CPL 2021, Match 21: SKN vs JAM Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

Table-toppers St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will square off against Jamaica Tallawahs for the second time in this competition. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots came out on top, beating Jamaica 6 wickets in their previous meeting. There is a concern in the Nevis Patriots camp, as they lost two of their previous matches against St Lucia Kings. Both the losses were humbling in terms of margin. That being said, they still are placed at the top spot in the standings with 10 points.

Jamaica Tallawahs’ situation isn’t different either. They too are heading into this match on the back of 3 consecutive losses. Their last win was against Barbados Royals by 6 wickets, and that was only their second win in this year’s CPL. They placed at fifth spot in the standings with 4 points.
