Jamaica Tallawahs vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots CPL 25th Match Prediction

A listless performance by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots during their last loss to Trinbago Knight Riders now leaves them practically devoid of any hopes of going to the playoff stages. With 1 win out of 8 matches played, all they can hope for now is to salvage whatever’s left of their pride by winning the last two matches. To stop that from happening, the Jamaica Tallawahs are all lined up and ready. Themselves looking for the win to climb into the playoffs ahead of Barbados, Jamaica are 2 points clear for now, but would definitely feel much safer with a 4-point buffer. In fact, if the stars align they still stand a chance to sneak into the second spot. With that in mind, Jamaica will be hoping that the Patriots reprise their regular role as a pushover this season. Before the pushing and pulling starts, let’s take a look at the two sides.

Jamaica Tallawahs Preview & Form

With 3 games in hand, Jamaica will be pleased to see that one is against the Patriots and the other the Tridents. While this game would give them a strong buffer, as long as they win against Barbados they will guarantee their spot in the second round. Should they lose both, however, their last match is against the Zouks. They did beat them earlier in the season, but this new, stronger St Lucia side is nothing like those before. Long story short, it’s in Jamaica’s best interest to win this match. With Andre Russell in excellent form, they just need to make sure he has enough time with the bat to point their fortunes in the right direction.

What more is even left to say about the Patriots? They had a promising lineup that just couldn’t click, and a captain who seems to think too highly of himself despite not having had any career high points to justify such an ego. They do still have a strong lineup, though, and should a couple of them suddenly activate, it could turn into a shock for Jamaica. There is still an astronomical chance for them to qualify, but that would have to start with two massive, dominating wins. For a team with a broken back and a dilapidated net run rate, it is seemingly too big an ask. One interesting factor might be that they won 4 out of their last 5 face-offs with the Tallawahs.

Match Prediction

As long as the Patriots don’t exceed any expectations, Jamaica should be through with ease. Expect Andre Russell and Glenn Phillips to charge up with the bat, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichhane prove how prolific they are. 

Rayad Emrit’s men are going to need a miracle, and for all their suffering the universe might as well give them one. Expect Sheldon Cottrell and Imran Khan to come up with some magic deliveries, while Evin Lewis and Joshua Da Silva hold their nerves with the bat.
