Dark View Explorers vs Salt Pond Breakers, VPL 10
In-form Salt Pond Breakers bid for a fifth consecutive win at the start of this inaugural Vincy T10 Premier League campaign when they take on Dark View Explorers. The match, at St Vincent’s Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, takes place on May 26 and is scheduled to start at 20:00 IST.
The Breakers have won four from four so far, with captain and marquee player Sunil Ambris – the West Indian opener – the central figure to that. He has scored 29, 75* and 41* in his last three figures and also showed some good bowling with aggregate figures of 6-29 from his eight overs in total.
Dark View Explorers have won two and lost two so far. Their most recent win was against Grenadines Divers, when a 59-run opening partnership proved vital in a six-run win.

Dark View Explorers Team News & Playing 11
DVE Team News
Shammon Hooper moved up the batting order to good effect last time out, with Lindon James dropping back to number three and Kensley Joseph sitting things out. It proved a winning tactic, and the Explorers could repeat it.
DVE Key Players
Deron Greaves: Six wickets and 102 runs so far have showed the Explorers’ opener’s all-round ability and importance to this team.
Sealron Williams: Figures of 3-11 last time out took him to seven wickets in total and won the Explorers the game.
Lindon James: His batting form peaked early, but the experienced captain has proved what he is capable of with bat in hand.
DVE Team Form
Victories against Fort Charlotte Strikers and Grenadines Divers were sandwiched between defeats to La Soufriere Hikers and Botanic Gardens Rangers. After posting 88/5 to come up short in pursuit of 105 to beat the latter, they only mustered 86/4 last time out. This time, however, Sealron Williams’ 3-11 helped them to a six-run win.

SPB Team News
Pushing Kadir Nedd up the order to open has proved hugely successful in the two games they have tried it so far and there seems no reason to think there will be any changes this time.
SPB Key Players
Sunil Ambris: The West Indian opener has been in superb form, not just with the bat – with which his 41* last time out took him beyond 150 runs – but with the ball too, where he has six wickets for just 29 runs.
Wesrick Strough: Took 2-7 and bowled a maiden last time out to move to seven wickets in total and continue his excellent death bowling.
Kadir Nedd: Has taken full advantage of being pushed up the batting order, having scored 50* and 24 in his last two innings there.
SPB Team Form
Salt Pond Breakers have set the pace with four wins from four so far. Strong bowling performances set the tone early on before Sunil Ambris’ batting came to the fore. He hit 75* and Kadir Nedd 50* in a total of 132/0 against La Soufriere Hikers to set up a 25-run win. Then, last time out, he hit 41* in a total of 104/2 and took 2-4 to help restrict Botanic Gardens Rangers to just 55/7.
