Teams Status

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

After a highflying start that saw the Patriots win each of their first five games, they have been brought down to earth a bit, thanks to two back-to-back defeats on back-to-back nights against the same opponents: St Lucia Kings.

The twin defeats were both by big margins and that has seen the Patriots’ net run rate take a big enough hit to send it into negative territory. That said, their quintet of wins had still given them a big enough lead that they still lead the league by a margin of two points.

It is bit of a mystery though that why the Patriots went from being unbeaten to a side whose every department malfunctioned in consecutive games. Bowling, batting and fielding – neither clicked, resulting in two of the heaviest defeats of the tournament.

Dwayne Bravo and company now have to make sure that the dip is sorted right away and does not become anything more.

Jamaica Tallawahs

The tale of Tallawahs’ recent run is not so dissimilar to the Patriots’. In fact, it is worse. Where the Patriots have lost two in two, the Tallawahs are on a three-match losing streak that has seen them slip to second-last on the points table.

Both their latest defeats were against defending campions Trinbago Knight Riders while the one before had come at the hands of none other than the Patriots, whom they face again tonight in this fixture.

Jamaica’s problem over the past two games has been the complete no show of their top and middle-order batsmen. However, their batsmen did perform admirably against the Patriots two matches ago but then their bowlers were not able to defend the decent 166-run total.

Pakistan’s Haider Ali has been in horrific form over this sequence, contributing just 11 runs over three matches. His spot in the side should be under question.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to win @ 1.822

Of the two teams, we have more faith in the ability of the Patriots to bounce back. Yes, they have flopped of late but they at least have the tools to nip the blip in the bud. We do not have the same confidence in Jamaica’s ability. Therefore, the play here is to back the Patriots to win at odds of 1.822 with 22Bet.

Tip: Chris Gayle Total Runs Over (20.5) @ 1.832

The man nicknamed the Universe Boss is due a big innings. He hasn’t had one so far in this CPL. The weak and meek nature of Jamaica’s bowling means that this could be the match Gayle dazzles. The play can be found on 22Bet.

Conclusion

Jamaica have beaten St Kitts just once in their last five meetings, which is another reason for us to like the latter even more in this fixture. Barring an upset, Gayle’s side should come out on top.
