Vieux Fort North Raiders will take on Micoud Eagles in the 21st game of the St Lucia T10 Blast on Monday, May 10, at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet in St Lucia. 

ME are yet to lose a match in this tournament. They have played five games and won them all and are sitting at the top of the points table. On the other hand, VFNR have won one and lost two. They are languishing at No. 10 on the table.  

There will be some cloud cover, but no rain is predicted. The pitch has been even at this venue and the average score has been around the 92-run mark. 

VFNR v ME  Dream11 prediction

ME are unbeaten this season with three wins in as many games. VFNR haven’t found the momentum required to progress ahead thus far. Therefore, ME will be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. 

Top tip: Best batsmen

Tariq Gabriel of VFNR has already given 286 fantasy points in three games. Opening the batting, he has scored 55 runs and has also picked up 6 wickets till now. Perhaps the most important fantasy pick for this game. 

Mervin Wells has scored 137 runs in five games this season. He will open the batting and has given more than 230 fantasy points. He remains another key pick.

Top tip: Best bowlers

Lanse Sammy has been brilliant with the ball thus far. The ME bowler has picked up five wickets in only three games. In this form, it will be risky to drop this 35-year-old bowler.

Johann Williams from VFNR bowled a brilliant spell in the last game, picking two wickets in his full quota over two overs with an economy of just three. Remember, there are bonus points for impressive economy rates too.

Top tip: Best all-rounder and wicket-keeper

Joshua Mann of VFNR might not have scored runs with the willow, but has contributed with the ball, picking three wickets. He is also likely to bat higher up the order.

Gavin Serieux of ME Jr has scored 85 runs in five games batting at no.3. He has also taken three catches. Pick him ahead of Junior Peter. 

VFNR vs ME probable playing XI

ME probable XI: Garvin Serieux Jr (wicket-keeper), Murlan Sammy, Shervin Charles, Travis Gifford, Tarrique Edward, Darren Sammy Jr, Michaell Charlery, Shem Paul, Kuston Jules, Garvey Mitchell, Earvin Frederick

VFNR probable XI: Junior Peter (wicket-keeper), Chris Pamphile, Shawn Auguste, Tariq Gabriel, Shawn Straker, Al Prince, Kurt Edward, Ernell Sexius, Joshaun Mann, Curtly Johnny, Johann Williams
