JAM vs TKR Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket Jamaica Tallawahs vs Trinbago Knight Riders CPL T20 1 September

JAM vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: As we move into the last week of group matches in this year’s Caribbean Premier League, the action now shifts back to The Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba. Jamaica Tallawahs will take on Trinbago Knight Riders in 21^st match of the season today. This will be an important game for the Tallawahs for their quest to the semifinals. We will preview the match in our Dream11 fantasy preview.

Jamaica Tallawahs are coming off fresh from a win against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in their last match. Batting first, Glenn Phillips and Nkrumah Bonner began on a watchful note and put on a decent opening stand. Jermaine Blackwood also contributed but Glenn Phillips fought a lone battle against the Patriots bowlers and helped Jamaica put on 147 runs on the board. In reply, all the bowlers bowled accordingly to the plans and pegged back St Kitts and Nevis at regular intervals. Sandeep Lamichhane, Veerasammy Permaul and Fidel Edwards took a couple of wickets each while Carlos Brathwaite picked up 3 scalps. Jamaica Tallawahs won the match by 37 runs comfortably.

Trinbago Knight Riders are the only unbeaten team in the competition so far and have already secured their semifinal berth. They pulled out a heist from nowhere in the last match thanks to their skipper Kieron Pollard. Bowling first, Akeal Hosein, Jayden Seales and Sikandar Raza took two wickets each to restrict Barbados Tridents to 148 runs. That was still a very good total keeping in mind the slow conditions at Queen’s Park Oval. In reply, only Lendl Simmons displayed a resistance as he saw a collapse on the other end. TKR were 6-77 at one stage and were looking out of ideas in the chase. But Kieron Pollard put on a six-hitting masterclass to slam 72 runs from just 28 deliveries. This knock included 9 towering sixes and 2 boundaries. Khary Pierre finished off the job in the last over to bag another two points for his team.

In head-to-head comparisons, Jamaica Tallawahs are slightly ahead with 9 wins over Trinbago Knight Riders while TKR have managed to beat the Tallawahs on 8 occasions. In last 5 matches, TKR are dominant with 4 wins over their rivals. In the first meeting this year, TKR defeated the Tallawahs by 7 wickets at the same venue.  

Pitch and Conditions

The weather forecast for Tuesday is not looking great in Tarouba currently. Thunderstorms are predicted on the match-day and we can only hope for this clearing out very soon in the morning. In terms of playing conditions, pitches in the first week here were slightly better for batting than the ones at Queen’s Park Oval. We can expect the same here this week but still there will be some help for the slower bowlers.

JAM vs TKR Dream11 Team Prediction

Let’s take a look at the expected lineups for both the teams in today match prediction.

Jamaica Tallawahs Squad

Rovman Powell (C), Glenn Phillips (wk), Chadwick Walton, Jermaine Blackwood, Andre Russell, Asif Ali, Carlos Brathwaite, Ryan Persaud, Oshane Thomas, Sandeep Lamichhane, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fidel Edwards, Ramaal Lewis, Veerasammy Permaul, Preston McSween, Nicholas Kirton, Nkrumah Bonner

Jamaica Tallawahs Team News

• Jamaica Tallawahs are expected to field an unchanged playing XI from the last match.
• They decided to open with Nkrumah Bonner in the last match while pushing Chadwick Walton back in the lower order. Glenn Phillips will be looking to continue his form in this match as well.
• Jermaine Blackwood and Asif Ali will be their middle order options but the form of captain Rovman Powell and Carlos Brathwaite with the bat is a major concern for the team management with the clouds over Andre Russell’s availability.
•  Fidel Edwards will be the only fast bowler along with the spin cartel of Veerasammy Permaul, Sandeep Lamichhane and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News

• Trinbago Knight Riders are also likely to play with the same playing XI from the last match.
• Lendl Simmons found some touch in the last match but needs to consolidate the same as we move towards the business end of the tournament. Tion Webster will get another opportunity at the top at least for this match.

• Akeal Hosein, Khary Pierre and Fawad Ahmed will be the specialist spinners while Jayden Seales will take care of pace-bowling duties along with the all-rounders.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Glenn Phillips is an obvious pick for the captaincy position for today’s match. He has found his form again after a couple of failures in earlier matches. He is the highest run-scorer in the league so far this year with 207 runs from 6 innings.
• Sandeep Lamichhane has enjoyed his time at CPL so far this year. With pitches perfectly suited to his style of bowling, he is among the wickets in all the matches he played till now. He has taken 9 wickets this year.
• Kieron Pollard is one of the biggest match-winners in T20 cricket and he again proved it in the last match against the Tridents. He blasted off 72 runs from 28 balls in that match and looking all set to repeat the same performance in today’s match.

For Grand Leagues

• Mujeeb Ur Raman is a safe option for the grand leagues from Jamaica Tallawahs. He is sitting at the top in terms of wickets taken during this season among all the bowlers with 13 wickets.
• Khary Pierre has not made any harm to his reputation so far this year. He has improved in terms of control with left-arm spin and bowling at a perfect speed for these pitches. He has also contributed with useful knocks with the bat.
• Darren Bravo has been an underrated player in T20 cricket. He is a prolific six-hitter once he is set and can take spinners on for fun in the middle overs. He can be a trump-card for TKR to tackle the Tallawahs spinners today.

Who will win JAM vs TKR Today Match Prediction?

As per Dream11 predictions, Trinbago Knight Riders will start as favourites for this match against Jamaica Tallawahs. But the Tallawahs do have a very strong spin brigade in their ranks and if they can control the TKR middle-order, then things may happen for Jamaica Tallawahs.
