CPL 2020 Match 25: SKN vs JT Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | JAM vs SKN Dream11 Prediction Today September 3 2020 | St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots vs Jamaica Tallawahs Key Players | Tarouba Pitch Report
Jamaica Tallawahs will take on St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the 25th game of CPL 2020 at The Brian Lara Stadium. Jamaica are in 4th position with three wins in seven games while the Patriots are at the bottom with only one win in eight games.
Jamaica Tallawahs have a very strong squad but they have performed very inconsistently in the tournament till now. Players like Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sandeep Lamichhane, Glenn Phillips and Andre Russell have shown some consistency and performed well. They are a batting-heavy side and this game can be a good chance for players like Chadwick Walton, skipper Rovman Powell and few others to get back in form in their quest for the playoffs, as their bowling has been top notch this season, performing well in most of the games.
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots have failed to perform as a team this season. Their batting fails when their bowling clicks and vice-versa. Over dependency on the openers and lack of batting depth is the main reason for their miserable campaign so far. They’ll play this game for pride and would want to win it to have some joy in a tough season.

Tarouba Pitch and Weather Report
The pitch in this leg of the CPL at The Brian Lara stadium has something for everyone. It has some good bounce that helps the batters if they bat well. It has turned from day one, so spinners have the chance to be very effective, too.
Once again, there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms throughout the day.

Match Prediction
Jamaica are looking very strong against the Patriots. Patriots need a supreme effort from their batters against the strong bowling of Jamaica to be victorious against them. Their current form is just opposite of that. We can expect Jamaica to register an easy win but the Patriots will play for pride and can play with freedom.
