They won their previous game against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Sherfane Rutherford, with his unbeaten 59, guided the Patriots past Guyana’s total of 166.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will want to continue their brilliant run this season and will eye a fourth consecutive win in the CPL.
Jamaica Tallawahs, on the other hand, are also coming on the back of a win and would want to carry the momentum forward. If the Tallawahs have to stop the Patriots’ winning run, they are going to have to bring out their best cricket.

Predicted Playing XIs
Jamaica Tallawahs
The Tallawahs’ top order has been among the runs so far, but they will have to maintain some consistency. Kennar Lewis led the show last time out with his 89 run-knock.
Shamarh Brooks replicated his form from his first game, scoring 47 runs yet again. If skipper Rovman Powell and Andre Russell can get going often as well, this is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous batting line-ups.
Migael Pretorius picked up four wickets, leading the charge with the ball. Fidel Edwards came into the side and grabbed two wickets as well. The Tallawahs look like a well-balanced unit overall.
Predicted XI: Chadwick Walton (wk), Kennar Lewis, Haider Ali, Rovman Powell (c), Shamarh Brooks, Carlos Brathwaite, Andre Russell, Migael Pretorius, Chris Green, Veerasammy Permaul, Fidel Edwards.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
Both openers, Devon Thomas and Evin Lewis, have been in good form at the top. Asif Ali is yet to play an impact innings and would like to get among the runs.
Sherfane Rutherford has been pretty consistent with two fifties from three games. St Kitts also have a strong batting unit. Bowling has done well so far too, helping them maintain an unbeaten run.
Predicted XI: Evin Lewis, Devon Thomas, Sherfane Rutherford, Asif Ali, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Dwayne Bravo (c), Fabian Allen, Dominic Drakes, Paul van Meekeren, Fawad Ahmed, Jon-Russ Jaggesar/Sheldon Cottrell.
Match Prediction
The two teams have won their previous CPL games and are high on confidence. Batting is the core strength for both sides.
The side that bowls well is likely to do well. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will start this CPL game as favorites but this should be an interesting contest.
