Team Previews
Pirates Bay Raiders (7 Wins, 0 Losses)
The Raiders remain the team to beat, sitting comfortably atop the table with a perfect record. Evin Lewis (425 runs) continues his devastating form, while Shammon Hooper (8 wickets) provides crucial breakthroughs. Their last completed match saw them chase down 83 against Mt Irvine Surfers, with Hooper (34) and Josh Telemaque (28) steering them home. The Raiders’ all-round strength makes them overwhelming favorites.
No Mans Land Explorers (2 Wins, 7 Losses)
The Explorers’ struggles continue, suffering a heavy 64-run defeat to Store Bay Snorkelers last outing. While Leron Lezama (146 runs) has shown glimpses of form, the batting collapses regularly – evidenced by their 81/7 chase of 145. Imran Khan (7 wickets) has been their lone bright spot with the ball. Unless their top order fires, another defeat seems inevitable.
