Today’s Cricket Scotland League prospects

-

have rediscover­ed their form of last season,” noted Majeed. “But we will take the confidence and form of last Saturday’s epic victory into this game.”

Uddingston expect to be close to full strength while Kashif Pervez and Virat Maan return for Renfrew.

Despite having hit the front with their win at Titwood, Ayr will have their feet on the ground for the visit of Dumfries. Dumfries boast two of the most lethal bowlers in the division, Niall Alexander and Pat Druce, who have already claimed 14 wickets each so it is little wonder that the home captain Andi McElnea has warned his men to take nothing for granted.

Clydesdale have already recovered from last week’s upset by winning the Murgitroyd Rowan Cup against Prestwick on Thursday and Colin Mitchell, their chairman of cricket, wants his men to carry that form into today’s potentiall­y awkward away game against Drumpellie­r. He said: “Winning the Rowan Cup without four first-team regulars showed we have a bit of depth but we need to make sure we are better than we were against Ayr.”

East Kilbride are favourites when they host a West of Scotland who are yet to win at Torrance House, but the home captain Josh Johnston said: “We never take any game for granted and West will be hard especially with the likes of John Blain and Gavin Smith in their side.”

West will try a new opening pairing in Jonny Graham and Jatinder Singh. Craig Smith returns for East Kilbride.
