GICB Team News
Kymani Sexius and Dane Edward missed out on the semi-final, so both could come back into the team after both Simeon Gerson and Lee Solomon proved expensive last time out.
GICB Key Players
- Kimani Melius: Stunning batting up the order, including a century and two big half-centuries, have set the tone for several of the Cannon Blasters’ wins so far.
- Tarryck Gabriel: Enjoyed some huge partnerships with Melius and hit another 47*, including four sixes, last time out.
- Garvin Serieux: A rare failure last time out may have proved costly, as so often previously he delivered hugely important runs when called upon.
GICB Team Form
Gros Islet Cannon Blasters won seven matches from seven to top the first-round group and the second-round group and they looked on course for the final as a result.

CCMH Team News
Jaden Elibox was the most expensive of the bowlers last time out and he could be replaced by Keygan Arnold this time. Alleyn Prospere is out with an injury picked up when these teams met at the end of the group stage.
CCMH Key Players
- Ackeem Auguste: A final chance for the young batsman, so good at two-day level, to prove his worth in the shortest format too.
- Stephen Naitram: Scored good runs at the top of the order and will be key to Central Castries’ hopes of an improved batting performance.
- Dillan John: Wicketless last time out, but generally he has been consistent with the ball and bowled well.
CCMH Team Form
Central Castries Mindoo Heritage have lost four times in this tournament, including in each of their last two games. Defeats to Gros Islet Cannon Blasters and South Castries Lions in their last two games were the second time they had lost to each of them.
