SKN vs JAM: Team Previews
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’ both fixtures in Gros Islet were washed out owing to ceaseless rains at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground. Last year, they failed to reach the playoffs in their title-defence campaign, securing just three wins from their 10 matches. In head-to-head battles against Jamaica Tallawahs, the Patriots have emerged victorious six times in their past 10 meetings.
Jamaica Tallawahs
Defending champions Jamaica Tallawahs won their opening match of the season against Phase 1 hosts St Lucia Kings by 11 runs. Their next fixture against Barbados Royals was abandoned without a ball being bowled, thus allowing them to finish the St Lucia leg of the tournament at number two on the points table.

SKN vs JAM: Warner Park, St Kitts Pitch Report
The Warner Park Stadium provides much assistance to pacers, especially with the new ball up front. However, batters can come to their own upon tackling the new-ball threat, as the average first innings total at the venue across all 80 matches has been a competitive 160. Captain winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first, considering chasing sides have won 56 per cent of the matches here.
