Pitch report: Looks like a dry and hard wicket. The ball can probably swing early due to the windy conditions at the venue. 184 was the average first innings total at this venue last season, can be a high scoring encounter, reckons Daren Ganga.

Pollard: We are celebrating 10 years in this league. Looking forward to having a good season. Guys play a lot of franchise cricket and international cricket, the guys are prepared for this. The younger guys are gelling well, nice build up. Edwards is playing. There have been a few niggles in our camp, hence some new faces are playing.

Fletcher: We are going to bowl first, it's a new pitch. Need to see what it has in it, will try to take it from there. There were soft dismissals in the last match, need to be responsible. Hopefully we have a good outing today. I never knew I was that close, looking forward to see what I can do for my team, need to lead them. My team comes first. Two changes, Rossouw misses, Rutherford is in.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (Playing XI): Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher(w/c), Kyle Mayers, Tristan Stubbs, Odean Smith, Sherfane Rutherford, Dominic Drakes, Mikyle Louis, Ryan John, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi
