SKN vs SLZ Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's CPL 2020 Match - August 22nd, 2020
Match 7 of the Caribbean Premier League pits the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots against the St Lucia Zouks at the Brian Lara Stadium on Saturday.
Despite boasting an explosive batting unit, which comprises of Chris Lynn and Evin Lewis, the Patriots have underwhelmed as they dwell at the bottom of the table with no wins in two attempts.
On the other hand, the Zouks come into this game on the back of a vital win against defending champions Barbados Tridents with spin-bowling duo Mohammad Nabi and Roston Chase firing on all cylinders.
Although the Darren Sammy-led Zouks have momentum on their side, they are the lesser-fancied of the two teams given the Patriots' superior batting prowess.
However, the Zouks will bank on their depth to get past the Patriots in what promises to be a close encounter.
Either way, one should witness an entertaining game with two valuable points up for grabs in Trinidad.

Pitch Report
A decent track awaits the two sides on Saturday with something in it for both the batsmen and bowlers. The bowlers, especially the spinners, will be crucial on this surface with a lot of turn available off the surface.
Although the batsmen should be wary of the early swing, run-scoring is relatively more straightforward with the new ball and the field restrictions as well.
Both teams will ideally want to chase on winning the toss with the pitch conditions not expected to change much during the game.
