TKR vs JAM Dream11 : Bottom of the table Jamaica Tallawahs face off against an extremely daunting Trinbago Knight Riders outfit today
Advertisement
For Jamaica Tallawahs, this edition of the Caribbean Premier League is turning out to be an absolutely sordid affair. Marred by lacklustre bowling displays and an ability to rake up hefty totals on a consistent basis, the side find themselves entrapped in a howler of turmoil, one which sees them firmly planted in the bottom of the points tally.
Losing yesterday’s clash by 5 wickets to St Lucia Zouks as their 170 was chased down with disdain by the opposition in just 16.4 overs, Jamaica Tallawahs ended up slipping to their third successive defeat. It saw them remain the only side to yet win a match in the ongoing edition of CPL 7, an ordeal they know they need to snap out of the earliest if they are to have any chance of making it through to the semi-finals.
Today’s match though is the last thing the side would have wanted to face. Playing their second clash in the space of as many days as they become the latest side to be involved in the congested schedule, the side are up against the current champions who are sparing no expenses in laying down their credentials for a third consecutive title. Up against Trinbago Knight Riders today, the side are squaring off against a unit who are yet to lose a match, having won all three of their contests.
It’s not just been the three wins which have impressed from the side but the manner in which they have come about which has made heads turn. The side have showed their tenacity in both the batting and bowling departments, showing the requisite all round nature of their squad needed to go the distance and wrap their hands around the glistening trophy.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
Yesterday’s match over here showed that this track is perfect for batting. The conditions prevelant will massively favour the batsmen with the surface paired with the small boundaries allowing the batters to crunch their way to the fence and pile on a healthy score in this one.
Despite this being the second match over here in the space of just a day, the surface will stay solid as ever for the batsmen, a hard and nice track which will see the ball come onto the bat perfectly. The side winning the toss will be looking to bat first and get anything close to 200.

TKR vs JAM Match Prediction
With the way this season is taking shape for Jamaica Tallawahs, winning today’s encounter looks extremely unlikely for them. They are up against a stoutheaded outfit, one filled with exceptional names in both the batting and bowling departments, a way too strong side for them to register a win against.
What will eventually lead to their demise is the runs the opposition will pile up, one they’ll find extremely easy to do given the identity of their bowling unit.

TKR vs JAM Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
He ended up as the leading run getter for his side in the previous edition of the league and has been in magnificent form this time around as well. With a 38 ball half-century in the previous match, Denesh Ramdin becomes the first player to come into our Dream 11 side from Trinbago Knight Riders while we are also opting for the opposition’s wicket-keeper.
Glenn Phillips has been pivotal for Jamaica Tallawahs, one of their most consistent bats, a narrative he did justice to yesterday as well with an astounding 58 run knock. He should score good today as well with this surface extremely good for the batsmen.
TKR vs JAM Dream11 Batsmen
Chris Gayle was sent back to the pavilion off the first ball yesterday but having scored 100 in the clash prior to that, we are going to keep him in our side for this match as well. Chadwick Walton comes in from the side as well while from the opposition we have chosen to get in their opener Colin Munro who’ll be playing his first match for the side today.
He played some good innings recently in the T20 arena, ones which helped quell his harrowing form from the World Cup and with the shortest format of the game being one he thrives immensely him, a colossal score from his bat is way too likely today.
TKR vs JAM Dream11 All-Rounders
We finally compensate our side with the bats from Trinbago Knight Riders, choosing their opener Sunil Narine first. His escalated role in the batting order plus ascertained four overs with the ball see him come bearing the pinch perfect identity of an all-rounder, one we always scour for first when building this facet.
Jimmy Neesham has enjoyed is best ever year in the cricketing fraternity, being lauded for his tenacity and ability to ply his skill set in tandem with both the bat and ball. He got two wickets in the previous match, making him an instant pick while the 44 runs with 22 balls yesterday se us pick Rovman Powell from the other side.
TKR vs JAM Dream11 Bowling Order
Only the one pick for us from Jamaica Tallawahs with the side’s bowling unit being such dismal and harrowing. Shamar Springer is bound to go for runs but his role in the death overs will see him snare wickets and add to the two he picked up yesterday as well.
On the other had we have picked up the formidable duo of Khary Pierre and Mohammad Hasnain with Tallawahs always prone to stumbling and collapsing while trying to up the ante.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Phillips is our side’s captain for this match while Neesham has been made the vice-captain.
