The Trinidad wicket will be expected to be a very good batting track along with consistent pace and bounce. While it will be a batting paradise, the spinners are also expected to get some purchase from this wicket and the surface will also be good for batting in the second innings. Nonetheless, the captain winning the toss will be electing to bat first.

Rovman Powell has been leading the Jamaica Tallawahs by example and has showcased consistent performances with the bat so far.
