Preview:
Vieux Fort North Raiders had a below-par season last year here in the St Lucia T10 Blast. They won 2 of their 4 games, but that was not enough to give them a place in the playoffs. This time around, their primary target will be to reach the players.
Their upcoming match is against the Central Castries Mindoo Heritage. The Castries are yet to play a game in this season, but they had a good time in the competition in the previous edition. Heritage finished third in that competition and will be aiming to go one step further this time around.
