St Lucia Zouks Team News & Playing 11
STZ Team News
Jeavor Royal has played the last two matches with Obed McCoy out injured. Royal took 1-30 from his first T20 bowling spell last time out ,and may continue ahead of Krishmar Santokie if McCoy is still ruled out. John Campbell’s return to the team was brief, meanwhile – Andre McCarthy replaced him last time out and the Zouks could be unchanged from that win.
STZ Key Players
Andre Fletcher: Inconsistent with the bat but he top-scored last time out, getting the Zouks off to a brilliant start as he hit 36 from 23 balls. On his day, he is a top-quality, big-hitting opening batsman in T20 cricket.
Colin Ingram: Could not kick on from his rain-halted unbeaten half-century against Trinbago Knight Riders, but he still made a decent start last time out and will want to build on his decent form going into the final few games.
Fawad Ahmed: Moved to eight wickets in this year’s tournament when he claimed 2-19 with his leg spin last time out. While he was outshone by Hardus Viljoen, the former Aussie international has been the most consistent bowler in this attack.
STZ Team Form
Victory against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots last time out was just St Lucia Zouks’ second of the campaign so far and their first at home. They were carted for just 101 in their first home game, losing by 72 runs against Barbados Tridents, and then only 12.2 overs were possible in their second against Trinbago Knight Riders.
Last time out, Andre Fletcher set the tone at the top of the order and Darren Sammy ensured a strong finish as they posted 165/6 from their 20 overs against the Patriots. In reply, Hardus Viljoen (3-14), Kesrick Williams (3-48) and Fawad Ahmed (2-19) helped restrict them to 145/9.

GAW Team News
Romario Shepherd returned in place of Qais Ahmad last time out and again bowled well. Ahmad could return this time, however, with Odean Smith potentially the man to miss out, if the Warriors want to get their in-form spinner back in their ranks.

Brandon King: The uncapped opening batsmen hit his second consecutive half-century at the top of the order last time out. His unbeaten 51 means he has scored 49, 59 and 51* in his last three innings.
Shoaib Malik: The captain has already batted well in CPL 2019 season – he scored 67* in the win against Jamaica Tallawahs, for example, and then added some excellent bowling to that too, by claiming 1-10 from four overs last time out.
Imran Tahir: One of the best late replacements the Warriors could possibly have hoped for, when he was drafted in to replace Shadab Khan. He has taken two wickets in each of the three matches since, bowling economically along the way with figures of 2-17, 2-21 and 2-22.
