Team News
Jamaica Tallawahs
Jamaica Tallawahs will be happy that they have qualified for the semis even though they weren’t at their best throughout the tournament. But all those things won’t matter in the semis. They would look to win their last game and take that winning momentum in the semi-finals.
The likes of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichanne have been brilliant throughout the tournament. Andre Russell who missed a couple of matches came back in the XI which is very important for the team’s fate.
Andre Russell and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the key players to watch out for.
St. Lucia Zouks
St Lucia Zouks have had a good campaign up till now. They have won some, lost some but the result is that they have qualified for the knockouts. Mohammad Nabi has done an outstanding job with the ball. Andre Fletcher and Najibullah Zadran have contributed well with the bat.
Daren Sammy would love to make some more contributions as he hasn’t scored enough runs in this season. He will look to gain some form before the semi-finals.
