The Nutmeg Warriors will lock horns with Cinnamon in the Spice Isle T10 final at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada on Friday.
The Nutmeg Warriors managed to pick up only four wins from their 10 league stage matches, thereby finishing fourth in the Spice Isle T10 standings. However, Andre Fletcher and co. managed to turn the tables in the semi-finals by registering a stunning 28-run victory over table-toppers Saffron Strikers. The Warriors, who are on a three-game winning streak, will be a confident unit heading into the summit clash.
The Cinnamon Pacers, on the other hand, finished second in the points table with six wins from their 10 matches. The Micah Narine-led side then produced a clinical and all-round performance in the semi-finals, beating the Ginger Generals for the third time in the Spice Isle T10. The Pacers will more than fancy their chances of winning the title at the expense of the Nutmeg Warriors.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the National Cricket Stadium is a batting paradise, with the average first innings score at the venue being 113 runs. Moreover, the Spice Isle T10 final is expected to be played on a more bouncy track, which should aid the batsmen to play shots on the up. There is little or no help on offer for the bowlers, who will have to deploy variations to stop the leakage of runs and scalp wickets. The captain winning the toss should invite the opposition to bat first as the chasing teams have won the majority of the Spice Isle T10 games played on this ground.
