SLZ vs JAM Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket St Lucia Zouks vs Jamaica Tallawahs CPL T20 6 September

SLZ vs JAM Dream11 Prediction: Caribbean Premier League is marching towards its business end as we are into the last week of the competition. Jamaica Tallawahs will take on St Lucia Zouks in the final group match at Tarouba today. Both the teams have already qualified for the semi-finals but they will be looking to fine-tune their preparations before going into the knock-outs. We will preview the match in our Dream11 fantasy cricket.

In the last match against Trinbago Knight Riders, St Lucia Zouks didn’t play according to their potentials and were caught up short. Bowlers sprayed all over the place as they were unable to pick up regular breakthroughs against a dangerous batting lineup. As a result, TKR posted 175 on the board. Scott Kuggeleijn bagged a couple of wickets. In reply, Mark Deyal and Andre Fletcher were the only two batsmen with significant contributions as St Lucia Zouks lost the match by 23 runs comfortably.  

Jamaica Tallawahs were outplayed by Barbados Tridents yesterday on the same pitch. Batting first, Jamaica Tallawahs promoted Jermaine Blackwood to open the innings alongside Glenn Phillips. That move worked well as Jermaine Blackwood anchored the innings for his team with a well-compiled 74 runs. In the death overs, Andre Russell displayed his usual fireworks to propel Jamaica to a total of 161 runs. In the bowling, spinners bowled well but others proved expansive as Jason Holder and Mitchell Santner helped the Tridents to chase down the total with a relative ease.

In head-to-head comparisons, Jamaica Tallawahs are having an upper hand with a lead of 9-5 over their rivals St Lucia Zouks. Even in last 5 meetings, Jamaica Tallawahs have sailed home on 3 occasions compared to 2 of the Zouks. In the first match this year, Jamaica Tallawahs beat St Lucia Zouks chasing a total during the first week of the season.

Pitch and Conditions

Scattered thunderstorms are predicted today during the match-time. So, the interruptions due to rain may play a part but drainage facility at the venue is of the highest standards. Fans would be hopeful of getting a full game in the last match of group stages in CPL today. This pitch is looking a bit better as we have seen in the matches yesterday. Hence, we can expect some decent scores from both the sides.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Mohammad Nabi is having everything that a T20 cricketer would dream of having. He bats at number 4 while takes the new ball on most occasions. His experience of winning trophies in the past will come in handy as we get closer to the knock-outs.
• You don’t need to look beyond Andre Russell while picking your teams for any of the fantasy leagues. His fitness has restricted his bowling capabilities but that hasn’t affected his batting at all. He is still smashing them from the middle of his willow.
• Glenn Phillips is another easy pick from Jamaica Tallawahs. He hasn’t made any harm to his CPL reputation this year and he loves playing on these grounds. He bats at the top and also an impressive fielder when he isn’t keeping.

For Grand Leagues

• Mark Deyal made a quick-fire 40 against TKR yesterday and looked in good touch. He plays spin well and will be critical for the battle against the Jamaica spinners. He is a good potential pick for the grand leagues.
• Scott Kuggeleijn continued his wicket-taking form in the last match also. He has not bowled at his best this year but still has bulk of wickets. He is the second highest wicket-taker in the league and a good one for the grand leagues for today’s match.
• Mujeeb Ur Rahman has troubled batsmen from all over the world with his artistic skills. He has been a consistent performer in T20 leagues for last couple of years now. He is arguably the best spinner in the competition looking at the number of scalps to his name. If the Tallawahs bowl first, then he should be your man for the captaincy.

Who will win SLZ vs JAM Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream11 predictions, this will be a very good clash to cap off the group stage of this year’s CPL. Both teams are looking almost equal after analyzing strengths and weaknesses of both of them. Jamaica Tallawahs are slightly better side on paper even though they are at the fourth position in the points table. The returns of Andre Russell will go a long way in deciding the result of the match.
