Pride are unchanged from their previous match, but Scorpions made one change, replacing Paul Palmer with Romaine Morris.

Pride broke a spell of three consecutive losses with a 173-run win over Windward Islands Volcanoes in their previous match last Thursday at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground (VRCG).

Scorpions also broke a sequence of three successive losses, when they beat Leeward Islands Hurricanes by six runs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method in their previous match the following day at the VRCG.
