Kimani Melius smashed a 32-ball hundred in Cannon Blasters’ first game and in the last game, he played three deliveries which resulted in a four, a six and his dismissal. Dornan Edwards and Tarryck Gabriel have shown great promise with the bat as well, which could come in handy for the Blasters.

Alex Joseph chipped in with a decent 31-ball 44 in their last game. Skipper Caleb Thomas is well capable of picking wickets and should be one of the first choices from the Leatherbacks unit. Among the bowling options, Dornan Edward picked up two wickets in the tournament while Dalton Polius impressed with a 3/13 in 2 overs in his last outing.
