CPL 2021 Match 21: SKN vs JAM Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SKN vs JAM Dream11 Prediction Today | Jamaica Tallawahs vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Key Players | St Kitts Pitch Report

Two sides in need of victory, for different reasons. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, after five consecutive victories, have hit a wall after two heavy defeats to St. Lucia Kings. Jamaica Tallawahs sit outside the top four, and are smarting from their own comprehensive defeat after being rolled for just 92 at the hands of champions Trinbago Knight Riders.

St Kitts’ batting was particularly poor in the last two games, as their middle order wasn’t able to rescue things after more poor top order batting. Evin Lewis and Devon Thomas have shown some good glimpses, while Chris Gayle continues to be out of the runs. With Sherfane Rutherford and Fabian Allen in form down the order, the Patriots need a solid platform from their top order to bounce back into some form.

Jamaica are in a similar boat. They have less than 24 hours to turn things around after a heavy defeat yesterday, and need to do so as they are at risk of missing out on the playoffs. Their powerplay batting has been abysmal, losing a total of nine wickets in this stage across their last two games (15/5 and 28/4 vs TKR), and need to improve on this today to ensure the likes of Andre Russell and Carlos Brathwaite have the chance to launch at the backend.

Crucial game. Who will hold their nerve?

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:

  • Evin Lewis will be crucial at the top of the order. The left-hander has the most runs of any Patriots player vs Jamaica, with 375 runs at an average of 28.85 and strike rate of 168.16.
  • Also, Lewis has scored the second-most runs in CPL 2021 (236 runs, avg. 33.71, SR 147.50), including 39 (27) vs Jamaica earlier this season.
  • Fabian Allen has an extraordinary batting record for St Kitts against Jamaica. In four innings against them, he has slammed 152 runs at an unbelievable strike rate of 237.50, including 30* off 12 balls earlier this season. He also has four wickets for Patriots vs Tallawahs.
  • Sherfane Rutherford was player of the match vs Tallawahs earlier this season (50* off 26 balls). He overcame a poor record previously vs Jamaica to make a fine fifty that day. Can he repeat it after a few low scores in CPL 2021?
  • Sheldon Cottrell, if available, will be key. He has 11 wickets in nine matches vs Jamaica, including 1/28 earlier this season.
  • Paul van Meekeren had a fine outing against Tallawahs earlier this season, taking 2/27 in an economical spell.

Jamaica Tallawahs:

  • Rovman Powell has the most runs of any current Tallawahs player vs Patriots. His 256 runs come at an average of 28.44 and strike rate of 152.38.
  • Powell, however, is enduring a poor CPL 2021 campaign to date. He has scored just 96 runs in six matches at an average of 16.00. The skipper needs to step up in a time of need today.
  • Can Andre Russell turn around a poor batting record vs Patriots? He has scored just 130 runs in 10 innings against them at an average of 18.57 and strike rate of 135.42. He has eight wickets in nine matches against them.
  • Kennar Lewis has scored the most runs of any Jamaica player so far in CPL 2021. However, of his 167 runs, 89 of them were scored in one innings, so the Tallawahs will be hoping today is his day.
  • Carlos Brathwaite looked good in his 16-ball 27 against St. Kitts earlier this season. Also, Brathwaite has returned to the bowling crease and took a wicket yesterday. He also took 3/11 in his only outing vs St. Kitts to date.
  • Imad Wasim has enjoyed a good start to his CPL 2021 campaign with the bat and ball (42, 11 and 2/19, 1/13).
  • Migael Pretorius remains a wicket-taking threat despite an expensive last two outings. He has the most wickets for the Tallawahs this season (12 in six matches).

Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 14, JAM 6, SKN 7, 1 N/R.
  • St Kitts beat Jamaica by six wickets earlier this season, with Rutherford (50* off 26 balls) and Fabian Allen (30* off 12 balls) ensuring a very comfortable chase.
  • St Kitts sit top of the CPL 2021 table with a net run rate of -0.548. Jamaica sit in fifth with a net run rate of 0.060.

Jamaica Tallawahs: 1. Kennar Lewis (wk), 2. Haider Ali, 3. Shamarh Brooks, 4. Jason Mohammed, 5. Rovman Powell (c), 6. Carlos Brathwaite, 7. Andre Russell, 8. Imad Wasim, 9. Migael Pretorius, 10. Chris Green, 11. Veersammy Permaul

Warner Park Basseterre St Kitts Pitch Report and Weather

The team batting first won both games yesterday on a surface that offered something for bowlers and batsmen. There was bounce and spin available for the bowlers, while the ball came on relatively nicely for the batsmen.

The forecast is warm and clear conditions.

