Tallawahs v Patriots – CPL Betting Tips, Latest Odds, Team News, Predictions – 03/09/2020

The Tallawahs can take a giant leap towards a top-four finish by dishing out defeat to basement boys St Kitts.

Progress from the group stages looks increasingly unlikely for a Patriots side that has failed to fire in the CPL 2020. They will be looking to give a better account of themselves here.

Jamaica Tallawahs v St Kitts and Nevis Patriots – Match Preview

The Tallawahs head into this on the back of defeat to unbeaten league leaders the Trinbago Knight Riders. That means they have now lost more than they have won this season, but are still holding onto fourth spot.

The previous meeting between these teams earlier this tournament saw the Tallawahs come away with a 37-run victory.

Where: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad

When: Thursday, 3 September 2020

Start time: 14:00 GMT (19:30 IST)

Pitch conditions: A return to the Brian Lara Stadium should mean a few higher scoring contests are on the cards. However, this is still likely to be a slower wicket with spin attacks to play a key role, as they did at the start of the group stages.

Weather conditions: Storms are forecast for this day, so there could a be a rain delay and a reduced contest. Humidity levels are again likely to be high.

The Tallawahs now have Andre Russell back following injury to strengthen their batting.

Glenn Phillips looks in good form at the moment and another fine start from him will Bay the foundation for others to shine. That said, Jamaica will be looking for a little more support for Phillips from Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood or Asif Ali.

Their spin attack has looked solid this season, with Afghan star Mujeeb ur Rahman a particular highlight.

For St Kitts, they have been far too reliant on Evin Lewis for their runs this tournament. That was highlighted further when he missed the last game between these two.

Kieron Powell opened next to Lewis against Guyana, but was quickly replaced by returning Australian Chris Lynn against Trinbago.

Joshua Da Silva is now back in the mix and Alzarri Joseph and Sheldon Cottrell also made a rare start together in the last game.

It all points to St Kitts struggling to hit on the right formula this campaign, so don’t be surprised to see more tinkering ahead of this.

The Tallawahs have everything to play for still and that could be the difference here.

St Kitts are running out of time to salvage their season and Jamaica look too strong for them.

There is more to bet on than the outright winner. We will also bring you the best bets and odds for other markets too.

Here are our key CPL betting tips for this match.

Bet on Rahman and Rayad to Take 2+ Wickets Each

Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rayad Emrit have been in fine CPL 2020 form for Jamaica and St Kitts, respectively. Rahman has enjoyed success in opening the bowling. The addition of the captaincy hasn’t really limited Emrit’s primary role with the ball.

We are still big fans of 22Bet’s accumulator outcomes and this time they’ve got to Mujeeb and Emrit to take at least two wickets each priced at 3.5. This could bring good value.

Choose Dunk to Top Score for St Kitts and Nevis

The Patriot’s Australian batsmen Chris Lynn and Ben Dunk haven’t been doing that well this CPL season. Lynn has been particularly disappointing. Both have the opportunity to bounce back, but especially Dunk.

Batting in the middle order, when the field is spread a bit more, he can milk the bowling before employing his power hitting. LeoVegas have priced Dunk at 5.0 to be the Patriots’ top batsman this time.

Place a Bet on a Century to be Scored

It’s another longshot, but we’ve been right before. Nicholas Pooran has a CPL 2020 century and Lendl Simmons almost hit one recently.

We’re backing another ton to be scored here, particularly if the batsmen can dominate the extra bounce from the spinners. It doesn’t matter who tons up, as long as someone does in Dafabet India’s bet that a century will be scored in this match at 9.2.
