantasy points so far, his skill with the ball makes him a potential difference maker for the HK vs UGA fixture.  

Top tip: Best all-rounder and wicket-keeper

Aizaz Khan has been one of Hong Kong’s exceptional players in the CWC Challenge League B, accruing 161 runs from six matches. The 29-year-old, who has picked up eight wickets with the ball, has already raked up 195 fantasy points so far and will be aiming to bag more with a match-winning all-round performance on Monday.

Finally, for a wicket-keeper, Fred Achelam should be picked ahead of anyone else. The 21-year-old Uganda gloveman has accounted for more dismissals (seven - all caught) than his counterpart Jamie Atkinson (three - two caught, one stumping), thus making him a better recommendation in this position.

HK vs UGA probable playing XI

HK playing XI (probable): Zeeshan Ali, Jamie Atkinson (wicket-keeper), Babar Hayat, Kinchit Shah, Nizakat Khan (captain), Adit Gorawara, Yasim Murtaza, Aizaz Khan, Ehsan Khan, Mohammad Ghazanfar, Daniel Pascoe

UGA playing XI (probable): Simon Ssesazi, Emmanuel Hasahya, Ronak Patel, Brian Masaba (captain), Dinesh Nakrani, Fred Achelam (wicket-keeper), Deusdedit Muhumuza, Riazat Ali Shah, Frank Nsubuga, Cosmas Kyewuta, Juma Miyagi
