Caribbean Premier League 2020: Match 25, Jamaica Tallawahs vs St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details

The 25th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2020 will be played between the Jamaica Tallawahs and St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Brian Lara Stadium, Trinidad on 3rd September 2020. The match can be viewed live on the Star Sports Network at 7:30 PM IST.

Preview

This is a very important match for the Jamaica Tallawahs as a win here would almost guarantee their qualification. They are in a close tussle with Barbados Tridents who have played a game more than Jamaica Tallawahs. JT are on 6 points while BT are on 4 points. A loss here would mean that Jamaica would need to win 2 out of their remaining games for a sure-shot qualification while BT would need to win their remaining two games by a good margin. This is an important match in the context of the playoffs.

St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots haven’t had much going their way this season and are well on their way for a wooden spoon unless in a tragic turn of events they manage to win their last two games while BT manages to do the exact opposite. With nothing much to play for, the pride of St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots is on the line and they would like to see themselves give a fight. Their qualification hopes are dusted now.
