Mashonaland

G Eaton
M Ul-Haq
V Waragoda
G Burns
SD Malik
R Arnold
B Rogers
Q Carver
S Mushtaq
J Barnwell
W Khan

Captain: V Waragoda
Keeper: Q Carver

Same team that beat ND, only slightly re-arranged, and with Barnwell in for Ramanayake after he only took 5 wickets in his last four innings. The importance of this game and the following two can not be stressed enough, with both Mashonaland and ND obviously desperate to avoid a chance at relegation.

J Jenkins

AB de Villiers
Y Satti

R Perrera
D London

Captain: M Jayawardne
Keeper: AB de Villiers

A win here will all but give us the division title. We crushed ND in our recent One day match up, revenge for the tie in round 3. We know they'll be fired up, as they don't want to be relegated, so we will be going in all guns blazing.

I've given up on the idea of giving my OD players FC experience as well, and am now playing my full strength (but still rubbish) 4D team. Hopefully I get a win.

Northern Districts

1 S Fleming
2 A Holland
3 B Perera
4 G Smith (captain)
5 G Gow
6 R Warner
7 L Reddy (keeper)
8 R Herath
9 A Swinburn
10 Z Saeed
11 H Lacey

We've strengthened the bowling with Herath getting his first game of the season, under performing batsman B Hussain has been dropped meaning his wcc career may well be over. Even if we dont win this we do need to get some bonus points as we are currently equal in 4th spot with Mashonaland, we really hope they get thrashed...

Leicestershire

A Brindell
C Brown
R Kingsley
J Wilkes
R McKenzie
I Underwood
R Piggott (c)
S Manjrekar (wk)
A Adams
T Priyadarshana
I Gallage

Adams into the side replacing Bradshaw. Really hoping to defeat Mashonaland here and by plenty to give us the best possible chance of making the top 2 but also taking the possibility of still finishing 5th or worse because of the hard last 2 rounds against Guyana and Free State. Nevertheless a win here is vital and the more players that show what they are capable of will certainly help in deciding their fate come end of season.
