Points Table

Current Form

New York Strikers:

New York Strikers have been dominant throughout the tournament, securing crucial victories in both the Eliminator and Qualifier stages. In the Eliminator, they chased down Boca Raton Trailblazers’ 106-run target with ease. Colin Munro’s explosive 44 off 21 and Thisara Perera’s composed 33* off 15 led the way. Isuru Udana also impressed with his 2/17 bowling effort.

In Qualifier 1, New York successfully defended a modest total of 104/8 against Grand Cayman Jaguars. Mitchell Owen’s 22 and Ansh Patel’s economical spell of 2/8 played vital roles in sealing an 8-run win.

With key players like Sunil Narine, Carlos Brathwaite, and captain Thisara Perera leading the charge, New York has the depth and balance to challenge any opponent. Their ability to handle pressure and their consistency make them the favourites heading into the final.

Caribbean Tigers:

Caribbean Tigers have showcased their firepower throughout the tournament and that’s one of the reasons they had such a good win streak. Sikandar Raza has been their standout performer, with his all-round abilities making a significant impact. The Tigers’ top order, featuring Josh Brown, Chris Lynn and George Munsey, has the potential to post massive totals. The Tigers’ bowling attack, led by Andrew Tye, Bradley Currie and Suranga Lakmal, has effectively contained opposition batsmen. Their strength lies in their dynamic batting and disciplined bowling.
