If TKR Bats First

Nicholas Pooran 

Nicholas Pooran scored a brilliant century in the last game against Barbados. He is in red-hot form and will look to score big in this game as well. He will have to tackle Chris Green's off-spin and he could be in for another big score if he does that. Pooran will be an excellent C/VC choice. 

Andre Russell

If JAM Bats First

Brandon King

Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim has performed very consistently with both bat and ball. He will be amongst the most popular C/VC pick in this game. He will bowl his full quota and will bat in the middle order. He will fetch points from batting and bowling both.
