The Breakers were at full strength for the semi-final and players like Jeremy Layne and Benniton Stapleton, who have been in and out of the team, proved their worth with key roles.
SPB Key Players
Sunil Ambris: Will hope his rare poor performance in the semi-finals was a blip, having been the tournament’s stand-out player. He has hit 259 runs and taken nine wickets so far.
Wesrick Strough: Figures of 2-11 last time out took him to 13 wickets in the tournament so far. He has 4-19 across the last two matches.
Delorn Johnson: His bowling form has stepped right up after a solid start, taking 2-4 last time out. He has five wickets in the last three matches and scored a valuable 13* last time out too.
SPB Team Form
Salt Pond Breakers only defeat of the tournament came against La Soufriere Hikers, having won five in a row before that. Since then, they have bounced back with wins against Grenadines Divers and Dark View Explorers, before their semi-final win against the Divers too.
Delorn Johnson took 2-4 and Wesrick Strough 2-11 as they restricted the Divers to 82/9 but a horror first over saw the Breakers reduced to 3-4 in reply. Benniton Stapleton (42*) led the recovery, however, to seal a five-wicket win with seven balls to spare.
