Gros Islet Cannon Blasters vs Central Castries, St Lucia T10 Blast
Gros Islet Cannon Blasters will bid for a seventh consecutive win when they take on Central Castries in the final game of the second round of the Dream 11 St Lucia T10 Blast. The match will take place at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground on July 5 and gets underway at 14:00 local time.
Gros Islet Cannon Blasters have been in stunning batting form, with Kimani Melius, Garvin Serieux and Tarryck Gabriel all excelling so far. Even when they posted just 88/3 last time out, against South Castries Lions, it was still enough for an eight-run win to keep them top of this group.
They thrashed Central Castries when they last met too, bowling them out for 71 in a 32-run win. Central Castries recovered to reach the second round, however, and – while they lost to South Castries Lions – they go into this game on the back of their own eight-run win against Mon Repos Stars.

GICB Team News
Gros Islet Cannon Blasters were unchanged last time out and they may stick with that same team again.
GICB Key Players
- Kimani Melius: Set the tone with his unbeaten century at the start of the tournament. His 27 from 16 balls pales in comparison, but it was a vital knock in a narrow win.
- Tarryck Gabriel: Two monster partnerships with Melius have taken the headlines and he contributed 16 at number two last time out. He can also bowl.
- Garvin Serieux: Has delivered on the four occasions he has been called upon, top-scoring in three matches and adding 22* from 15 last time out.
GICB Team Form
Between them, Kimani Melius, Tarryck Gabriel and Garvin Serieux have put in some serious batting performances to lift Gros Islet Cannon Blasters to six wins from six. Their bowlers played their part last time out, however, as they defended 88/3 against South Castries Lions. Dornan Edward’s 1-7 from two overs was particularly key as they restricted the Lions to 80/3.

Central Castries Team News & Playing 11
CCMH Team News
Tyler Sookwa came into the team last time out and Keygan Arnold could be in contention again too with neither Jaden Elibox nor Sanjay Hayle bowling economically.
CCMH Key Players
- Ackeem Auguste: Has only showed his undoubted batting talent in small flashes, but the teenager is highly rated in St Lucian cricket and for good reason.
- Stephen Naitram: Hammered three fours and five sixes as he scored a 27-ball 50 last time out – a key knock at the top of the order.
- Dillan John: Has generally taken wickets consistently and the two he took in the first over last time out set the tone for the narrow win.
CCMH Team Form
Central Castries Mindhood have lost just twice in this tournament – to Gros Islet Cannon Blasters in the first group stage and to South Castries Lions in the second. They bounced back from the latter last time out, however. Stephen Naitram hit a half-century and Dillan John took 2-7 from two overs as they hit 98/6 and restricted Mon Repos to 90/7.
