Match 11 of the Vincy Premier League has the Fort Charlotte Strikers taking on table-toppers Botanical Gardens Rangers at the Arnos Vale Ground on Thursday.
The Rangers have been the team to beat this season and have three wins out of three games. With their opener Stewart getting them off to flying starts consistently, the Rangers have done brilliantly with the bat so far. However, it has been their bowling attack that has won them games, with the duo of Williams and Providence featuring among the highest wicket-takers.
Their opponents, the Fort Charlotte Strikers, have endured a poor campaign so far with no wins in three games. Despite the best efforts of Lavia with the ball in hand, they are yet to strike a chord as a unit and this has been detrimental to their fortunes.
Although they enter this game as the clear underdogs, the Fort Charlotte Strikers have the firepower to pull off an upset against the more fancied Botanical Gardens Rangers. With all to play for in this fixture, we can expect a relatively high-scoring, competitive game in St Vincent.

Pitch Report
Although the weather is a cause for concern, we should get at least a rain-shortened game on Thursday. There is a lot of swing on offer for the pacers early on, while the spinners should rule the roost in the middle overs.
The dimensions of the ground might play into the batsmen's hands in what should be a good contest between bat and ball. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss with 80-90 being par at this venue.
