It seems that the Jamaica Tallawahs have lost their footing, losing two of their last three games. Most importantly, the business end of the tournament is approaching and now is not the time to be at your worst. They were beaten by Trinbago Knight Riders in their last game and quite comprehensively at that too. Now, they not only have revenge on their mind but would also look to get a crucial win to add to their points tally and remain in the hunt for a semi-finals berth.
On the other hand, Trinbago Knight Riders, who haven’t really clicked in this tournament, would like to fire in all cylinders with the kind of line-up they have. Out of the six games, they have won only three and hence they themselves can’t risk losing a few.
Hence, it is going to be a riveting affair between two sides loaded with big hitters like Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite and Tim Seifert, there is only one thing that can be expected and it is the explosion.

The pitch at Basseterre has been getting slow with each passing day, although some wickets are also showing encouraging stuff like the 200 plus score by St Lucia Kings. Thus to expect what a wicket would do is not an easy job, but one thing issue that if it is going to be a new wicket, chances of which are very high since the game is after a day’s break, then a run-scoring wicket would be a display.
The weather at Warner Park will remain hot and humid with humidity of 76% at the time of the start of the match. The temperatures would remain in the lower thirties with the moderate breeze blowing. A captain winning the toss would look to bowl first.
