CWI B Team News & Playing 11
CWIB Team News
Justin Greaves returned to the top of the order against Vancouver Knights in the first play-off match, as expected, and leading wicket taker Obed McCoy was also back in action. That meant AlickAthanaze and Khary Pierre dropping out of the team, and after their six-wicket win it could be an unchanged team. Derval Green was expensive with the ball, however, and Pierre is one option if they choose to drop him.
CWIB Key Players
There is no doubt Sherfane Rutherford was the star man in the play-off match. The Guyanan all-rounder took 2/25 from his four overs with the ball before running riot with the bat - hitting an unbeaten 134 from 66 balls to win the game for the CWI B Team.
Justin Greaves returned, meanwhile, having already proved himself a threat with 89* against Winnipeg Hawks, 45 from 33 balls against Toronto and even bowling figures of 2/20 in that latter match.
Nicolas Pooran's 28-ball 44 boosted the chase last time out, adding to the 58 he scored on the opening day.
Obed McCoy picked up his 11th wicket of the tournament in the play-off win - his first scalp since taking ten wickets in the first three matches.
CWIB Team Form
The CWI B Team won their first four matches of the tournament to prove anybody who had written them off were very wide of the mark.
Nicolas Pooran (58 from 35) led the chase of 185 to beat Montreal in the first match, while Fabian Allen's superb lower-order swinging helped them chase 156 to beat Edmonton Royals.
Justin Greaves then top scored in the next two matches - 89 not out from 58 balls in a nine-wicket defeat of Winnipeg Hawks and then 45 (as well as 2/20 with the ball) as they saw off Toronto Nationals by eight wickets.
They were bowled out for 140 in reply to Vancouver Knights 175/4 to end their winning start, however, and Shamar Springer's quickfire 62 was not enough in defeat to Montreal Tigers.
The CWI B Team's batsmen, led by Sherfane Rutherford, were back to their best in the play-off, however. Vancouver posted 215/6 but lost by six wickets as Anthony Bramble hit the final ball for six.
CWI B Predicted Playing 11
Justin Greaves, Shamar Springer, Sherfane Rutherford, Brandon King, Nicolas Pooran, Anthony Bramble, Fabian Allen, Kavem Hodge, Jeremiah Louis, Obed McCoy, Khary Pierre
Vancouver Knights Team News & Playing 11
VCK Team News
Ben Dunk has been the man asked to fill Evin Lewis' shoes in the batting line-up, with Chadwick Walton moving up to opener alongside Chris Gayle. The remainder of the team has been unchanged and that is likely to be case for the final.
VCK Key Players
After a slow start, Chadwick Walton has benefitted from being promoted to open, scoring 54*, 54 and 45 in his last three innings. Rassie van der Duthen remains top run scorer, however, with 211 from seven games - including an unbeaten 83 from 56 balls against Montreal Tigers.
Chris Gayle remains a threat too - his 63 in the first match between these two teams proved that.
Andre Russell has hammered 185 runs with the bat, meanwhile, and has picked up ten wickets from seven games too. Tim Southee also has ten wickets and Fawad Ahmed has taken 11 but Sheldon Cottrell - who took 4/19 when Vancouver beat the CWI B Team in the group stage - is leading the way for the Knights with 12 wickets.
VCK Team Form
Vancouver Knights have only lost two matches but they were very similar defeats. They failed to defend 227/4 in their opening game against Toronto Nationals and lost despite posting 215/6 in their first play-off match against the CWI B Team.
In between, however, they won four matches and had a further one washed out. They chased 160 to beat Winnipeg Hawks by six wickets with 14 balls to spare and then Rassie van der Duthen posted 83* in a total of 166/6 against Montreal Tigers - on their way to an 18-run win.
The match against Edmonton was washed out, but Sheldon Cottrell helped to give Vancouver victory when they first met the CWI B Team as he took 4/19 in a 35-run win. Andre Russell the took 3/17 as they thrashed Toronto Nationals but their good form could not continue as they lost to the CWI B Team in the first play-off.
That left them facing Winnipeg Hawks for a place in the final, in a rain-affected match, but some big-hitting helped them to 152/5 from 13 overs and the Hawks were 84/5 when more rain forced the early abandonment of the game and confirmed a Vancouver win.
Vancouver Knights Predicted Playing 11
Chris Gayle, Chadwick Walton, Ben Dunk, Rassie van der Duthen, Babar Hayat, Andre Russell, Saad Bin Zafar, Tim Southee, Sheldon Cottrell, Fawad Ahmed, Steven Jacobs

Vancouver were triumphant in the group stage, with Sheldon Cottrell claiming 4/19 from four overs and Andre Russell and Fawad Ahmad also producing economical bowling figures. Vancouver had posted 175/4 from their 20 overs and, in reply, the CWI B Team were all out for 140.
Most recently, however, the West Indian side hit back - and in style - to book this final place. Vancouver posted 215/6 but Sherfane Rutherford's lusty hitting led the reply. Having been 13/3, they team turned things around as Rutherford - with 134 not out from 66 balls - took the attack to the Knights' bowlers. Anthony Bramble hit a six off the final ball as the CWI B Team finished on 221/4 to win by six wickets.
