JAM vs SKN Dream11 prediction: This is a context between 2 unique teams. One team haven’t used their biggest match winner to his full effect, meanwhile the other team has tried almost all possible ways and yet couldn’t win matches. That’s the state of CPL so far. At the start of the tournament, at least 3 teams were excellent on paper and it was expected to be a tightly contested tournament but due to some lackluster tactics from the teams, it has been a rather disappointing one so far.
JAM finally played the best T20 batsman in Andre Russell in their previous game against TKR but for some reason, they were once again reluctant to send him higher up the order and finally sent him when even superman found it difficult to catch up with the required rate. Andre Russell was unbeaten om 50 of 23 balls chasing 185. These are things that happen only in CPL.
SKN have run out of gas is the last word that can be said about them. They have tried all possible combinations and yet, the opposition teams are quite easily defeating them without breaking the sweat.

JAM Team news
Injury unavailability
• No injury announcement from JAM side
Playing combination and expected changes
• Jamaica played their full strength squad against TKR and they are expected to continue with Glenn Phillips and Chadwick Walton as openers. Though there is every chance that they might replace Chadwick Walton with either Ramaal Lewis or Nicholas Kirton as Walton has been in horrendous form.
• Their top and middle order looks settled with Jermaine Blackwood, Rovman Powell, Asif Ali, Kieron Pollard and Carlos Brathwaite.
• Spin has been their strong forte in this season and the spin twins of Sandeep Lamichchane and Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman will continue as their lead spinners
• In the last game, they didn’t have any 6th bowling option at all as Andre Russell was playing as a pure batsman and Rovman Powell bowled 4 overs for 48 runs that has potentially cost them their game. Hence, they might replace Nkrumah Bonner with either Oshane Thomas or Veerasammy Permaul. Fidel Edwards will continue to be their lead pacer.
SKN Team news
Injury unavailability
• No injury announcement from SKN side
Playing combination and expected changes
• They played their best possible 11 against TKR but fell short by 59 runs. The struggling opener Chris Lynn battled hard for his 34 runs but he took 46 balls and the other opener Evin Lewis hasn’t been consistent either. They don’t have options and they are expected to persist with them.
• Joshua Da Silva, Ben Dunk and Denesh Ramdin form their core middle order.
• Imran Khan and Jon-Russ-Jagessar will be their lead spinners.
• Rayad Emrit, Alzarri Joseph and Sheldon Cottrell will be their pace trio along with Dominic Drakes as support bowler.

Captain and vice-captain
Glenn Phillips: He is the best option when it comes to captaincy for small leagues in Dream11. He averages 48 runs per game in this season and has scored 248 so far. Hr opens the batting and can pace the innings as he likes. He scored 79 runs when these two teams met last time around.
Andre Russell: Though this man is playing as a pure batsman, his stocks are very high even for a bastman as he is the best T20 player in the world for a reason. Andre Russell has 166 runs in 5 games coning in at #7, so one can imagine what damage he can do if he comes up the order
Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman: Thr highest wicket-taker so far with 13 wickets at an astonishing average of 9.15 runs per wicket. He is a legit captaincy option as well
X-factors and value picks
Dominic Drakes: He can be a utility pick in grand leagues. He played his first game against TKR and was quite impressive with the ball as he picked up 2 wickets with his left arm angle. He also bats at #6 which gives him dual value. Ideally he should have been playing from the beginning of the tournament because he provides that much needed balance to the team.
Jermaine Blackwood: He can be a surprise pick as far as grand leagues are concerned. Remember, grand leagues are not won by consistent players but one time wonders. Blackwood has been showing glimpses of what he can do and today can be his day.
Carlos Brathwaite: He is their 2nd seamer and is bound to bowl his full quota of 4 overs with the ball. He is a smart operator with the ball and gets the job done with the ball. He has picked 9 wickets so far.
