Jamaica Tallawahs played well and earned a win against SKNP to place themselves at a decent position in the points table. Their win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the 29th August match was just their third, but it allowed them to enter in top-four. With 4 more games to go before the playoffs, they are decently placed now. Andre Russell is expected to play the next game, which will only strengthen the side, probably at the right time.
Wicket-keeper Glenn Phillips (72 runs not out) helped the team to post 147 runs in 20 overs. Though he struggled early, making 14 off the first 23, his 6 sixes took the team to a fighting total of 147. Jermaine Blackwood (27 runs) supported him a bit. The polished bowling enabled the side to wrap up SKNP for just 110 runs. Carlos Brathwaite was magical for his 3 wickets conceding just 11 runs, while Edwards, Lamichhane, and V Permaul took 2 wickets each. Mujeeb Ur Rahman was economical for his 1 wicket at the expense of just 12 runs.
Key Players: Andre Russell, Glenn Phillips, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Trinbago Knight Riders are the clear favourites in this tournament after winning all six matches. The prime reason for TKR’s success is that they have many match winners. Sunil Narine won them the first two matches, while Kieron Pollard, Colin Munro, and Darren Bravo all played their part in one or the other game. Pollard has strike rate of over 200 in CPL 2020.
After winning 5 in 5, TKR managed to keep their winning streak intact by defeating Barbados Tridents on Saturday. It was a close encounter though, and the winning margin was just 1 ball and two wickets in hand. When Kieron Pollard walked in to bat, TKR needed 87 runs from 44 balls, and five wickets in hand. The skipper had planned to take the game deep and his glittering inning of 72 runs in just 28 balls made it possible. The player of the match Pollard hit 2 fours while 54 of his runs came from his 9 sixes.

The venue for this match is Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. It is a multi-purpose stadium, that was completed and inaugurated in 2017. It hosted all three consecutive CPL finals since then.
In CPL 2020, 10 games are played at this venue, out of 5 times the team batting first has won and 5 times the team chasing a target has won. Around 150 to 160 batting first here is a very competitive score. The last three games here are won by the side batting first.
It is recommended to bat first after winning the toss.
Heat to head, both the teams look equally strong. With Andre Russell in playing XI, Jamaica Tallawahs are expected to offer some challenge to the unbeaten TKR. Just considering the head-to-head records of the last five matches, and this tournament’s performances of both the teams, Trinbago Knight Riders have an upper hand. Pollard’s side looks formidable at present.
We predict that Trinbago Knight Riders will defeat Jamaica Tallawahs.
