SCL VS VFNR Playing XI:
South Castries Lions Playing XI (likely):
West Indies international, Johnson Charles brought the Lions’ campaign back on track with a whirlwind 84-run knock in the second game against CCMH. His knock helped the side chase down a mammoth 109-run total in 9.4 overs. Other batsmen, however, could only score in single digits.
The batsmen couldn’t score much in their previous game as well. Going ahead in the tournament, it could become a major issue for them. Also, with that, Johnson Charles has a huge responsibility on his shoulders to play till the very end and contributes significantly to the team’s total.
As far as the bowling department is concerned, Xavier Gabriel and Shervon Leo hold the key for them. Aaron Joseph too have had pretty good result so far. He has 2 wickets in two games so far.
Probable XI:
Johnson Charles (wk), Wade Clovis, Rumario Simmons, Wendell Inglis, Collinus Callendar, Kemrol Charles, Xavier Gabriel, Shervon Leo, Avalinus Callendar, Aaron Joseph, Daniel Jn Baptiste
Vieux Fort North Riders Playing XI (likely)
The Vieux Fort North Riders started with a win, defeating CCMH by 7 wickets, followed by a defeat in the next game. Their main man, Tariq Gabriel got out on zero after scoring 45 in the first game. His partner, Chris Pamphile is yet to come to the party. Much like Lions, the Rider’s batting department is too heavily dependent on the openers. The bowling department will bank on the likes of Ernell Sexius, T Gabriel, and Al Prince among others.
Probable Eleven:
Curtly Johnny, Al Prince, Ricky Hippolyte, Ernell Sexius, Junior Peter, David Naitram, Chrislon Fanis, Chris Pamphile, Joshaun Mann, Kurt Edward, Shawn Auguste
Both the teams depend on the top order to post good totals on the board. However, it will be the bowling that could decide the fate of the game. Looking at how both the teams have fared so far, Vieux Fort North Riders is likely to win the game on Saturday.
