Batsman: Evin Lewis (10 credits)

Even if Lewis hasn't been two too impressive for the Windies so far, the southpaw has nearly replaced Chris Gayle with his impact at the top in domestic circuit. In these leagues, Lewis is a dangerous proposition and a pretty handy captaincy candidate too.

All-rounder: Fabian Allen (8.5 credits)

While being restrictive is Allen's USP, in this season the left-arm spinner and all-rounder has racked up fantasy points for fun. We have picked out of left-field this game and gone with Allen as our captain hoping his impact will multiply on a slow surface. 

Bowler: Harry Gurney (9 credits)

He is still a relative unknown in the Caribbean but Gurney's T20 credentials are unquestionably good. The left-arm pacer will add a completely different dimension to the Tridents' attack and is a fantastic pick even if he has only started out this season.

Captaincy options: Fabian Allen, JP Duminy, Johnson Charles
