Botanical Garden Rangers – Team Preview
Botanical Garden Rangers (BGR) are entering this Qualifier 2 clash on the back of a thrilling victory in the Eliminator against Dark View Explorers. The Rangers, captained by Kenneth Dember, have displayed grit and form when it matters most. Their performance has been bolstered by the brilliance of Andre Fletcher, who has accumulated 273 runs this season with consistency and flair.
In the Eliminator, they were set a challenging target of 117, but BGR chased it down with confidence. Johann Jeremiah was the hero of the chase, scoring 52 runs off just 24 balls, while Roshon Primus anchored the middle order with a vital 32. Their top order is aggressive, and the presence of experienced campaigners like Desron Maloney and Keron Cottoy adds muscle to their lineup.
Their bowling unit, led by Ronnel Jeffrey (13 wickets), has done an excellent job containing runs in the middle overs. Support from Kenneth Dember and Darel Cyrus has ensured they apply pressure from both ends. What makes BGR a formidable side is their depth and the ability to hold nerve in crunch moments—traits they will rely on heavily in this knockout fixture.
La Soufriere Hikers – Team Preview
La Soufriere Hikers (LSH) had a heartbreak in Qualifier 1, where they narrowly lost to Grenadines Divers by just 6 runs despite a brilliant start in their chase. However, they have another chance to make it to the final, and they’ll be determined to bounce back stronger.
LSH has been one of the most consistent sides this season, powered by the batting excellence of Dejourn Charles, who has scored 274 runs so far and is among the top run-getters in the league. His partnerships with Jahiel Walters, who smashed 60 runs in 30 balls in the previous game, have given LSH strong platforms in most matches.
On the bowling front, Rayan Williams has led the attack with 8 wickets, proving effective both in the powerplay and at the death. The supporting cast, including Othneil Lewis and Gilon Tyson, has been effective in building pressure.
Their middle order, however, is a concern. Despite solid starts, the middle overs often see collapses or loss of momentum, which cost them in their last match. Captain Dillon Douglas will need to ensure better finishers step up and make an impact.
With both teams having explosive top orders and quality bowlers, the match promises fireworks. LSH’s redemption arc or BGR’s surge to the final? We’re about to find out.
