St Lucia Zouks vs Jamaica Tallawahs, CPL T20
St Lucia Zouks and Jamaica Tallawahs meet in the final league phase match of the 2020 Caribbean Premier League, with both teams looking to get back to winning ways before the semi-finals. The match takes place on September 6 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy and the live action starts at 14:15 local time.
St Lucia Zouks have won five of their nine matches, but their batting has dipped in recent matches and they have dropped won from second place after back-to-back defeats to Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders.
Jamaica Tallawahs have just three wins to their name, meanwhile, including their opening win against the Zouks. Defeat to Barbados Tridents last time out mean it is only the point they got for their rained off fixture against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots that has kept them clear in fourth place.

St Lucia Zouks Team News & Playing 11
St Lucia Zouks Team News
Roston Chase returned last time out but was down the batting order as the Zouks rearranged things up the top. Kimani Melius could make way for Rahkeem Cornwall for this game, but Mark Deyal and Andre Fletcher may stay swapped around at two and three respectively.
St Lucia Zouks Key Players
- Andre Fletcher: Dropped to number three last time out, but seemed to enjoy the role as he hammered three sixes on his way to 42 from 27 balls.
- Mohammad Nabi: Could not add to his 11 wickets last time out, but he bowled economically again last time out and hit two sixes in his brief batting innings too.
- Scott Kuggeleijn: Moved to 14 wickets for the tournament as he claimed 2-35 last time out to continue his excellent wicket-taking form.
St Lucia Zouks Team Form
St Lucia Zouks have lost three of their last five games, with their form having dipped towards the end of the league phase. They were well short with the bat against Guyana Amazon Warriors and had too much to do against Trinbago last time out too. Set 176 to win, they could only reach 152/7 after a slow start.
St Lucia Zouks Predicted Playing 11
Rahkeem Cornwall, Mark Deyal, Andre Fletcher (wk), Najibullah Zadran, Roston Chase, Mohammad Nabi, Darren Sammy (c), Scott Kuggeleijn, Kesrick Williams, Javelle Glen, Zahir Khan
Jamaica Tallawahs Team News & Playing 11
Jamaica Team News
Chadwick Walton has paid the price for his poor form in CPL 2020 and, with Jermaine Blackwood smashing 74 from 59 balls at the top of the order last time out, it seems the Tallawahs will open with Blackwood and Phillips. Preston McSween also came into the team but he was expensive last time out.
Jamaica Key Players
- Glenn Phillips: Overshadowed by Blackwood at the top of the order last time out but he has hit 265 runs for the Tallawahs so far this season.
- Andre Russell: He is currently not bowling, but he has still hit back-to-back half-centuries, and three in his last four innings in total, to prove his quality.
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman: The Afghan teenager has taken 13 wickets so far and will be keen to get back to his bamboozling best in time for the semi-finals.
Jamaica Team Form
Jamaica have lost to Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Tridents in their last two completed matches, either side of a rain-ruined no result against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Last time out, Jermaine Blackwood (74) and Andre Russell (54) helped them to 161/4 but they suffered a seven-wicket defeat as Barbados finally found some batting form.
Jamaica Tallawahs Predicted Playing 11
Glenn Phillips (wk), Jermaine Blackwood, Asif Ali, Andre Russell, Rovman Powell (c), Carlos Brathwaite, Nkrumah Bonner, Oshane Thomas, Fidel Edwards, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sandeep Lamichhane
