St Kitts and Nevis Patriots finally got a win under their belt as they defeated the Barbados Tridents at the same venue. St Lucia Zouks are in a pretty good condition as they have won 3 out of their four games.
These two teams have met before in this tournament when the St Lucia Zouks defeated St Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 10 runs. Patriots had failed to chase down a target of 173 in that game.
Even though Patriots is last in the points table and Zouks in the top two, with Patriots batsmen gaining some form it will be an interesting game to watch out for.
