This will be the second match of the Caribbean premier league 2016 for Patriots. They have played their first match against Guyana Amazon Warriors where in a dramatic finish GAW won the game with 4 wickets on the second last ball of the 20th over. The South African cricketer Faf du Plessis is leading the team and after losing first match he will be more determinant for the second match.
If we look at the batting line up, Faf will open the innings with Lendl Simmons. Both are very aggressive batsman and known for their quick fire innings. Lendl Simmons is the batsman who has played 82 runs innings in the semi final of the World T20 2016 and made India out of the tournament.

JT have won the inaugural season of the Caribbean Premier League in 2013 but from there they have never reached to finals. This year the team will be full of confidence try to take the title home.
In the batting unit the Sixer King Gayle will be holding the one end and on the other end legendary Kumar Sangakkara will be playing his classic shots. They have all-rounder like Bangladeshi Shakib Al-Hasan, One of the finest all-rounder Andre Russell who can finish the game with in few deliveries will play a vital role in the middle order of Tallawahs with Chadwick Walton and young Alex Ross. In the bowling department Dale Styen has joined the time this year which will surely strengthened their bowling unit.
