Jamaica Tallawahs Team News & Playing 11
Lendl Simmons, Kumar Sangakkara and Rovman Powell will be the biggest hopes for the Tallawahs when it comes to batting. Simmons is likely to open the batting and he has the ability to take the game away very quickly from the opposition with his aggression. Shakib Al Hasan will be crucial with his allround skills while Imad Wasim will be the danger man with the ball.
Barbados Tridents Team News & Playing 11
Shoaib Malik has scored the most runs for the Tridents in the CPL while Kieron Pollard too has been one of the more consistent batters in the side. While the team will expect these two to deliver the goods with the bat, they will look to Ravi Rampaul to make early inroads into the Tallawahs batting lineup. With 41 wickets in the tournament, the pacer is the Tridents' most successful bowler.
Jamaica vs Barbados Betting Odds
Despite being the most successful team in the Caribbean Premier League with two title wins to their name, it is odd to see Jamaica Tallawahs as outsiders for this game at 2.08 with Betfair and 2.10 with Bet365. The only rational explanation behind it seems to be their underwhelming performances against Barbados Tridents in recent times with just one win from the past five encounters. The Tridents are favorites to win at 1.71 with 1xbet and 1.72 with Bet365.
Jamaica vs Barbados Prediction
Jamaica Tallawahs will gain confidence from the fact that they fared much better than Barbados Tridents in the previous season. However, the defending champions don't have an impressive record against the latter which could play on the back of their mind. The Tridents beat them in 2014 and then did the double over them the following season. Although both sides appear evenly matched this time, we predict Barbados Tridents to win this fixture.
Final Verdict: Back Barbados Tridents to beat Jamaica Tallawahs at 1.71 with 1xbet and 1.72 with Bet365.
