Paterson said Tamworth would go into the match thinking it was must win.
He said: "We've got a very, very good batting lineup ... a few experienced players and a few good young players.
"It's a young bowling attack, but everyone's played first grade: been there a couple of years. So it's a good squad."
It's probably one of the strongest sides we've put on the field, I'd say.
- Jye Paterson
Paterson hopes Tamworth bat first and score a heap of runs and then the bowlers do their job.
"It's probably one of the strongest sides we've put on the field, I'd say," he said.
TAMWORTH: Jye Paterson (c), Brad Smith, Simon Norvill, Shawn Stevenson, Michael Rixon, Callum Henry, Scott Brennan, Brad Redshaw, Landan Price, Jack Hamilton, Brock Ridgewell, Josh Attard.
