Team News

Jamaica Tallawahs

Jamaica Tallawahs have been in decent form in the CPL, winning two out of their three matches so far. The Tallawahs looked short with the bat before the season began but, the likes of Rovman Powell and Brandon King have excelled with the bat, and they have put all the doubters to rest. The Tallawahs bowlers have been on fire as well, with Mohammad Amir and Chris Green amongst the wickets.

Trinbago Knight Riders

This star-studded Trinbago side will look to get their second win against an in-form Jamaica Tallawahs. There is quality on both sides which should make this a star-studded contest. They will look to put their best foot forward, with Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard being key to their fortunes. With two valuable points at stake, a high-voltage clash is on the cards.
