Pre-Match Analysis:

The Saffron Strikers’ journey began incredibly, beating the Clove Challengers and Cinnamon Pacers in their first two matches. However, things declined for the Strikers, who managed only one win in their next six appearances. The batters often failed to rise to the occasion and struggled to make an impact, while the bowling also lacked consistency, contributing to their dismal performance later in the season. By the end of the league campaign, they finished fifth in the standings with six points.

Shian Brathwaite was the standout batter, scoring 160 runs in 7 innings. Meanwhile, Othneil Lewis, Nelon Pascal, and Kem Charles performed well with the ball, each taking 8 wickets.
