Preview:

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will play the St Lucia Zouks in the 7th game of the CPL 2020. While the former is placed at the last spot on the points table at this stage of the tournament, the latter is third on the table. The Patriots are yet to register a victory in the tournament and have lost both the games they played. They have got quite a few areas where there is a huge scope of improvement.

The Zouks, on the other hand, have bounced back after a loss in their first game. In a shortened 5-over chase, they defeated the defending champions – the Barbados Tridents, by 7 wickets. While the Patriots will look forward to registering their first win, the Zouks will not want to lose out on this momentum.
