Jamaica Tallawahs vs St Lucia Zouks (Kings): September 9, CPL 2021 Prediction

Match Predictions and Betting Odds

Jamaica Tallawahs take on St Lucia Kings (formerly, St Lucia Zouks) in match number 24 of this ongoing 2021 season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). These two teams are at opposite ends of the spectrum on the points table.

Jamaica Tallawahs started off with a thumping 120-run win over in their very first game. However, since then, it hasn’t been a smooth run for them. They have lost three out of their last four games and they are currently lying at the fifth position on the points table with just four points. The batting has been quite disappointing. Barring that first game, Jamaica Tallawahs haven’t really stepped up with the bat. Meanwhile, the bowling has revolved around Migael Pretorius who has taken 11 wickets while no other bowler has even five wickets. Thus, Jamaica Tallawahs will be looking to make a comeback.

On the other hand, St Lucia Kings didn’t have a great start to this season. They lost two out of their first three games but they have turned things around superbly. They have won three games in a row and each of them have been by commanding margins. With four wins from six games (eight points), they are currently second on the points table. The bowling has been quite consistent while the batting has delivered as well. Thus, St Lucia Kings have been good all-round and they have a pretty balanced side.

St Lucia Kings may be behind on the head-to-head count against Jamaica Tallawahs but given their current form, they might start this game as slight favourites. They have the winning odds of 1.88 before the start of this game. However, don’t count Jamaica Tallawahs out. They have the firepower and can bounce back. Thus, their winning odds are currently placed at 2.02.

Summary

Jamaica Tallawahs and St Lucia Kings (formerly, St Lucia Zouks) have squared off against each other as many as 16 times and Jamaica Tallawahs are ahead on the head-to-head record. They have won 10 games while St Lucia Kings have won just six. However, St Lucia Kings have been better in the last couple of years. They have won three out of the last five games between these two sides. But it was Jamaica Tallawahs who won the game between these two sides earlier this season.
