Pre-Match Analysis:
Soufriere Sulphur City Stars need to pull up their socks one last time in their final league game as they play for survival to stay in the finals race. Things didn’t go their way in the last couple of matches as they lost to Mon Repos Stars and Central Castries Mindoo Heritage. Both the losses came when they bowled second, failing to defend 108 and 131 which shows their bowling hasn’t been up to the mark. But they have no complaints about their batting as they have scored the excess of 100 in the last 5 matches. Junior Henry is their top performer, smashing 217 runs in 6 matches. With 3 wins and as many losses, they are placed 4th in the standings with 6 points.
Vieux Fort North Raiders failed to live up to the expectations in the tournament and the outcome is that they are winless from their six matches played. Their batting hasn’t clicked at all as they hold the lowest score by a team in the competition, scoring 51 against Mon Repos Stars in the tournament opener. Having already been knocked out they don’t have the pressure and expect to finish well. If they do win their final game, they still finish at the bottom of the standings.
