Jamaica Tallawahs and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots both the teams will be playing their eighth game of CPL 2020. Tallawahs have a good chance of making it to the semis whereas the Nevis Patriots are almost out of the competition.
Both the teams are coming from losses as the Tallawahs lost to the Knight Riders and the Nevis Patriots lost to Amazon Warriors in their last games respectively. Both the teams have good power hitters and if the pitch is a decent one for the batsmen then we might see a good contest between these two teams.

Team News
Jamaica Tallawahs
Jamaica Tallawahs might have lost their last game but there were some positives for them from that game. Andre Russell who had missed two games came back and scored a quickfire half-century, Glenn Philips continued his good form and even in a high-scoring game Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichanne were economical.
Their skipper Rovman Powell and star all-rounder Carlos Braithwaite need to deliver if they want to win consistently. Andre Russell and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the players to watch out for.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are almost out of the competition and now with no pressure, they might perform better than what they have done so far. Their batsmen haven’t delivered in this season which is the main reason for their poor performance.
Rayad Emrit and some other bowlers have done a decent job but you can’t win matches only with your bowling. They will be trying to end their season on a high and hence they would like to win their last couple of games.
Evin Lewis and Rayad Emrit are the players to watch out for.
