sls vs jt Match Prediction & Analysis

It is a do-or-die battle in the Eliminator game of the Caribbean Premier League 2022. Jamaica Tallawahs and Saint Lucia Kings have been inconsistent and will look to take their campaign forward. The two sides had faced in the last game, but it had to be abandoned after toss due to rain and poor ground conditions.  

Jamaica Tallawahs had a good start, but the side has fallen apart in the last few games. They have won once in the previous six games, and this would put pressure on the side. The Saint Lucia Kings had defeated the Tallawahs earlier in the season, and this would make the side confident here. The stakes are high for both teams, and we will see a close contest in this game
