CPL 2020 Match 15: SLZ vs SKN Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SKN vs SLZ Dream11 Prediction Today 27 August 2020 | St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs St. Lucia Zouks Key Players | Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report

The 15th match of CPL 2020 is a crucial one. One team is looking to cement their top two spot, while the other is looking to build momentum as they seek a top four spot.

St. Kitts Nevis and Patriots finally got on the board in CPL 2020, with an excellent chase of 152 vs Barbados Tridents. SKNP’s strategy revolves around at least one of their openers performing well, and it was Evin Lewis who delivered in spades, striking a superb 89 off 60 balls to form the backbone of the chase. In addition, SKNP’s bowlers were all in the wickets against the Tridents, and if they can put on another big effort today, a consecutive victory may await.

St. Lucia Zouks lost a rain-affected game against TKR yesterday, and will be looking to bounce back after a shaky batting display. They beat SKNP earlier this season by 10 runs, courtesy of Andre Fletcher, Mohammad Nabi, Roston Chase and Scott Kuggeleijn all making key contributions. SLZ have the chance now to further cement their top two spot given the inconsistency of the teams below them, and will be out for a big performance.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

  • Evin Lewis is the second-highest run-scorer in CPL 2020 (160). His 89 off 60 balls led the way last game, and has the most runs in SKN-SLZ matches (292, avg. 32.44, SR 164.04).
  • Andre Fletcher is next with 280 runs (avg. 31.11, SR 133.33). Fletcher was one of SLZ’s star performers vs SKN earlier this season (46 off 33 balls).
  • Mohammad Nabi has been in fine touch in his past three games, which includes a man of the match display vs SKN. He has scored 35* (22), 27 (24) and 30* (22) in his past three knocks, along with three wickets (1/17, 1/17 and 1/15).
  • Roston Chase has been superb this season. He failed yesterday (7 off 9 balls), but he can never be discounted. He has scored 129 runs with two fifties and taken five wickets at an economy rate of 4.80 in four matches.
  • Scott Kuggeleijn has been displaced at the top of the wicket-taking chart by Mujeeb ur Rahman. However, Kuggeleijn has performed brilliantly this season with 10 wickets in five matches. He took 4/33 vs SKN earlier this season.
  • Rayad Emrit (seven wickets in five matches in CPL 2020) will have a key role to play for SKN. He took 1/14 in four overs, including a maiden, vs SLZ earlier this season.
  • Also, Sohail Tanvir has a key role to play for SKN. The left-armer has five wickets in three games in CPL 2020.
  • Denesh Ramdin averages 46.00 vs SLZ. He scored 46 (35) vs the Zouks earlier in CPL 2020.
  • Jon-Russ Jaggesar has been a good performer for SKN with his variations. He has taken four wickets in his past two games, including 2/29 vs Zouks.
  • Kesrick Williams has taken seven wickets in five games in CPL 2020. Williams is always one to watch, as he boasts an excellent T20 record: 123 wickets in 92 matches.

Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report and Conditions

There is a chance of some rain once again in Trinidad, which means that chasing is likely to be preferred. The Queen’s Park Oval track has assistance for the spinners, with turn and some uneven bounce. The average first innings score on this ground in CPL 2020 is 129.5 (run rate 6.72). The chasing team has won three of the four matches so far.

Match Prediction

This has the makings of a close one. St. Kitts Nevis and Patriots have the confidence of a win, while St. Lucia Zouks continue to play well as a team, led by their all-rounders. The Zouks start as favourites, and will benefit greatly if they can remove the Patriots’ openers early.
