Grenadines Divers Team News & Playing 11
GRD Team News
Alex Samuel retained his place and his form last time out and they now need the top three to fire together rather than individually.
GRD Key Players
Obed McCoy: Took 2-11 to finally make his mark with the ball, and the West Indian international left-arm paceman will hope that is a platform for more.
Asif Hooper: Scored an unbeaten half-century in the Divers’ only win so far as well as taking three wickets and bowling economically so far.
Alex Samuel: Scored 20 from seven balls, including three sixes, to prove the impact he can have having come into the starting XI.
GRD Team Form
Asif Hooper hit an unbeaten half-century in the win against Fort Charlotte Strikers, but the Divers have otherwise generally come up short with the bat. They hit 68 and 66/5 in their first two games and 80/8 last time out was six runs short of their target.

LSH Team News
Changes have been minimal but enough to keep things fresh, and Kimson Dalzell could return this time to tweak things once more.
LSH Key Players
Desron Maloney: The Hikers’ marquee player and captain has not really backed up the 41* from 20 balls he scored in the first game, but that was enough to show what he is capable of.
Othneil Lewis: Back to his bowling best when he claimed 2-6 from his two overs last time out.
Dillon Douglas: Did not spark so much last time out, playing a supporting role with the bat instead, but he did hit two 40s in the two previous games.
LSH Team Form
La Soufriere Hikers started the tournament with back-to-back wins before they ran into in-form Salt Pond Breakers and suffered a heavy defeat. After that chastening bowling experience, however, they beat Fort Charlotte Strikers last time out with a much-improved bowling performance. Defending 84/5, Othniel Lewis set the tone with 2-6 as the Strikers wrapped up a ten-run win.
