St Lucia Zouks v Jamaica Tallawahs – Match Preview

The Jamaica Tallawahs lost to the St Lucia Zouks twice in the CPL 2019. But in their first meeting of the 2020 tournament, the Tallawahs turned the result on the Zouks and won by five wickets.

Where: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad

When: Sunday, 6 September 2020

Start time: 18:15 GMT (23:45 IST)

Pitch conditions: The Brian Lara Stadium’s second set of CPL 2020 matches has served up pitches with extra bounce for the spinners. If the team batting first can push their total above 170, they should be the favourites for the rest of the match.

Weather conditions: There has been plenty of rain in Tarouba this week, but the forecast reckons there will be significantly less on Sunday. Hopefully, we’ll get in a full fixture. The temperature will again be in the early 30 degrees celsius and humidity levels high.

St Lucia Zouks v Jamaica Tallawahs – Team News

The Zouks would dearly like to see some big performances from local batsmen Mark Deyal and Leniko Boucher. Roston Chase certainly needs more support in the middle order.

Bowling-wise, there’s Scott Kuggeleijn and Kesrick Williams to lead the seamers again.

Chase’s role with the ball will become all the more important if fellow spinner Mohammad Nabi has left for Afghanistan before heading to India for the IPL.

Jamaica’s spin department is led by Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichhane. The former has been successful with the new ball, while the latter has entered the attack quite late.

Andre Russell and Carlos Brathwaite will be as important as seamers as they are as batsmen.

Asif Ali and Chadwick Walton will need to dig in, too, as there has been an overreliance on the fine form of Glenn Phillips.

St Lucia Zouks v Jamaica Tallawahs – Betting Tips and Prediction

Both teams head into this on the back of defeats but both have already done enough to land semi-final spots.

It is hard to split them but preference would be for the Tallawahs to take the victory given their more reliable top order and the form of Andre Russell lower down. Their price of 1.8 with bet365 looks appealing.

Don’t forget the other odds on offer for this one.

Openers to Shine for the Tallawahs

The Zouks have done well at times this campaign but remain a little soft at the top of the order.

Backing the Tallawahs to have the highest opening partnership looks a solid choice at 1.8 with bet365.

Jermaine Blackwood shifted up to open alongside Glenn Phillips in the previous match and it is a partnership that can begin to flourish if chosen once again.

Back Mujeeb to be Top Bowler for Jamaica

Mujeeb ur Rahman has been superb during the 2020 CPL and he can be the main man with the ball again.

The track in Tarouba will offer him more assistance and he can be his team’s top bowler.

His price of 3.50 with 10CRIC also looks appealing and slight value given his record so far.

Russell to Hit a Six

After a slow start to the tournament, Andre Russell has come to life in recent matches.

He has bludgeoned 50 against the Knight Riders before 54 against the Tridents. All involved some typical big-hitting.

Russell can be backed at 1.4 with 22Bet to hit a six in this clash.
