St Lucia Stars Team News & Playing 11
The opening pair of Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher will be the key for the Stars. Both cracked fifties in each of the two matches against the Tallawahs in the previous season and they will be expected to get going again. Shane Shillingford will be the go-to man for the Stars when it comes to bowling. The Tallawahs will be wary of this offspinner against whom they had found it hard to score off last year.

Jamaica Tallawahs Team News & Playing 11
Lendl Simmons, Kumar Sangakkara and Shakib Al Hasan form the pillars of their batting lineup. The openers had a good outing last time against the Knight Riders while Shakib who brings stability to the middle order scored 44* against the Tridents. The Tallawahs will rely heavily on Kesrick Williams who has taken six wickets from three matches. The fast bowler took a couple of scalps against the Stars in one of the league games last year and the team will need him to bowl well again.

St Lucia vs Jamaica Prediction
The two teams have faced each other seven times in the history of the Caribbean Premier League with Jamaica Tallawahs leading the scoreline 4-3. St Lucia Stars were successful in doing the double over Jamaica in the previous season and they will gain plenty of confidence from this. At the same time, they will be bothered by the fact that they have lost to the Tallawahs both times they have played them at their home ground. Jamaica will have the momentum on their side with wins in their last two games which is why we feel they are better placed to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Jamaica Tallawahs to beat St Lucia Stars in this 14th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2017.
