South Castries Lions are big favourites ahead of the Dream 11 St Lucia T10 Blast Final, as they prepare to take on shock semi-final winners Mon Repos Stars. The match will be played at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, on July 7 and the live action gets underway at 14:00 local time.
South Castries Lions have been one of the best teams in the tournament, losing just once so far.

Mon Repos Stars Team News & Playing 11
MRS Team News
Changes seem unlikely after their stunning semi-final win, which will mean Kendal Samuel and Dichege Henry missing the final.
MRS Key Players
- Sabinus Emmanuel: Superb early form with the bat, playing consistently well at the top of the order, has halted slightly in the last two games but he has proved what he is capable of.
- Kevin Augustin: The all-rounder has been a key figure and proved as much as he smashed 68* from 25 balls and then took 1-25 last time out.
- Sadrack Descartes: Suddenly hit some wicket-taking form at the end of the second group stage, including a six-wicket haul in one game and two when these teams last met.
MRS Team Form
Mon Repos Stars looked down and out after three straight defeats in the second group stage left them in fourth place and facing the toughest semi-final.
They bounced back against the odds, however, with Kevin Augustin’s 68* leading them to 118/4 before they restricted previously unbeaten Gros Islet Cannon Blasters to 110/3 in reply.