BAN vs NZ 4th T20 Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | BAN vs NZ 4th T20 Dream11 Prediction Today | Bangladesh vs New Zealand 4th T20I Key Players | Dhaka Pitch Report

This series, which threatened to be one-sided after Bangladesh rolled New Zealand for 60, has taken an interesting turn. After a competitive showing in the second T20I, an inexperienced Black Caps side then returned serve to knock Bangladesh over for 76 and keep the series alive in the process.

The way New Zealand have adjusted to these conditions is cause for optimism from their perspective. Such conditions bring their spinners into the game, and the Bangladeshi batsmen have struggled for fluency across these three matches, which adds another little narrative to the Black Caps’ quest for an extraordinary series win.

Bangladesh remain favourites, but need an improvement. It is difficult to get a gauge on their T20 game given the conditions in Bangladesh will be different to Oman and UAE. However, confidence is key, and they will want to enter the T20 World Cup on the back of a comprehensive series victory over this inexperienced New Zealand team.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Bangladesh:

  • Shakib Al Hasan’s shot selection is in focus. He has been dismissed in poor fashion in the past two matches, and his team needs him to lead the way. His duck in the last game was his first single-digit score in his last eight T20Is on challenging pitches (36, 26, 26, 15, 11, 25, 12, 0).
  • Shakib also went wicketless on Sunday. The last time he went wicketless (0/50 vs Australia), Shakib then bounced back to take 4/9 in the next game.
  • Mohammad Naim has made four double-figure scores in his last five innings, with a top score of 39 in this period. Bangladesh will be hoping he can make another start and this time cross the 50 mark.
  • Mahmudullah produced a player of the match performance two games ago, and Bangladesh will be hoping their captain can produce a good display here. No player has more T20I runs on this ground than Mahmudullah (28 inns, 622 runs, avg. 41.46, SR 124.15).
  • New Zealand have dealt with Mustafizur Rahman in decent fashion since he took three wickets in the first T20I. The Fizz has taken just 1/63 combined in the last two matches, and will be looking for a big performance. He has 92 wickets in 66 T20s on this ground.
  • Mahedi Hasan has gone wicketless just twice in his last nine T20Is.

New Zealand:

  • Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls will be key once again thanks to their international experience and ability to play spin well. Latham was out cheaply in the third T20I (5), but sent a reminder of his ability in the second match (65*). Nicholls is coming off a 29-ball 36* in the last match.
  • Finn Allen looked threatening with three fours in the last match, only to give his wicket away. Will Young (half-century vs Bangladesh earlier this year and 20 in the last game) will also be looking to build on Sunday’s performance.
  • Rachin Ravindra has taken five wickets this series at an economy rate of just 4.66. He will also be looking to build on his start in the third T20I (20 off 20 balls).
  • Ajaz Patel was player of the match in a dominant display in the third T20I. His 4/16 completely dismanted Bangladesh, and took him to top of the wicket-taking chart this series (six wickets, econ. 3.58). He will be key again.
  • Cole McConchie has conceded runs at just 4.83 runs per over in this series. He is coming off a fine spell of 3/15 in the last match, where Bangladesh couldn’t get a hold of him.

Stats and Facts

  • Bangladesh have the opportunity to win their third-straight T20I series. They have never achieved this before.
  • All five of Bangladesh’s lowest T20I scores have come against New Zealand, including two scores of 76 this year.
  • Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell put on a stand of 66 runs in the third T20I, which is the highest sixth-wicket partnership for New Zealand against Bangladesh.
  • Liton Das has made starts in this series, and will be looking to play more sensibly in this clash. “If I could have done the same in the third game – be a little more sensible – it might have been easy for us. I will try to play a bigger innings at my next opportunity,” said Liton.

Possible Playing 11

Bangladesh are likely to stick with the same XI despite the defeat, unless the look to play left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam. They could send Shakib back up to three – the position he is most comfortable in.

Bangladesh: 1. Mohammad Naim, 2. Liton Das, 3. Shakib Al Hasan, 4. Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Mahmudullah (c), 6 Nurul Hasan (wk), 7 Afif Hossain, 8 Mahedi Hasan, 9 Mohammad Saifuddin, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Nasum Ahmed

New Zealand could look to go in with the same XI, depending on Scott Kuggeleijn’s fitness.

New Zealand: 1. Rachin Ravindra, 2. Finn Allen, 3. Will Young, 4. Tom Latham (c & wk), 5. Colin de Grandhomme, 6. Henry Nicholls, 7. Tom Blundell, 8. Cole McConchie, 9. Ajaz Patel, 10. Scott Kuggeleijn, 11. Jacob Duffy

Shere Bangla Stadium Mirpur Dhaka Pitch Report and Weather

More slow, low conditions and turn for the spinners is on the menu. The team batting first has won eight of the last 11 matches on this ground, including the last two in this series. Any score in the region of 130 will be tough to chase.

