Caribbean Premier League 2020 Jamaica Tallawahs vs. St. Lucia Zouks, Match no. 30

Match predictions

Winners Prediction: St. Lucia Zouks and Jamaica Tallawahsboth have qualified for the knockouts. But, both teams have lost their last couple of completed matches and will look to win this match and enter into the semi-finals with momentum on their side. Zouks seemed to have peaked early while Tallawahs never really peaked but scratched into the knockouts. We expect Jamaica Tallawahs to win this contest. 

Score Prediction: We expect a good dry pitch with something in it for both batsmen and bowlers. We expect scores around 150-160 runs in this match. Spinners may enjoy bowling here as this is the second match of the day. 

Toss Prediction: Chasing is the best option as teams can pace their innings accordingly. Batting first puts pressure on batsmen to score big.

Players to Bet on

JAMAICA TALLAWAHS

1. Glenn Philips – Philips is having an amazing season thisyear with 265 runs at a strike rate of 125. He is expected to play a big role in the knockout stages of the match at the top. 

2. Andre Russell – Russell hit has third fifty this season in just 7 games he played. He is looking at his usual best scoring runs with massive sixes down the ground. 

3. Mujeeb Ur Rehman – Mujeeb looked bit wayward and lackluster in the last 2-3 matches with batsmen taking him for runs. He failed to take wicket in last three matches after a brilliant first phase of the tournament with the ball. 

ST. LUCIA ZOUKS

1. Mohammed Nabi – Nabi is the team`s most valuable player with 11 wickets at an economy of just 5.2 RPO. He is also a handy player with the bat who can score runs at quick pace.

2. Mark Deyal – Deyal looked impressive for his 33-ball 40 runs last night and we expect a good performance with the bat from him in this match. He will be expected to bat inside the top-3 alongside Fletcher and Cornwall. 

3. Scott Kuggleijn – Kuggleijn has been their biggest positive this season with 13 wickets at an economy rate of 8 RPO. He is the only pacer to be among the top 5 wicket-takers list dominated by spinners.
