Jamaica Tallawahs and St Lucia Zouks will play their first match of CPL 2021 against each other on Friday. The match will be played in the Warner Park cricket stadium in St Kitts from 7:30 PM IST. The Pitch report of the JAM vs SLK match is provided below with the head-to-head record of both teams.
The two-time Champion, Jamaica Tallawahs although did enter the semi-finals, they didn’t have a great season last year. They could only win 3 out of 10 league stage matches last year. The Rovman Powell led side would look forward to starting the season with a win against the Zouks.
The St Lucia Zouks did manage to make their maiden appearance in the CPL finals last year but couldn’t grab their chance. They were handed a defeat by the Trinbago Knight Riders in the finals by 8 wickets.