There is a chance of rain falling throughout the match.

CPL 2021 Match 19: JAM vs TKR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | JAM vs TKR Dream11 Prediction Today | Jamaica Tallawahs vs Trinbago Knight Riders Key Players | St Kitts Pitch Report

After a day’s break, the two teams who played the last match of CPL 2021 will do battle again.

In the end, it was a miracle that Jamaica Tallawahs made a game of it after an awful display in the batting powerplay. Sitting precariously at 15/5 after six overs, the Tallawahs, courtesy of Carlos Brathwaite and Imad Wasim, stitched together a fine partnership to help Jamaica post a barely threatening but defendable 144/7. However, their fielding was then a major let down in what was a performance representative of their season to date: inconsistent.

Lendl Simmons then led the way with Colin Munro to keep Trinbago Knight Riders in the top four. After enjoying some luck courtesy of Chris Green’s drop on the boundary, Simmons then produced the kind of form he showed at the backend of CPL 2020 en route to 70 off 45 balls.

So, can Jamaica bounce back after such a flat display? They will need to do as they currently sit fifth, with matches to come thick and fast. Crucial match.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Jamaica Tallawahs:

  • Jamaica need to set their innings up in such a way that Andre Russell plays the maximum number of deliveries possible. Russell has an outstanding record against TKR, with 587 runs at an average of 53.36 and strike rate of 190.58. He scored 20* off eight balls two days ago.
  • Russell also has 20 wickets in 15 matches vs TKR. Key player.
  • Kennar Lewis has an important role to play in setting up the innings. He is Jamaica’s leading run-scorer in CPL 2021 (5 inns, 160 runs, avg. 32.00, SR 172.04). He will be looking to bounce back after a duck in the last match.
  • Carlos Brathwaite has been in some decent batting form, with three consecutive 25+ scores including a half-century under pressure two days ago. He has a total of 337 runs vs TKR at an average of 25.92 and strike rate of 140.
  • Imad Wasim will be aiming to replicate his fine all-round performance from two days ago (42 and 2/19). He now has nine wickets in seven matches vs TKR.
  • Migael Pretorius is Jamaica’s leading wicket-taker in CPL 2021 with 11 scalps in five matches.

Trinbago Knight Riders:

  • Lendl Simmons loves batting against his former team. After his 45-ball 70 on Sunday, Simmons now has 246 runs for TKR vs Tallawahs at an average of 49.20 and strike rate of 144.71.
  • No TKR player has more runs vs Jamaica than Colin Munro. After his 34 two days ago, the left-hander now has 549 runs against them at an average of 61.00 and strike rate of 138.64. He put on a 100-run partnership with Simmons on Sunday.
  • Darren Bravo returned to the TKR team on Sunday and he plays a team whom he has enjoyed some success against in the past. In 16 matches against Jamaica, Bravo has scored 354 runs at an average of 32.18 and strike rate of 120.
  • TKR didn’t need Kieron Pollard to go big in their last game. However, if they need him this time around, he is capable of doing wonders as his record vs Jamaica suggests. In 16 innings, he has racked up 420 runs at an average of 42.00 and strike rate touching 163.
  • Akeal Hosein is conceding his runs at an incredible economy rate of just 4.25 in CPL 2021. He has eight wickets in six matches this season, including 2/12 vs Jamaica.
  • Ravi Rampaul is on fire. He dented Jamaica’s top order two days ago (2/26), and will be looking to do the same today. He is the leading wicket-taker in CPL 2021, with 15 wickets in six matches. Plus, he has an impressive 15 wickets in nine games vs Tallawahs.

Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 20, JAM 9, TKR 11.
  • TKR’s win two days was their first over Jamaica at Warner Park.
  • Jamaica currently sit in fifth, two points behind TKR and St Lucia.

Possible Playing 11

Jamaica Tallawahs: 1. Kennar Lewis (wk), 2. Kirk McKenzie, 3. Haider Ali/Shamarh Brooks, 4. Jason Mohammed, 5. Rovman Powell (c), 6. Carlos Brathwaite, 7. Andre Russell, 8. Imad Wasim, 9. Migael Pretorius, 10. Chris Green, 11. Fidel Edwards/Joshua James

Trinbago Knight Riders: 1. Sunil Narine, 2. Lendl Simmons, 3. Colin Munro, 4. Darren Bravo, 5. Kieron Pollard (c), 6. Tim Seifert, 7. Denesh Ramdin (wk), 8. Isuru Udana, 9. Khary Pierre, 10. Akeal Hosein, 11. Ravi Rampaul

Warner Park Basseterre St Kitts Pitch Report and Weather

Teams batting second have won the last three matches in CPL 2021, with the average first innings score just 130.67. The surfaces have largely been good for batting, but greater consistency is required from the batsmen. A score in the region of 160 can be a competitive one.

