Preview:

Jamaica Tallawahs made an interesting start to their season as they fell 22 runs short in a big chase against Trinbago Knight Riders in their first game. Later against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, the Tallawahs posted the highest CPL total with help of Chris Gayle’s hundred. However, the fun didn’t last even two hours as the Patriots chased down the target with seven balls to spare.

They will be playing as many as five matches in the next eight days all at their home venue, the Sabina Park in Kingston. Their first home game will be against the St Lucia Zouks, who are also looking for their maiden win of the season. The St Lucia team fell 13 runs short of Guyana Amazon Warriors’ target in their first game. Against the defending champions TKR, their total of 167/5 was too less for a win.
