Leeward Islands
The Leeward Islands finished last on the points table in the last season, but they have turned a new leaf this time around. It has won 3 of its 4 fixtures so far, and 1 of its matches was abandoned. With that, the Leeward Islands sit comfortably at the top of the Zone B table.

He has been supported well by Jahmar Hamilton, Devon Thomas, and Hayden Walsh. In the bowling department, every bowler has chipped in at different stages, making the Leeward Islands one of the most potent bowling sides in this series.

Jamaica Scorpions
The Jamaica Scorpions haven’t been consistent enough this season, winning just 2 of its 4 matches so far. As a result, it is second in the Zone A table, just 2 points above. They would desperately want to win this game to improve their chances of making it into the knockout stages.
Brandon King has been performing well at the top of the order, having scored an aggregate of 126 runs. Captain Rovman Powell has led from the front and is the top scorer for his team so far. He has played quite a few good innings to get his team out of some sticky situations.
However, other than them, none of the batsmen have played well, and the batting remains a weak link for Jamaica. Dennis Bulli and Jeavor Royal have been bowling pretty well, and have received good support from Odean Smith.
