The final of the St Lucia T10 Blast 2021 will see the Micoud Eagles take on the Choiseul Clay Pots at the Daren Sammy National Stadium on Friday.
The Micoud Eagles have been the team to beat in the St Lucia T10 Blast with six wins in seven games. Led by the inspirational Daren Sammy, the Eagles have consistently fared well with the bat. While the likes of Murlan Sammy and Shervin Charles have done well in the top-order, their bowling attack has also performed admirably. The Eagles head into the final on the back of a stunning nine-wicket win over the Mon Repos Stars in the semi-final.
Their opponents, Choiseul Clay Pots, are no pushovers. They showed everyone what they are capable of with a sensational performance against reigning champions South Castries Lions in the second semi-final. The Clay Pots beat the Lions by a whopping margin of 36 runs, with Jason Simon leading the way with the bat. However, they will need to come up with another such performance if they are to beat the high-flying Eagles in the St Lucia T10 Blast final.

Pitch Report
A high-scoring game beckons at the Daren Sammy National Stadium, with the ball expected to come nicely on to the bat in the early stages. Despite there being ample swing on offer, the batsmen have gone after the bowlers in the powerplay overs, trying to make good use of the field restrictions. The spinners will also come into play as the game progresses, making for an exciting contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first in the St Lucia T10 Blast final, with 100 being a competitive total at the venue.
