Top Picks

Kevin Augustin looked in sublime touch for the Mon Repos Stars in the semifinals. The all-rounder slammed three fours and eight sixes in his knock of 65*(28). Since he is also one of the lead bowlers of the team, Augustin will be the prime pick for captaincy tonight. Another player to watch out for from the Mon Repos Stars is Rohan Lesmond, who hit three sixes in his nine-ball inning during the semifinal.

The South Castries Lions have many match-winners in their team. The opening duo of Johnson Charles and Alex Antoine destroyed the Heritage bowling attack in the semifinal with their partnership of 122 runs. Antoine even picked up three wickets in the second innings of the game. He can be the ‘X-factor’ player of the night, whereas Tarrick Edward, who scalped four wickets in the last match, will be the wildcard pick for captaincy.
