Salt Pond Breakers – Team Preview
Salt Pond Breakers (SPB) come into this 5th place playoff fixture with some recent momentum on their side. They registered a confident 5-wicket win over La Soufriere Hikers, chasing down 106 with an over to spare. The team has displayed patches of brilliance this season, and while inconsistency has kept them from reaching the playoffs, they’ll aim to finish with a win.
Haston Jackson has been their best batter in the tournament, scoring 190 runs and giving solid starts. However, his early departure in the previous match didn’t deter the chase, as seasoned campaigners Romano Pierre and Sunil Ambris held the innings together with 28 and 30 runs respectively. Their middle order, supported by players like Lindon James and Delorn Johnson, has added value in crunch moments.
Bowling-wise, Alston Bobb has been their strike weapon with 6 wickets to his name. Delorn Johnson’s captaincy has also stood out, especially in rotating bowlers and applying pressure when needed. SPB’s strength lies in their all-round depth, with several players contributing across departments.
They will bank on early wickets and a solid top-three batting show to seal this playoff fixture and end their campaign on a winning note.
Fort Charlotte Strikers – Team Preview
Fort Charlotte Strikers (FCS) have had a disappointing Vincy Premier League 2025, finishing at the bottom of the points table. In their last outing, they posted a competitive 104/8 against La Soufriere Hikers but couldn’t defend the total, losing the match by 2 wickets.
Despite the overall poor showing, a few individual performances have stood out. Sealroy Williams has been their most reliable batter, accumulating 146 runs this season. His form will be critical if FCS hope to overcome a resurgent Salt Pond Breakers. Kyle Jordan and Casmus Hackshaw have shown glimpses of form, but consistency has been missing.
The bowling unit, led by Jerome Jones with 9 wickets, has done a commendable job at times. However, leaking runs in the middle overs and a lack of finishing touch have hurt the Strikers. Gidron Pope’s leadership has not clicked this season, and he will need to inspire a turnaround in this final outing.
FCS have shown fighting spirit despite results not going their way. If their batting can fire in unison and bowlers execute tighter lines, they could push Salt Pond Breakers all the way.