There was a rain delay two days ago, but conditions should be warm and clear for this one.

Twitter reactions to fine India victory at The Oval | Fans react on Twitter to India victory over England in 4th Test at The Oval

“This Bumrah is something else,” exclaimed Rob Key on commentary. He is spot on.

The great India fast bowler inspired a terrific victory for India at The Oval, after producing a spell in the second session that will be remembered for a while to come. Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur and Umesh Yadav all chipped in at crucial stages, backed by Virat Kohli’s captaincy where everything he touched turn into gold.

Thakur in particular was outstanding. He scored two crucial half-centuries and took the all-important wickets of Rory Burns and Joe Root on the final day. Now, for the first time since 2007, India will leave England without a Test series defeat to their name. Like Lord’s, this was another win to savour, after coming from behind in the first innings following a disappointing 191 all-out in the first dig.

From there, India controlled the match, ammassing a big lead that was too big an ask for an England lineup that still relies too much on Joe Root.

India’s quest for a fine series triumph begins on Friday at Manchester. For now, it is time for India to celebrate, courtesy of a 157-run victory underpinned by a clinical display across the final two days of the match. Plus, it is their first victory at The Oval since 1971 – a terrific moment.

England fought hard, but ultimately their first innings batting effort kept India in the match. Then, the lack of effective spin bowling hampered them in the second innings, with their pacemen asked to do a mountain of bowling. With the fifth and final Test starting later this week, England have a mighty task to try and avoid a series defeat.

SL vs SA 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report

SL vs SA 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SL vs SA 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction Today | Sri Lanka vs South Africa 3rd ODI Key Players | Colombo Pitch Report

After showing promising signs in recent matches, old habits came back to haunt Sri Lanka in Sunday’s second ODI. Horrendous fielding preceded an early batting collapse, of which they were never able to recover from despite Charith Asalanka’s best efforts.

In the process, South Africa leveled the series at 1-1 and picked up crucial ODI Super League points. Janneman Malan continued his magnificent start to his ODI career, picking up his third century in just his eighth innings, setting the platform for the likes of Heinrich Klaasen and co. to play with freedom.

Also, the form of Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi in particular is cause for optimism in the Proteas’ camp. Sri Lanka will have to find a way to overcome their threat, with the likes of Avishka Fernando crucial to their hopes on a surface expected to have some bounce again and suit spin, too.

Should the weather be kind, fans will witness what should be an interesting decider to this three-match series. Neither team has won an ODI series in the last 18 months, so both will be desperate to end that drought here.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Sri Lanka:

  • Avishka Fernando’s low score in the second ODI was a blow for Sri Lanka. The in-form opener will be key here on a ground he enjoys batting at (8 inns, 380 runs, avg. 47.50). He scored a century in the opening ODI of the series, after scores of 50 (71) and 76 (98) vs India.
  • Charith Asalanka’s promising form continued. He was Sri Lanka’s shining light in the second ODI. Also, he now has scored three fifties in his last four ODIs, including two in a row in this series (65, 24, 72 and 77).
  • Can Dhananjaya de Silva impact this match. No current Sri Lankan player has more runs for South Africa in ODIs than de Silva (353, avg. 23.53), but will be aiming to build on his starts this series (44 and 12). He also has nine wickets vs the Proteas.
  • Wanindu Hasaranga has made two scores of three in this series, and is conceding 5.75 an over for just two wickets. He has scored three half centuries in ODIs in 2021, but will also be looking to build on his 10 wickets in 13 matches this year. Big game for him.
  • Chamika Karunaratne has made scores of 43*, 44* and 36 in his last five ODIs. He also bowled with good intent in the second ODI, taking 2/24 in five overs. Sri Lanka may look to utilise him more with the ball in this crucial match.
  • Dushmantha Chameera has been expensive in this series (7.64). He remains key given how well he has bowled in 2021 (33 wickets in 22 white-ball internationals).
  • It was a poor second ODI for Akila Dananjaya (0/46 off 7). However, if picked, he remains a factor given his record at this ground in ODIs (9 inns, 19 wickets, avg. 21.21).

