Team Previews
Combined Islands Preview
Combined Islands had a heartbreak of a loss in their previous match, falling just 2 runs short of a modest target. Joshua Grant stood tall with 45 runs but lacked support from the other end. Michael Palmer’s early dismissal was a crucial blow, especially after his 2-wicket haul earlier in the match. The bowling unit was disciplined but needs better middle-over penetration.
The strength of Combined Islands lies in their bowling, especially with Palmer and Daniel Doram providing spin options, while Jemol Williams offers pace. Their batting, however, hinges heavily on Grant and Tyanick Honore. The team must ensure its middle order contributes more consistently, as collapses have cost them tight games.
Virgin Islands Preview
Virgin Islands are in a similar boat, having lost to Anguilla by 7 wickets. Their batting failed to fire, with Ronniel Jeffrey the lone performer scoring 25 runs. None of the top or middle order could hang around long enough, leading to a below-par total of 132.
Their bowling, led by Garry Prince, lacked penetration and failed to defend the modest total. While they possess talent in Doyle Jones and Joel Williams, it’s essential that they step up. The team’s success depends largely on whether their batters can build partnerships and whether bowlers can control the powerplay overs.

Favourite Team Today: Combined Islands
