Probable Playing XIs
Jamaica Tallawahs had a disappointing outing in the last game and also their top-order collapsed which dented their chances to post a big score despite efforts from Brathwaite and Imad Wasim in the middle-order. Andre Russell also had a good knock with the bat but they would want the young top-order batsman like Kennar Lewis, Kirk Mckenzie, Haider Ali, and skipper Rovman Powell to play much better than what they did the last match. Chadwick Walton could make a comeback after missing the last game due to injury.
Trinbago Knight Riders will want to repeat their performance from the other night against the Tallawahs where their players came good in all departments. Colin Munro got a start and supported Lendl Simmons whose 70 was the difference in the chase. They will happy with the bowling performance of Akeal Hosein, and the veterans Ravi Rampaul, Sunil Narine.
