Faf du Plessis has a lot of experience and will look to deliver a good start in this game along with the hard-hitting Johnson Charles. Kimani Milues, Roston Chase, and Sikandar Raza are good players and have an important role in the middle order. The side will also look for sins from Jeavor Royal, Roshon Primus, and Matthew Forde toward the end of the innings.

Jamaica Tallawahs have a very strong side with a good bowling attack. They haven’t enjoyed a good record at this venue, which will be on the players’ minds.

We expect Saint Lucia Kings to win this match.
