St Kitts and Nevis Patriots like the Falcons will be playing their fourth match in a week in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and with the games coming thick and fast, the 2021 champions will be keen to wrestle the momentum back in their favour having lost two on the bounce now. Despite the batters pulling in their weight, Patriots' bowling, especially in the middle overs has left a lot to be desired. The Patriots take on the Guyana Amazon Warriors in their fourth encounter and hope to get back to the winning ways.
Anrich Nortje and Kyle Mayers had given a terrific start to the Patriots with the ball, however, as skipper Andre Fletcher admitted, the missed chances cost them in the middle overs. Saint Lucia Kings went on to chase 201 from being 20/4. The Patriots would hope for a much tighter game with the ball against the Warriors, who got over the line on the final ball of the match against the Falcons.
The Warriors, on the other hand, need to refine their act with the bat as there were small contributions but they couldn't build partnerships before Dwaine Pretorius starred in the end with the bat. It should be a great contest with two good sides, who have their share of weaknesses.
