Match Prediction

Both sides have similar performances this season so it’s tough to choose between the two. They both have some reliable players and are struggling at the moment. SKN are coming into this match with a win in their last match, but their bowling side is hardly reliable. JAM on the other side, has a strong bowling attack and can force the Patriots to move steps backer. Thus we expect Jamaica Tallawahs to win this match.
