Apart from Barbados Royals and Jamaica Tallahwahs, every other team in the tournament has struggled thus the battle for the final two slots in the semifinals is going to be intense.
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots are placed third on the points table, but they have just two wins in seven games. St. Lucia too have just a couple of wins to show but they have played a game less. A win in the coming game will give the winning team a big push towards a place in the semis.
Patriots defeated Jamaica Tallahwahs by 5 wickets in the last game thus they will be high on confidence. St. Lucia also picked up a big 61-run win over St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the last game thus they will also be flying high.
The surface has lost its pace and the batters are struggling against the spinners which is why we have seen teams struggling to post big runs. However, once a batter gets used to the pace, it’s easier to bat.
There is a 33 per cent chance of rain on the match day and the temperature will range between 33 to 25 degrees.

Andre Fletcher has had a good tournament with the bat for the Patriots. He has played a big 82-run knock in the tournament and also has scored a couple of 40s. Overall, he has scored 198 runs in five games.
Faf du Plessis has picked up some form in recent games and he is getting better with every passing match. We feel that he is about to reach his peak. He scored a magnificent 60 in the last game against the same team.
Darren Bravo scored 39 off 21 balls when Patriots faced Jamaica in the last game. Bravo was once rated very highly in the West Indies team but lack of consistent performances saw him lose his place. But he still has all the skills to succeed and the knock in the previous game will give him a lot of confidence.
The magical leg spinner is always a handy player to have in the fantasy team. Rashid can turn the game on his head with the bat and on a good day, he can pull off some brilliant knocks with the bat as well.
Alzarri Joseph has had a top run in the tournament. He is the highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 12 wickets in six games. In the last meet against the Patriots, he picked two wickets for just 19 runs.
