Preview:

Jamaica Tallawahs are the only team to open their points tally till date as they suffered defeats in all three matches they played thus far. The Tallawahs hoped that the home-leg matches will bring change to the fortunes after losing their first two matches. However, they ended up on the wrong side once against as the St Lucia Zouks chased down the target of 171 as the openers Rahkeem Cornwall (75) and Andre Fletcher (47*) added 111 in only 8.4 overs.

Their bowling has been miserable as they conceded at a rate of 9.5 and more in all the three matches. The Tallawahs even lost while defending 242, the 2nd biggest chase in the T20 history. Their 2nd home game will be against the defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders who won all three matches in this season. Jamaica franchise played their first game of the season against TKR only where they fell 22 runs short in a big chase.

Weather Condition/Report:

The forecast weather for Friday is much better than on Thursday. The skies are to be clear throughout the day and high temperatures are expected. There are chances of the showers and drizzle in the afternoon but could disappear by the start of the match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Once again, the team batting first finishes with 170 at the Kingston’s Sabina Park. However, the hosts were set towards 220 at halfway stage but the injury to Andre Russell and lack of depth cost them at least 30 runs. Despite the short straight boundaries, chasing a big target might not be easy at this venue. The team batting first will surely aim 200 as a winning score.

Average first innings score: 173 (CPL matches since 2017)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 4, Lost – 3

Top Picks:

The conditions at the Sabina Park on Friday were similar to that of Auckland’s Eden Park. Both the venues have the short straight boundaries and pitches are pace-friendly. Glenn Phillips, who plays for Auckland, batted brilliantly in the familiar conditions. Colin Munro, another player from Auckland, could well do a good job with the bat. Rovman Powell will have added responsibility in the middle-order in the absence of Andre Russell.
