Preview:
The second match on Saturday will be a match-up of the two teams who have not had a great run in this tournament so far. The Jamaica Tallwahs have played five matches and have won only two matches, placing them at the fifth spot in the points table. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have won only a single match of the five they have been a part of.
Both the teams are placed similarly in terms of their consistency and performance in this tournament. So, it will be interesting to see who wins this equally contested match, which could potentially make or break the tournament run for either of the two teams.
