Match details
Series/tournament name: Caribbean Premier League 2019
Venue: Kingston, Jamaica
Date: 20 September, 2019
Time: 5:30 a.m. IST
Preview:
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have played more games than the other teams and are sitting in third place, but will run into a shortage of games if they don't start winning now to book their spot in the final-four. The Tallawahs, meanwhile, just got off the mark last game and are all but out of contention. They have a few handy additions in their team and it could well see them cause a few upsets in the latter half of the tournament.
Weather report: Humidity is high but the weather is clear for this fixture.
Pitch report: The pitch has seen some incredibly high-scoring games but the last one was a bit on the slower side with the surface repeatedly used. 160 should be a winning total here for this game.
Injuries and replacements:
Rovman Powell out injured for whole tournament
Probable Playing XI:
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
The Patriots pack a punch with their middle order but Devon Thomas has been the standout player for them with vital contributions at the top. They need Shamarh Brooks to anchor the middle order so that the likes of Carlos Brathwaite, Thomas, Evin Lewis, Laurie Evans and Mohammad Hafeez can capitalise.
Devon Thomas, Evin Lewis, Laurie Evans, Mohammad Hafeez, Carlos Brathwaite, Shamarh Brooks, Fabien Allen, Rayad Emrit, Alzarri Joseph, Akeem

Jamaica Tallawahs
Chadwick Walton captained them in the last game and we should see that continuing. With Dwayne Smith coming in after Rovman Powell's injury, the Tallawahs have a bolstered line-up. Jade Dernbach and Christopher Lamont add depth in the bowling with Oshane Thomas and Taylor missing.

Top picks:
Wicket-keeper: Glenn Phillips (8.5 credits)
Phillips and his aggression at the top have been a huge bonus for the Tallawahs. The Kiwi has been in good form and it's only ideal that he continues as one of the main keepers in your fantasy team. You could choose to go with Devon Thomas as well, but Phillips is a must-have.
Batsman: Evin Lewis (10 credits)
The West Indian opener has started to find his tempo and in the last game showcased an ability to assess game situation and go bonkers accordingly. Lewis will be a key figure in the Patriots camp for this game and is a must pick.
All-rounder: Carlos Brathwaite (9.5 credits)
Brathwaite hit his straps last match and even with his bowling not quite being as impactful, a higher batting position makes him a teasing pick in the all-rounder's category. He might want to leash in his economy a touch.
Bowler: Sheldon Cottrell (9.5 credits)
Cottrell and his celebrations have become very frequent simply because he has been picking wickets at incredible frequency. The left-armer is a great pick particularly for this surface and is a good choice as skipper too.
Captaincy options: Evin Lewis, Carlos Brathwaite, Sheldon Cottrell
