JAM vs BR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report CPL 2023 Match 5 | JAM vs BR Dream11 Prediction Today | St Lucia Pitch Report

Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) will be up against Barbados Royals (BR) in the fifth game of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Jamaica won their previous match against Saint Lucia Kings (SLK), whereas Barbados lost their last encounter against SLK.

For Jamaica, Brandon King played a magnificent knock of 81 runs in 53 balls, with the other JT batters also chipping in with crucial runs. On the bowling front, Imad Wasim picked up three wickets, whereas Salman Irshad and Chris Green scalped two wickets each.

Meanwhile, Barbados had a poor start to the campaign, as they were outplayed by SLK in all the departments. Jason Holder grabbed four wickets, and Qais Ahmad also picked two, but the other bowlers leaked too many runs. While batting, the Barbados batters failed to weave partnerships, and their innings never got on track. As a result, they were bundled out for 147.

Jamaica Tallawahs will look to continue the winning run, while Barbados Royals will hope for a better show overall.

JAM vs BR Dream11 Prediction – Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Jamaica Tallawahs:

• Brandon King played a blistering knock of 81 runs in the previous game. He has made 80+ in his last two outings, showing that King is in fine form. Another good score can not be ruled out.
• Shamarh Brooks is a quality batter and has been consistent in the league. Last season, Brooks had an average of 40.17 and a strike rate of 153.50. He can again play a fine knock.
• Fabian Allen can fetch points with both bat and ball. He made 15 runs and failed to pick any wicket. However, Allen is a utility player and always performs in this league.
• Imad Wasim had a fine time in the last game. He dismissed three batters with the ball and later scored 19 runs with the willow. His bowling record at this venue is also quite good.
• Chris Green took two wickets in the last game. Overall he has five wickets at an economy rate of 7.11 in five innings in Saint Lucia. The track will also suit his bowling style.

Barbados Royals:

• Rakheem Cornwall is an experienced all-rounder who opens the innings and also bowls useful off-spins. He has 251 runs at a strike rate of 155.90, with two fifties, against Jamaica in the league. Rakheem also has four wickets against JT.
• Kyle Mayers is among the best all-rounders in the league. He made 16 runs in the previous game. Mayers can utilise the powerplay restrictions and provide a brisk start to the team. Not to forget that he is also a handy bowler.
• Rovman Powell was dismissed for a duck in the last game. However, his recent form has been very good. He made two 40+ scores against India recently.
• Jason Holder showed his potential in the last game. He picked up four wickets and can be backed to make runs.
• Nyeem Young was among the few positives with the bat for Barbados in the last game. He made 48 runs while batting in the lower order. Young is one of those players who can provide points with both bat and ball. Hence, he is a safe pick.
• Obed McCoy might enjoy bowling on this ground. The track is likely to be on the slower side, and McCoy has got several cutters to operate with. Expect a good outing for him.
