CPL 2020 Match 14: BT vs JT Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | BAR vs JAM Dream11 Prediction Today | Barbados Tridents vs Jamaica Tallawahs Key Players | Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report
One-third of CPL 2020 is completed and the tournament has well and truly gathered momentum. In match 14 of the tournament, Barbados Tridents take on Jamaica Tallawahs in what promises to be an exciting encounter.
Both teams are languishing in the bottom half of the points table and need to up the ante to be in the reckoning for a playoff spot. While the Tallawahs have won and lost two apiece, the Tridents have a solitary win so far. In spite of the big names both the teams boast of, their performances on the field have been lukewarm.
Barbados Tridents’ captain Jason Holder got a lot of flack for his captaincy, and understandably so as he bowled only eight overs of the spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mitchell Santner and Hayden Walsh whilst not giving an over to Ashley Nurse as the Patriots chased a total of 152. The batting line-up too has lacked a stand out performer so far and Tridents will hope that Anderson, Hope or Charles step up and deliver the goods.
As for the Tallawahs, they have been inconsistent in the tournament so far but if the middle order of Asif Ali, Andre Russell and Rovman Powell play to their potential, which they have only shown glimpses of so far, they can be a dangerous side. With the spinners, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichhane, continuing to wreck havoc, they can become title contenders.
Against Guyana in the previous game, the Tridents were clinical with Mujeeb and Edwards picking three wickets each and Lamichhane bowling an economical spell of three RPO. Glenn Phillips gave a good start while Bonner and Russell made sure they chased the paltry target of 109 with ease after an aberration in the middle overs as they were reduced to 53-4.
Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
- Andre Russell has not quite been the beast he is in the tournament so far, but in the last couple of games he seems to be on his way to rediscovering his mojo. He has scored 52* (37) and 23* (20) in his past two games.
- Glenn Philips has been a consistent performer as he has contributed with starts for the Tallawahs and will be a threat for the Tridents. He is currently the third-highest scorer in CPL 2020 with 128 (avg. 32.00, SR 133.33).
- Chadwick Walton is the leading run scorer in the matches between the two teams, having scored 345 runs so far.
- Mujeeb ur Rahman was unplayable in the previous game and with the form he is in, he has the potential of running through the Tridents lineup. He has taken nine wickets in four games in CPL 2020 at an extraordinary economy rate of 4.18.
- 38 year-old Fidel Edwards has been one of the most impressive new ball bowlers so far in CPL 2020. The battle with Johnson Charles and Shai Hope will be one to watch for. He took 3/30 yesterday vs Guyana.
- Jason Holder- The all-rounder’s performance as a bowler has been satisfactory but his decisions as captain especially in the last game were baffling and it will be interesting to see how he comes back.
- Rashid Khan was economical in the previous game and his battle with Russell, Ali and Powell can be a match deciding factor.

Match Prediction
The spin duo of Lamichhane and Mujeeb have been consistent and pose a threat to the Tridents’ lineup. But the battle between the Trident’s spinners and the Jamaican middle order power hitters is what will decide the game. Jamaica Tallwahs will fancy their chances going into this encounter.
