The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots batting unit has struggled despite their 1 win from 2 games. Kevin Wickham and Andre Fletcher have scored 50-plus runs each, while no batter has scored a fifty. Johnson Charles and Kyle Mayers have needed to use their international experience to improve the team’s batting output.
Jason Holder has been the leading wicket-taker with 4 wickets in 2 games and has maintained an economy rate below 5. Saurabh Netravalkar has taken 3 wickets in 2 games at an economy rate below 7. Waqar Salamkheil and Obed McCoy had taken 1 wicket each. The bowling unit had therefore performed better than the batting unit in the opening two games.
Charles, Mayers and Shanaka are the key batters in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher (wk), Kyle Mayers, Dasun Shanaka, Jason Holder (c), Kevin Wickham, Navin Bidaisee, Wanindu Hasaranga, Obed McCoy, Saurabh Netravalkar, Waqar Salamkheil
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have the edge in experience, but Jamaica Kingsmen will have enough power in their batting to make this a close contest. Jamaica’s recent 5-wicket win over TKR will also give them confidence, especially after Kirk McKenzie scored 69 off 25 balls.
Rovman Powell is Jamaica’s key batter, with 138 runs in 4 innings and 10 sixes. Andre Russell will add more power, having scored 104 runs at a strike rate of 155.22 and hit 11 sixes. McKenzie will also provide another attacking option after his recent big score.
The Patriots have experienced players, but Jamaica’s stronger six-hitting options could make the difference at Sabina Park.
