TEAMS PREVIEW
Jamaica Tallawahs Preview
Tallawahs have managed to win their opening match of the tournament but their batting lineup couldn’t perform well in the last fixture with just Brandon Kings stepping up & delivering with the bat in hand. While the rest of the players failed to get into the groove with the middle order succumbing to the fierce bowling attack of Kings. They will now expect a good show with the bat from Shamarh Brooks and Amir Jangoo at numbers 3 and 4. Their prolific lower order is stable with the presence of Reifier, Fabian Allen, and Imad Wasim but they need a blistering start to march towards victory in this fixture.
In the bowling department, all-rounders such as Kirk McKenzie opened the innings alongside Brandon King and looked in good touch as he went into attacking mode from the outset. They are fielding three bowling options with Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir leading their pace attack.
Jamaica Tallawahs Predicted Playing XI:
Brandon King (c), Amir Jangoo (wk), Fabian Allen, Imad Wasim, Shamarh Brooks, Raymon Reifer, Kirk McKenzie, Salman Irshad, Mohammad Amir, Chris Green, Nicholson Gordon
Barbados Royals Preview
Rovman Powell was led Tallawahs to a title triumph and is the captain of the Barbados Royals team in CPL 2023. Though the cpatain couldn’t get going in the first fixture & was dismissed for a duck at No 5 while chasing 202 runs. Though the team features Laurie Evans and Rassie van der Dussen, they weren’t selected in the playing XI for the last fixture. They could make a cut into the Playing Xi in this fixture while Dussen will be an asset for the Royals in the middle order. The lower order is promising with Powell, Jason Holder, and Donovan Ferreira coming in at 5, 6, and 7 respectively. All of them have plenty of experience & could amass crucial runs for their squad.
They have a valuable asset in Nyeen Young batting at No 8 who returned with figures of 48 off 39 runs. But he couldn’t deliver with balls in hand as he conceded 40 runs in his spell of 4 overs with 0 wickets. Their pave attack will be led by Obed McCoy and Jason Holder while their spin department will be led by Qais Ahmed.
Barbados Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Kyle Mayers, Rahkeem Cornwall, Kevin Wickham, Rovman Powell (c), Donavon Ferreira (wk), Jason Holder, Justin Greaves, Joshua Bishop, Qais Ahmad, Nyeem Young, Obed McCoy
Pitch & Weather Conditions
The wicket is batter friendly as the ball comes nicely on the bat & batters can make strokes easily. The spinners have enjoyed a good run on this pitch in their first two fixtures & its expected to be the same in today’s fixture as well. Both of the first two fixtures of the CPL 2023 went in favor of batting first. And the team batting first could easily post a score of 185-200 on board. Thus a team winning the toss should opt to bat first.
Winning Prediction
Both the teams look promising & have match-winners in their lineup. But looking at the way Tallawahs bounced back in the first fixture & register a win against St Lucia Kings, they look like favorites to win this clash.
