Predicted Playing XIs

Saint Lucia Kings

Skipper Faf du Plessis and Andre Fletcher need to take responsibility at the top of the order. They have failed to be consistent this CPL. Roston Chase has been in ominous form as he is having a dream run in this edition of the CPL. He will be expected to continue his stellar form. Tim David, being amongst the runs last time around, comes as a positive for the Kings.

Wahab Riaz and Jeavor Royal did well in the previous game, picking up two wickets each. Kesrick Williams has been amongst the wickets as well and with Obed McCoy and Samit Patel in their ranks, their bowling looks in decent shape. They might look to bring in the likes of Cornwall, Mark Deyal and Alzarri Joseph as this is a crucial clash for them.

Predicted XI: Faf du Plessis (c), Rahkeem Cornwall, Andre Fletcher (wk), Roston Chase, Mark Deyal, Tim David, Keemo Paul, Samit Patel, Wahab Riaz, Kesrick Williams, Alzarri Joseph.

Jamaica Tallawahs

Kennar Lewis and Kirk McKenzie got good starts last time but need to convert them into big scores. Their opening combination has been a major issue this season of the CPL and they will have to sort it out soon. Shamarh Brooks (43) and skipper Rovman Powell (37) did well and will have to continue to perform. In Carlos Brathwaite and Andre Russell, they have strong finishers.

Migael Pretorius (3), Veerasammy Permaul (2) led the bowling against the Patriots. With Imad Wasim, Chris Green, and Russell in their ranks, the bowling is well-balanced.

Predicted XI: Rovman Powell (c), Kennar Lewis (wk), Kirk McKenzie, Haider Ali, Shamarh Brooks, Carlos Brathwaite, Andre Russell, Imad Wasim, Migael Pretorius, Chris Green, Veerasammy Permaul.

Match Prediction

Both teams have lacked consistency this CPL, however, Jamaica comprise a stronger batting line-up that goes deep. The Kings have struggled with their batting with the exception of Roston Chase, who has scored regularly. The Tallawahs bowling is also clicking well and this gives them an advantage over Saint Lucia Kings in the CPL.
