CPL 2020 Match 21: JT vs TKR Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | JAM vs TKR Dream11 Prediction Today 1 September 2020 | Jamaica Tallawahs vs Trinbago Knight Riders Key Players | Tarouba Pitch Report

CPL 2020 returns to Tarouba, and the final stretch of the group stage begins with a vital game.

Jamaica Tallawahs can create some significant breathing space between them and Barbados Tridents. The Tallawahs are currently on six points after six matches, and can move four points clear of the struggling Tridents, who are currently on four points. However, they have the most difficult test, needing to beat the undefeated Trinbago Knight Riders to further cement their top four spot.

JT are coming off a dominant victory against the St. Kitts Nevis and Patriots. Despite Andre Russell’s absence, they did well in that game, but will want more consistent performances as they are still somewhat dependent on Glenn Phillips and one or two others to score the runs. Asif Ali started the tournament impressively but hasn’t capitalized on it. Same with skipper Rovman Powell. Carlos Braithwaite and Chadwick Walton are yet to perform with the bat although Braithwaite is improving with the ball. Mujeeb and Sandeep, along with Fidel Edwards have performed brilliantly. They’ll need some good assistance from the batters in this game as they are against the unbeaten Knight Riders, of which their bowlers can increase pressure.

TKR are on a roll this season. They are the only unbeaten side in this tournament with six wins a row. Their last win was courtesy of the all-time great T20 knocks from Kieron Pollard, which highlights the incredible depth they have. Also, with Colin Munro, Lendl Simmons and Darren Bravo all capable of performing even better, the picture is looking bright for TKR.

In addition, Jayden Seales, Kharry Pierre, and Fawad Ahmed have performed quite well in all six games. Can they keep the momentum going?

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

  • Andre Russell is a beast against TKR. He has 515 runs and 20 wickets. He’s leading the batting and bowling charts when these two sides play. He averages 51.50 and strikes at 189.34 against TKR. Must pick in your Dream11 team if he plays.
  • Colin Munro has scored 450 runs against Jamaica and averages 64.29 – the highest in TKR vs JT matches.
  • Darren Bravo has 340 runs against JT. Also, Bravo has achieved three not outs in six innings in CPL 2020 (153 runs, avg. 51.00).
  • Glenn Phillips has 212 runs against TKR. He scored a brilliant 79 in the last game against the Patriots. He also scored 58 against TKR in the first match this season, and is the current top-scorer in CPL 2020 (207 runs, avg. 41.40, SR 127.77).
  • Kieron Pollard is in great form. He scored a brilliant 72 in 28 balls against the Tridents with nine sixes and two fours.
  • Mujeeb and Lamichhane will be a big threat to the TKR batters in this game. Mujeeb is having a superb tournament so far, taking the most wickets (13).

Possible Playing 11

It remains to be seen whether Sunil Narine will be fit for this match. Also, Dwayne Bravo missed TKR’s last game, so it remains to be seen if he plays, too.

Tarouba Pitch and Weather Report

The CPL caravan is back in Tarouba and all the remaining matches will be played in The Brian Lara Stadium. The pitch as seen before will help the spinners and pacers with variations. This match will be after a week’s break on this ground so it may also have something for the batters but it will be on the slower side.

Also, there is a chance of thunderstorms during the day, so the team who wins the toss could look to chase.

Dream11 Prediction

Teams are focusing on player match-ups. So, Mujeeb, Lamichhane, Pierre, Akeal Hossain, and Sikandar Raza could be good picks for this game.

Match Prediction

Both teams are coming off a win in their last game but Trinbago is looking very balanced and has performed consistently. Jamaica’s batters will need to step up in this game if they have to defeat this mighty TKR side. It will be a good contest between these two sides.
