SNP vs JT Match Preview
The Jamaican team is the defending champion in this year's CPL. They have now stretched their record to 4 victories in a row after defeating the team of St Lucia Kings in their first game of the competition by a margin of 11 runs. The Jamaican team was bowled out for a score of 187 runs from their quota of 20 overs. The top run-getter for Jamaica was Brandon King who hit 81 runs from 53 balls. The Kings' side fell surprisingly short during their chase. They ended up their chase on 176 for 8 in 20 overs.
Imad Wasim returned with the best figures of 3 for 27 in the side. The good form displayed by Imad Wasim with the ball is big good news for the Tallawahs. Chris Green on the other hand has been in excellent form with the ball. The left-arm spin of Imad Wasim will be a huge value addition for Jamaica in this match-up as well. Several batters made a decent start to their innings but none of them went on to make a big score like Brandon King. King hit 9 fours and 3 sixes during his effort.

Dream11 Prediction
Jamaica Tallawahs is more likely to win this game. They have already registered a win in the competition while their opponents Patriots have not played a full game yet. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have no longer the services of Dwayne Bravo available to them. His absence might be felt badly especially with the ball. Although the Jamaicans have the in-form batter Brandon King at the helm, the line-up does not appear to be imposing. But they have a good balance in their team which makes them one of the favorites to win the title.
