SLK vs JT Team Previews

St Lucia Kings

The St Lucia Kings will be led by Sikandar Raza in this match-up. The side will be keen to put behind a terrible performance in their last game with both bat and ball. They were bowled out for a score of 79 runs but they will have to pull up their socks if they are to win this do-or-die game. It is going to be a difficult task to put one across the Jamaica Tallawahs side. The team management will be expecting a determined effort from his compatriots. The top order of St Lucia Kings will be in the hands of batters such as Johnson Charles and Colin Munro.

St Lucia Kings are going to need a good showing from their top order. Another crucial player for them is Bhanuka Rajapaksa. He has plenty of experience in these kinds of games and will be looking to do well in middle overs with Sean Williams and Raza. SLK will also be expecting a good showing from the lower middle order in the form of Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, and Roshon Primus. The Kings' bowling attack will also be required to get their act together after their poor showing in the last match.

Jamaica Tallawahs

The Jamaican skipper Brandon King was rested for the last match. But he will be happy with the efforts put in by his players in their last match.

The skipper will expect his team members to continue all their good work and build momentum for this game. They will be looking to reach the next stage of the competition with a big victory in this game.

Alex Hales was in prime form with the bat in his last match. He hit an electrifying hundred to take the team score past the 200-run mark. He will be keen to provide another good start to the Jamaican innings with Brandon King. The Jamaican team will require a good showing from players such as Steven Taylor, Imad Wasim, and Shamarh Brooks in their middle order. This side has a lot of depth in their line-up and they can expect some useful contributions even from the likes of Chris Green, Raymond Reifer, and Fabien Allen. Alex Hales was adjudged player of the match for his brilliant hundred.

The Jamaican bowlers did a fab job in their last match. Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir bowled superbly with the new ball in hand and they will be looking to repeat this same magic in this fixture as well.

The Jamaican team management will also be expecting some good contributions from the likes of Hayden Walsh and Shamar Springer.

SLK vs JT Toss Prediction

We have seen both the last games played in CPL 2023 to have been won by the team batting first and these were big victories. The pitch slows down when we enter the second half of the match. This makes the run-chases tough for the teams batting second. So, the skipper winning the toss will be looking to take advantage of the ground conditions by batting 1st on this track.

Pitch and Conditions

This game will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. It is certainly one of the better T20 wickets in the Caribbean. The surface will offer help for both bowlers and batters. The speedsters can bowl quickly on the surface to extract pace and bounce from it. But this advantage is countered by shorter boundaries. Spinners will also get their opportunities to do well, especially in the second half of the game. Generally speaking, this appears to be a good surface to bat on and the batters can play their strokes freely. Any team batting first will have to score 180 runs to feel safe here. It is expected that we will get clear skies over the island of Guyana on 20th September.
