Fort Charlotte Strikers vs Grenadines Divers, Vincy Premier T10 League
After five consecutive defeats, Fort Charlotte Strikers take on fellow strugglers Grenadines Divers as the second round of round-robin group phase fixtures kicks off in the 2020 Vincy T10 Premier League. The match, at the Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, on May 27 gets underway at 18:00 IST.
Both teams are struggling at the wrong end of the VPL table after five matches. While the Strikers have lost every game so far, the Divers have won just once – when these teams last met. Asif Hooper’s half-century was key to that win, but the Divers have lost both games since. Hooper’s 3-19 against La Soufriere Hikers and Alex Samuel’s half-century kept them in contention last time out, but they suffered a ten-run defeat chasing 99 to win.
Fort Charlotte Strikers suffered their fifth consecutive defeat last time out, meanwhile – a six-run defeat chasing 102 to beat Botanic Gardens Rangers. It was an improved batting performance in many regards, but the Strikers remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Fort Charlotte Strikers Team News & Playing 11
FCS Team News
Fort Charlotte Strikers continue to tinker with their line-up and there could be more changes this time as they look to end their five-match losing streak.
FCS Key Players
Gidron Pope: Smashed 59 when these teams last met and he was in top batting form last time out too to prove his talent.
Keron Cottoy: The marquee player has failed to shine so far but brief glimpses have been a reminder of how his leg-spin bowling and top-order batting could make a difference.
Kirton Lavia: Inconsistent with the ball, but he has picked up regular wickets. He claimed another last time out too.
FCS Team Form
Fort Charlotte Strikers’ batting has fallen short too often. Gidron Pope and Sealroy Williams batted well last time out, sharing a big-hitting partnership, but wickets fell at key times and – needing 102 to win, they were eventually short on 95/4.
Fort Charlotte Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Gidron Pope, Renrick Williams, Keron Cottoy (c), Ronald Scott, Chelston Stowe, Jahiel Walters (wk), Ray Jordan, Rasheed Frederick, Sylvan Spencer, Kirton Lavia, Sealroy Williams

GRD Team News
Alex Samuel’s good form continued since stepping into the team and he is likely to continue at number three. Geron Wyllie did not play last time out, and could be an option to bring back into the team.
GRD Key Players
Asif Hooper: Scored a match-winning half-century when these teams last met, while it was his bowling that impressed last time out as he claimed 3-19.
Alex Samuel: Continued his good batting form since making his first appearance of the tournament against the Strikers. He hit 55 from 30 balls last time out.
Obed McCoy: The West Indies international has failed to consistently impress in this tournament, but it would be unwise to write the left-arm paceman off.
GRD Team Form
Since beating Fort Charlotte Strikers, Grenadines Divers have lost both matches. Last time out, they blew a good opportunity to beat La Soufriere Hikers. Asif Hooper took 3-19 as they restricted the Hikers to 98/4. In reply, Alex Samuel hit 55 from 30 balls but was run out with seven balls still to bowl and – needing 13 more to win – the Divers managed just two more runs.