South Africa:

  • Janneman Malan now has three centuries in eight ODI innings. His 121 in the second ODI set the platform for the Proteas, and he will be looking to do the same. He is averaging 104.50 with the bat.
  • Aiden Markram was looking in good touch in the second ODI (21) before edging a delivery to the keeper out of nowhere. He scored 96 in the first ODI, and is showing marked signs of improvement since his 2018 tour of Sri Lanka (23 runs in that series, avg. 7.66).
  • Reeza Hendricks will be aiming to build on his fluent half-century (51 off 54 balls). Rassie van der Dussen will also be key, and comes into the match off the back of two starts (59 and 16). He is averaging 69.59 in 22 ODI innings (1,044 runs).
  • The second ODI was home to some of Kagiso Rabada’s best form. The pacer extracted fine pace and bounce, and will be looking to do the same here if he is fit after an ankle injury concern. He has 27 wickets in 17 ODIs vs Sri Lanka at an average of 26.62.
  • Back Tabraiz Shamsi to be in the wickets once again if the batsmen aim to go after him. He is coming off 5/49 in the second ODI.

Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 78, Sri Lanka 32, South Africa 45, 1 tie, 1 N/R.
  • Neither team has won an ODI series in the past 18 months.
  • Sri Lanka have not won an ODI series vs South Africa since 2013. This is the fifth ODI series between the two teams since then.

Possible Playing 11

Kamindu Mendis or Dinesh Chandimal could replace the out of form Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

Sri Lanka: 1. Avishka Fernando, 2. Minod Bhanuka (wk), 3. Bhanuka Rajapaksa/Kamindu Mendis/Dinesh Chandimal, 4. Dhananjaya de Silva, 5. Charith Asalanka, 6. Dasun Shanaka (c), 7. Wanindu Hasaranga, 8. Chamika Karunaratne, 9. Akila Dananjaya, 10. Dushmantha Chameera, 11. Praveen Jayawickrama

Kagiso Rabada is being treated for an ankle sprain. According to reports, he is progressing well. However, if he is out, Anrich Nortje is likely to slot back in.

South Africa:  1. Aiden Markram, 2. Janneman Malan, 3. Reeza Hendricks, 4. Rassie van der Dussen, 5. Heinrich Klaasen (wk), 6. Wiaan Mulder, 7. George Linde, 8. Andile Phehlukwayo, 9. Keshav Maharaj (c), 10. Kagiso Rabada, 11. Tabraiz Shamsi

R Premadasa Stadium Colombo Pitch Report and Weather

The surface has been a sporting one so far this series, offering assistance to bowlers and batsmen alike. Turn has been available for the spinners, while the seamers have been able to extract some bounce. Also, the team batting first has won both ODIs this series after the chasing team won all ODIs in the India series.

Again, rain is forecast in Colombo. There may be some interruptions.

UAE IPL 2021: Why these teams will sorely miss these 6 players | Players who will be missed heavily by their teams in the UAE leg of IPL 2021

The second phase of IPL 2021 is all set to commence, and most teams have their personnel changed from what they had during the first half of the tournament held in April/May.

So, teams like Rajasthan Royals (RR), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were forced to make a couple of changes to their team ahead of the restart of this years’ IPL in the UAE.

Some of the players missing out may have a huge bearing on their respective teams’ chances in the tournament going further. We will name a few whose absence will be felt by their team.

6 players who will be sorely missed in the UAE leg of IPL 2021:

Jos Buttler – Rajasthan Royals

England wicket-keeper Jos Buttler, who was expected to represent the Rajasthan Royals, has pulled out of the tournament citing personal reasons. He is one of their premier batters in the line-up, and had scored 254 runs in seven games before the tournament was halted. This included a century.

The Royals have roped in Glenn Phillips as Buttler’s replacement, but the latter will be missed by the Royals.

Washington Sundar – Royal Challengers Bangalore

Washington Sundar was ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2021 due to a finger injury sustained during a practice game in England in July. As the injury is expected to keep him out for some more time, Sundar will not be part of the RCB squad in UAE. Virat Kohli’s team will surely miss Sundar’s accuracy, particularly in the powerplay overs.

Jofra Archer – Rajasthan Royals

The England pacer missed out on the first half of the IPL, and will not take part in the UAE-leg as well due to recurrence of his elbow injury which will keep him out of action for rest of the year. Tabraiz Shamsi was chosen as the player to replace the pace bowler in the RR squad.

Archer was the league’s MVP in 2020, and often carried the Royals’ bowling. Rajasthan struggled with the ball at times in the first leg of IPL 2021, so eyes will be on how they handle life without him.

Ben Stokes – Rajasthan Royals

Another England-cum-Royals player features in the list of those cricketers who will be missed heavily by their teams. The England all-rounder Ben Stokes played a game for the Royals in the first part of IPL but fractured his finger which ruled him out of the tournament. Having recovered, he took indefinite time off from cricket citing mental reasons.

Evin Lewis, the hard-hitting West Indies opener has been appointed as the replacement for this multi-dimensional cricketer Ben Stokes.

