Jamaica Tallawahs face St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in St Kitts on Wednesday (September 8, 2021). Both the sides are coming into this game after suffering a defeat in their last previous matches.
The Patriots might have lost a couple of matches in the tournament but they are still sitting at the helm of the points table with five wins under their belt from seven matches. Jamaica on the other side have lost four out of the six games that they have played so far.
Both the sides faced some struggle with their batting line up after the batters failed to leave a mark. The Tallawahs were bundled out for 92 while chasing 168 in 20 overs against the Trinbago Knight Riders.
Ali Khan ripped though the Jamaica batting line up and never let the batsmen take an upper hand during the chase.
The Patriots on the other side failed to put a big total on the board against Saint Lucia Kings and were bowled out for 118.
Though, the side did get a couple of early wickets including the scalp of Faf du Plessis who had thoroughly dominated the Patriots in the earlier fixture and in fact notched up a ton but didn’t capitalise on the start they got and stood at the losing end eventually.
Roston Chase chipped in with a valuable half-century to anchor the Kings to a win. The last time the two sides met each other, Patriots etched a win by 6 wickets while 167, sparing more than two overs. Well, the teams would now be looking to turn the fortunes for themselves.
