Colts have recorded several dominant victories this season, though the Twenty20s will offer a different challenge.
Colts opening batsman Henry Shoemark, who is coming off some solid results in the recent rounds, is confident the side has the skills to perform well in the Twenty20s.
“Our bowling and fielding has been very good this season. I don’t think we will have to change anything from the past rounds in order to perform at a high level. We are always good with the bat as well,” Shoemark said.

Shoemark, who is known as a big hitter, having hit numerous boundaries and sixes this season and in his career, knows it is crucial to score runs at the start of the innings.
“I’d like to get off to a quick start in the innings. For me, the first six overs are key. Getting plenty of runs at the start will get the total off to a good start,” he said.
The City Colts line-up features plenty of talented players, including Jaden Ekert, who is the top scorer this season for the entire competition. He has scored 188 runs so far, including 28 boundaries, seven sixes and a century in round one.
With the ball, David Henderson will be tough to face, having taken 10 wickets this season, including 3-7 off eight in round five.
