SKN Team News
Will Smeed came into the team for the last game but even the arrival of the young and exciting English opener was not enough to make the Patriots anywhere near competitive. They will be hoping for one of their top order batters to deliver in this game.

- Oshane Thomas- the 26 year old West Indies international picked up all of his three wickets in the last hame during the first eight overs. He is particularly dangerous with the new ball.
