Team Previews
Combined Islands Preview
Sitting at 4th position on the points table with 2 wins and 3 losses, Combined Islands are desperate for momentum. Their campaign has seen mixed results—strong individual performances, but lacking consistency as a unit.
Zawandi White, their top run scorer with 119 runs, has been the backbone of their batting, while Shernyl Burns has led the bowling charts with 9 wickets. However, their loss in the last game to Anguilla exposed their vulnerabilities in both top-order batting and death bowling.
Despite losing to Anguilla by 9 runs, players like Israel Morton showed grit with 48 crucial runs. The failure to finish well while chasing 152 highlighted their middle-order collapse and inability to tackle pressure situations. Yet, they have shown enough glimpses of fight and depth in their squad to bounce back strongly.
Nevis Preview
Nevis currently hold the 3rd position with 3 wins and 2 losses. They’ve relied heavily on their star performers — Ross Powell, the tournament’s third-highest run-scorer with 246 runs, and Colin Archibald, who has picked up 10 wickets so far.
In their most recent match, they secured a narrow win over St. Kitts by 3 wickets. Despite a minor collapse during the chase of 115, James Cornelius and Archibald showcased their finishing abilities.
However, middle-order inconsistency remains a concern. While the bowling unit, led by Archibald, has been disciplined, the team will need better support acts around Powell to make a playoff push. Against Combined Islands, they will need their best cricket.

Favourite Team Today – Why?
Combined Islands enter this clash with better balance across departments. Despite a narrow defeat to Anguilla, their depth in batting (Zawandi White, Israel Morton) and bowling spearhead (Shernyl Burns) makes them formidable. Their fighting spirit in close games shows their resilience. Nevis have relied too heavily on Ross Powell and Archibald, and if these two fail, the rest often collapse under pressure. Combined Islands, on the other hand, have shown better distribution of responsibilities and a deeper bench. If they execute their plans and avoid early collapses, they are favorites to clinch this key match and boost their playoff chances.