Pat Cummins – Kolkata Knight Riders

UAE IPL 2021: Why these teams will sorely miss these 6 players – Pat Cummins

The Aussie pacer was one of the first players to opt out of the UAE leg of IPL due to personal reasons. KKR are in trouble after an inconsistent first half of the IPL, and Pat Cummins’ absence leaves a huge void in their team. He was one of their star performers in what was a disappointing start for the team.

New Zealand pacer Tim Southee will join the team in his place for the rest of the tournament.

Jhye Richardson – Punjab Kings

Though not a big name like the rest of the others mentioned in the list, this young fast bowler from Australia is one for the future. He only played in 3 of the PBKS’ games in the first half of the IPL but his Big Bash League exploits made him a sought out player in IPL by few of the teams.

Twitter reactions to Bangladesh all out for 76 | Twitter reactions to Bangladesh getting all-out for 76 in the 3rd T20I against New Zealand

Just a few days after rolling New Zealand for 60, Bangladesh were handed a bit of a taste of their own medicine. The Black Caps returned serve, knocking over the home side for 76 to seal a convincing 52-run victory to keep the series alive.

Tom Latham’s team came into the game after pushing Bangladesh all the way in the second T20I. However, they found themselves in trouble once again at 62/5. But, Henry Nicholls (36*) and Tom Blundell (30*) highlighted New Zealand’s fight as they fought their way to a defendable 128/5.

Thereafter, Bangladesh were never in the hunt. Led by player of the match Ajaz Patel, New Zealand’s spinners ran riot to leave the home side reeling. On another slow, low pitch, Bangladesh struggled badly, with none of their batsmen finding any rythym as they were bowled out for 76 in 19.4 overs.

Ajaz Patel produced the goods with 4/16. He spoke about how nice it is for spinners to operate in such conditions.

“I think as a spinner you thrive on conditions like this. It was nice to get a few up at the top and our spinners collectively did a good job,” said Patel in the post-match presentation.

“I think both Cole and Rachin bowled brilliantly and we identified what ball was the hardest to play on this surface. We know these conditions may not be necessarily easy, but overall it was a good bowling effort. Yeah, Dan gave me clarity about what more these conditions can offer you.”

CPL 2021 Match 18: TKR vs JAM Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | TKR vs JAM Dream11 Prediction Today | Trinbago Knight Riders vs Jamaica Tallawahs Key Players | St Kitts Pitch Report

Having won just two out of their first five games, Trinbago Knight Riders have endured a poor campaign thus far and they will be looking to get their season back on track when they lock horns with Jamaica Tallawahs.

They will come into this game on the back of a disappointing defeat against Guyana Amazon Warriors where they failed to chase down six runs in the Super Over. Tallawahs, on the other hand, have had a middling campaign thus far with two wins and as many defeats after four outings. They will come into this game on the back of a six-wicket defeat at the hands of St Kitts & Nevis Patriots where they failed to defend 166.

So, it’s an important match for both sides in the quest for consistency in the second-half of CPL 2021.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Trinbago Knight Riders:

  • Tim Seifert: The New Zealand batsman is the 2nd highest run-getter for TKR thus far. In 5 innings he managed 119 runs at an average of 29.75. But, his strike rate of 107.25 has left a lot to be desired and TKR will hope that he makes an improvement in that regard.
  • Seifert has played just one innings against Jamaica in which he scored 18.
  • Colin Munro: He has struggled for runs in the tournament thus far, having managed just 94 runs in 5 innings at 23.50. Munro loves batting against Jamaica. In 10 innings, he has scored 515 runs at an average of 64.38 and a strike rate of 142.37.
  • Kieron Pollard: With 123 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 130.85, Pollard’s been TKR’s best batsman this season.
  • He too loves batting against Jamaica. In 15 innings, he has racked up 413 runs at an average of 41.30 and strike rate of 163.89.
  • Sunil Narine: The champion off-spinner has been brilliant this season. In 6 innings he has claimed six wickets at 16.50 and a barely believable economy rate of 4.9. Narine was sensational in the last game as he registered figures of 2/9 in four overs besides giving away just six in the Super Over.
  • Ravi Rampaul: The veteran pacer is the leading wicket-taker for TKR thus far. In 5 innings he has taken 13 wickets at 10.84.

