La Soufriere Hikers vs Fort Charlotte Strikers, VPL?
La Soufriere Hikers will bid to get back to winning ways immediately when they take on winless Fort Charlotte Strikers on day four of the 2020 Vincy T10 Premier League. The match, at St Vincent’s Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, takes place on May 25 and the live action is set to start at 20:00 local time.
La Soufriere Hikers won each of the first two matches and were in excellent batting form, but lost their unbeaten start to fellow in-form team Salt Pond Breakers on day three. Set a huge 133 to win, the Hikers could only reach 107/5 as Dillon Douglas scored 47.
Fort Charlotte Strikers have lost three from three, meanwhile. Gidron Pope’s half-century lifted them to their highest score of the tournament so far – 92/6 against Grenadines Divers – but it was still not enough to avoid a 22-run defeat.

La Soufriere Hikers Team News & Playing 11
LSH Team News
Expensive bowling will have been the Hikers’ biggest concern last time out and, if there are any changes, they are likely to come in the bowling department.
LSH Key Players
Desron Maloney: Started the tournament with a bang, hitting 41* from 20 balls on the opening day. The Hikers captain will be keen to get back to that form as soon as possible.
Othneil Lewis: No bowler stood out last time out, but he has generally been economical – particularly when he took 1-4 in the first game.
Dillon Douglas: Scored 40 from 20 in the second match and 47 from 30 last time out, proving his quality at number three.
LSH Team Form
Desron Maloney’s 41* from 20 balls made light work of a small chase against Botanic Gardens Rangers first up, while Dillon Douglas hit 40 as the Hikers’ 109/6 was enough for a six-run win against Dark View Explorers. Last time out, however, Douglas’ 47 from 30 balls could only lift them to 107/5 as they replied to the Breakers’ stunning 132/0.

Fort Charlotte Strikers Team News & Playing 11
FCS Team News
Fort Charlotte Strikers tweaked the batting order last time out but they are yet to strike upon a working combination.
FCS Key Players
Gidron Pope: After two tidy innings in the first two matches, he hit eight sixes last time out to blast 59 from 30 balls at the top of the order.
Keron Cottoy: The most economical of the bowlers as he took 0-15 from two overs last time out, but his scoring rate was too slow.
Kirton Lavia: Three wickets in the first two matches, including 2-10 from two overs in the second, but he did not bowl in the third game.
FCS Team Form
Two below-par batting performances proved costly in the first two games and Gidron Pope’s half-century in the third was still not enough as Fort Charlotte Strikers could only muster 92/6 in reply to Grenadines Divers’ 114/3. It leaves them bottom of the table with three straight defeats.
Fort Charlotte Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Gidron Pope, Renrick Williams, Keron Cottoy (c), Ronald Scott, Chelston Stowe, Jahiel Walters (wk), Ray Jordan, Rasheed Frederick, Olanzo Bellingy, Kirton Lavia, Sealroy Williams
