CPL 2021 | JT vs TKR: Champion sides seek turn around in contest of underachievers

OneCricket

The contest between the Jamaica Tallawahs and the Trinbago Knight Riders will be a contest of underachievers of the ongoing edition of the Caribbean Premier League.

The fortunes of the sides seem to be similar but it is starker for the defending champions the Knight Riders, who have had a remarkable unbeaten run in the last edition of the tournament.

None of the sides lack match-winners but have had a mixed bag so far this season and will be eager to put everything behind in a big game.

The sides are placed at the fourth and fifth position on the points table of a six-team competition. 

The Tallawhas in particular rely a lot on their heavyweights and they have failed to perform the heavy-duty for the two-time CPL champions.

The Knight Riders will have to pull up their socks in the game against the Tallawahs as few more losses will put them under enormous pressure to remain in the game.

CPL 2021 | SKNP vs SLK: Patriots look for equaliser, Kings seek to continue momentum

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will be up against Saint Lucia Kings in the reverse fixture in St Kitts. The Patriots have been in some terrific form in this edition of the CPL and had won all their matches before meeting the Kings in the previous encounter. The Saint Lucia side thumped Patriots after captain Faf du Plessis who had struggled with form in this competition chipped in with an unbeaten 60-ball 120 that included five maximums and helped his side post a mammoth 224/2 in 20 overs. Later, the Saint Lucia bowlers dominated the Patriots batting and bundled them out for 124 to register a win by 100 runs. Nevertheless, the Patriots are still sitting at the helm of the points table and would be looking for an equaliser against the Kings. The Faf du Plessis-led Saint Lucia team would now be looking to continue with the momentum that they have got after the dominating win especially against the side who had been in brilliant touch. Patriots might have to make a forced change as their regular skipper Dwayne Bravo suffered from groin strain.
