Both Trinbago and Jamaica are coming off from a win. So this match going to be a high voltage match.
Who are the Favorites?
It’s too early in the tournament to pick a favorite, but looking at the team on paper, Trinbago Knight Riders seem to have an edge. They’re a more balanced side with Narine, Simmons, Bravo, and Pollard. Tallawahs will look at Mujeeb, Russell, Asif Ali, and Glenn Phillips to deliver in crunch situations.
JT will also have to overcome a psychological battle in that they’ve lost three times in a row against TKR. But if we look closely, then the performance of Narine can decide the fate of the match to a certain degree. So if Tallawahs can get him within the first five to six overs, the match will turn in their favor.
