Gidron Pope: His 28 when these teams last met showed flashes of what he could do. He has one half-century and 146 runs in total so far.
Kirton Lavia: Too expensive when these teams last met, and wayward, but he has bounced back well and continued that with 2-11 most recently.
Keron Cottoy: Took a wicket last time out but the Strikers will have expected much more from their marquee player – who has a lot to prove in the final two league matches.