Jamaica Tallawahs:

  • Kennar Lewis: The opener has endured a brilliant outing in CPL 2021 thus far. He is the leading run-getter for Jamaica so far: 160 runs in 4 innings at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 175.82.
  • His record against TKR: 52 runs in two innings.
  • Shamarh Brooks: Apart from Lewie, Brooks has been a consistent performer for Jamaica this season. In 3 innings he has scored 108 runs at 54 and a strike rate of 128.57.
  • Andre Russell: The swashbuckling all-rounder has failed to light up the CPL after his record-breaking 14-ball 50 in the first game. Expect a big knock from the burly right-hander in the coming games.
  • Russell loves batting against TKR. In 16 innings, he has smashed 567 runs at an average of 51.55 and a strike rate of 189 which also includes a three-figure score.
  • Migael Pretorious: The seamer has been the pick of the bowlers for Jamaica this season. In 4 innings he has claimed 10 wickets at an average of 15.40 

Stats and Facts

  • Both sides have met 19 times in CPL with TKR leading the ledger 10-9.
  • However, Jamaica Tallwahs have won both the games that these two sides have played at Warner Park.

CPL 2021 Match 17: SKN vs SLK Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SKN vs SLK Dream11 Prediction Today | St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs St Lucia Kings Key Players | St Kitts Pitch Report

What a way to break the streak. First, Faf du Plessis put behind a poor start to his CPL 2021 campaign in the best way possible with a breathtaking 120* to drive St Lucia Kings to 224/2. Secondly, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots suffered defeat for the first time this season, and in thumping fashion too by 100 runs.

So, what will the response be 24 hours later? To make the challenge that extra bit greater, Dwayne Bravo is all but set to be ruled out due to a groin strain, which is a big gap to fill for St Kitts. The bowling attack will be aiming to step up in his absence against a top order that put them to the sword yesterday, so it will be interesting to see how the previously undefeated St Kitts respond.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:

  • Evin Lewis enjoys playing against St Lucia, and this was on show yesterday with his 42-ball 73. He has 366 runs against them at an average of 33.27, with a strike rate well above 160.
  • Can Chris Gayle find his top form? In 13 matches, Gayle has struck 406 runs vs St Lucia at an average of 50.75 and strike rate nearing 160. He scored just 14 yesterday.
  • Sherfane Rutherford scored three half-centuries in the first four games of CPL 2021, followed by scores of 1 and 11. He has just 67 runs in five innings vs St Lucia at an average of 13.4. Big game for him.
  • Fawad Ahmed was the only bowler to hold his own yesterday (1/23). He now has seven wickets in six matches vs St Lucia.
  • Sheldon Cottrell will be key in the absence of Bravo. He had a tough day yesterday (0/39 off three overs). He will be aiming to build on his five wickets in six matches vs St Lucia.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:

  • What a return to form for Faf du Plessis. He had scored just 26 runs in his first four matches in CPL 2021, and had just 179 runs at an average/strike rate of 17.90/99.44 vs St Lucia before his outstanding 120* yesterday. He will be key again.
  • Roston Chase is in some outstanding form. He has smashed 85 and 64* in his last two matches. Also, he has been dismissed just once against St Kitts (5 inns, 130 runs, avg. 130), along with taking four wickets.
  • Andre Fletcher has the second-most runs in SKN-SLK matches, with 319 at an average of 29 and strike rate touching 130. He will be looking to build on yesterday’s start (23).
  • Tim David wasn’t needed yesterday. He has two low scores (0 and 15) since his superb knocks of 58 (29) and 44 (32) earlier in CPL 2021. He will be key in the finisher role for SLK.
  • Alzarri Joseph (3/27) and Keemo Paul (3/23) were the big wicket-takers yesterday. Paul has 13 wickets in nine matches vs St Kitts, and will be looking to add to that tally today.
  • Kesrick Williams has taken seven wickets in his last three matches (4/24, 2/7 and 1/23). He is a genuine wicket-taker in T20s, with 136 wickets in 104 matches. Also, he has 14 wickets in 10 matches against St Kitts.

Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 12, St Kitts 5, St Lucia 6, N/R 2.
  • St Lucia will move to within two points of St Kitts if they win today.
  • Dominic Drakes had an expensive outing yesterday (0/50). However, he showed promising form before that, and has seven wickets in six matches in CPL 2021.

Possible Playing 11

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots: 1. Evin Lewis, 2. Devon Thomas (wk), 3. Chris Gayle, 4. Ravi Bopara, 5. Sherfane Rutherford, 6. Fabian Allen, 7. Dominic Drakes, 8. Sheldon Cottrell, 9. Naseem Shah, 10. Paul van Meekeren, 11. Fawad Ahmed

St Lucia Kings: 1. Andre Fletcher (wk), 2. Faf du Plessis (c), 3. Keron Cottoy, 4. Roston Chase, 5. Tim David, 6. Samit Patel, 7. Keemo Paul, 8. Wahab Riaz, 9. Jeavor Royal, 10. Alzarri Joseph, 11. Kesrick Williams 

Warner Park Basseterre St Kitts Pitch Report and Weather

Runs are on offer for batsmen willing to play the percentages. Faf du Plessis and Roston Chase set the template yesterday, and both sides will be looking to take advantage of the easy-paced surface and smaller boundaries. The team batting first has won nine of 15 matches in CPL 2021.

