Team News
Barbados Tridents
Jason Holder their captain has been in great form, not with the ball but with the bat in his hand. They have gone in with four spinners which worked quite well against SNP and will continue to do so.
The likes of Shai Hope and Corey Anderson need to perform well so that they can get more runs as a team. Rashid Khan is batting way down the order and his batting is not being used, but he is always a player to watch out for.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
SNP desperately need to win a game if they want to stay in the competition. They haven’t opened their account which is not a good sign for any team after three games.
They have a dynamic opening par but they are yet to fire in this tournament. Once Lewis and Lynn get going it will be difficult to stop them but maybe the slow pitches are not suiting their batting style.
Their skipper Rayad Emrit has done well with the ball but the likes of Sheldon Cottrell and Ish Sodhi can perform better.
