Shamarh Brooks provided a valiant support scoring 47 runs in the 93-run partnership with Kennar Lewis after the early slump to 50/3 at the end of 8 overs. They have a strong batting line-up with all top-7 batters capable to scoring big runs at good pace.

Andre Russell, Fidel Edwards, and Rovman Powell claimed 4 wickets between them to give good support at the other end.

Top Players to Bet on:

Miguel Pretorius: Pretorius has 9 wickets in the 3 matches with bowling figures of 4/32, 1/39, & 4/32 so far. He has 5 wickets in first 6 overs which will be a big boost to his team`s bowling attack.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Preview

Patriot`s openers Evin Lewis (30 runs) and Devon Thomas (31 runs) gave a perfect start with their 69-run partnership which set the platform for the chase. Sherfane Rutherford then took centre stage with his 59 runs off 34 balls and his 72-run partnership with Dwayne Bravo (22 runs) sealed the match in their favour.

Paul Van Meekaran (2 wickets) and Fabian Allen (1 wickets) were the only wicket takers last night as they claimed just 3 wickets in 20 overs. But they did well to restrict the opposition to below 170 runs. Fawad Ahmed, Dominic Drakes, and JR Jaggesar had combined bowling figures of 9-0-67-0 in the match.

Top Players to Bet on:

Evin Lewis: Lewis has scores of 62 & 30 in the last two matches and has built 113 & 69 run partnerships for the first wicket which has set the platform from their team. We expect him to continue his good work with the bat in this match too.

Paul Van Meekran: Meekaran has been very economical with the ball with bowling figures of 0/25, 0/24, & 2/23 in the 3 matches. He is piling on the pressure at one end in the middle overs effectively.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Predicted Playing XI:

Devon Thomas, Evin Lewis, Asif Ali, Sherfane Rutherford, Dwayne Bravo (c), Fabian Allen, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Dominic Drakes, Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Paul van Meekeren, Fawad Ahmed

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Basseterre has a bright and sunny weather which are very good for playing a game of cricket. We can expect a full match with no external interruptions whatsoever.

Venue Details

Warner park has a slight tinge of green and the pacers  will trouble batters with movement of the pitch. Batters can take advantage if they can apply themselves on this track. We expect average score of 160-170 runs in this match. 

Toss: To Bowl

Batsmen are getting used to playing on these pitches and are setting their innings for the chases easily. We expect both teams to bowl first if they win the toss.