More clear and warm weather is forecast.

BAN vs NZ 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report

BAN vs NZ 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | BAN vs NZ 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction | Bangladesh vs New Zealand 3rd T20I Key Players | Dhaka Pitch Report

After a one-sided first T20I, New Zealand sent a reminder of their depth and capabilities in the second, falling just short of an upset victory against a near full-strength Bangladesh side.

Tom Latham’s excellent 65* went in vain as the Black Caps fell agonisingly short of Bangladesh’s 141 – easily the highest first innings total across the Australia and New Zealand series to date. On another slow surface with signs of uneven bounce, the two captains – Mahmudullah and Latham – led the way with the bat to give this series a different dimension heading into the third match.

Despite the victory, Bangladesh were reminded that they might not have everything their own way. New Zealand will be looking to build on their promising showing in the second T20I, while Bangladesh will be seeking further improvement in their batting ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Bangladesh:

  • Shakib Al Hasan’s 2/29 was crucial after he gave his wicket away with the bat. He has scored double-figures in each of the last seven T20Is in difficult conditions (36, 26, 26, 15, 11, 25, 12), along with 11 wickets.
  • Mahmudullah is coming off a player of the match performance. No player has more T20I runs on this ground than the Bangladesh skipper, with 619 runs in 30 T20Is at an average of 44.21 and strike rate of 125.30. He is yet to be dismissed in this series (14* and 37*).
  • Can Mushfiqur Rahim bounce back after a golden duck in the second T20I? He averages just 19.42 in 28 T20Is on this ground, so he will be seeking an improvement.
  • Mustafizur Rahman will be seeking an improvement, too. His 0/34 in the second match was just his second wicketless outing in his last seven T20Is, and easily his most expensive. He has 91 wickets in 65 T20s on this ground.
  • Nasum Ahmed has taken 11 wickets in his last seven T20Is. His spin partner, Mahedi Hasan, was excellent in the second T20I with 2/12 in his four overs. Mahedi has taken three wickets in two matches so far this series.

New Zealand:

  • It was vital that Tom Latham bats up the order for New Zealand. His 65* off 49 balls gave the tourists a sniff of victory. The skipper will be key again in conditions that aid spin.
  • Rachin Ravindra’s all-round game will be key to New Zealand’s hopes. He is yet to fire with the bat, but his 3/21 with the ball indicates his wicket-taking potential in these conditions.
  • Ajaz Patel is conceding runs at just 3.37 runs per over this series (two wickets). He could be in for a big haul if Bangladesh’s batsmen look to go after him.
  • Cole McConchie also has two wickets to his name this series. He will also be key with the bat down the order, particularly with his ability to rotate strike as he showed in the second T20I (15* off 12 balls).
  • Will Young scored a half-century against Bangladesh earlier this year, and showed some resistance in the second match (22 off 27 balls). Can he find more fluency in this match?

Stats and Facts

  • Bangladesh have the opportunity to win their third-straight T20I series. They have never achieved this before.
  • Mahmudullah is set to become the first Bangladeshi – and eighth player overall – to play 100 T20Is.
  • Mahmudullah is also the most successful Bangladesh T20I skipper, with 12 wins.

Possible Playing 11

Bangladesh are likely to stick with the same XI, unless the look to play left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam.

Bangladesh: 1. Mohammad Naim, 2. Liton Das, 3. Shakib Al Hasan, 4. Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Mahmudullah (c), 6 Nurul Hasan (wk), 7 Afif Hossain, 8 Mahedi Hasan, 9 Mohammad Saifuddin/Shoriful Islam, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Nasum Ahmed

Finn Allen and Matt Henry are both available for New Zealand, and could play today.

New Zealand: 1. Rachin Ravindra, 2. Tom Blundell/Finn Allen, 3. Tom Latham (c & wk), 4. Colin de Grandhomme, 5. Will Young, 6. Henry Nicholls, 7. Cole McConchie, 8. Doug Bracewell/Scott Kuggeleijn, 9. Ajaz Patel, 10. Hamish Bennett, 11. Ben Sears/Matt Henry

Shere Bangla Stadium Mirpur Dhaka Pitch Report

Bangladesh’s 141 and New Zealand’s 137 were the two highest scores in the last seven T20Is on this ground. The harder pitch offered more for the batsmen, although there was some uneven bounce and turn still available for the bowlers. The team batting first has won seven of the last 10 T20s on this ground.

There is a chance of rain in Mirpur during the match.
