BASINGSTOKE and North Hants have a must win game on Saturday when they travel to Southern League Division One leaders Calmore Sports in a top of the table clash.
Sports are unbeaten on home soil, but Bountymen skipper Mitch Stokes knows his side have to win to close the gap on the home side.
Stokes said: "This is a must win game for us and we cannot afford to lose any more points on them."
Both Max Harsham and Dean Nurse miss the trip, as George Metzger and Ashley Neal return.
Earlier in the season at May's Bounty, Basingstoke beat Calmore by 53 runs, so will be looking for their first double of the campaign.
They missed out on this last weekend as they lost at Ventnor by three wickets.
Stokes admitted dropped catches cost them dear and said: "We dropped three catches which cost us 80 runs. Also we were going well with 10 overs left, but then lost five wickets for four runs so were all out for 187, when we needed around 240."
