Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for the third playoff of the Caribbean Premier League 2016 between Jamaica Tallawahs and Trinbago Knight Riders...
Gayle and Sangakkara are their biggest worries at the moment in terms of batting performance. Though both are ranking among the tournament's top 10 batsmen, they haven't been able to produce match-winning innings in recent games. On their day, they can quickly take the game away from the opposition and the Tallawahs will want these two to fire tonight along with handy contributions from Walton and Powell.
Pace bowling is going to depend entirely on Kesrick Williams and Andre Russell. Williams recorded his best bowling figures of the season against the Warriors in the last match with four wickets for 37 runs. Spin duo Shakib and Wasim will have a big role to play and the Tallawahs will need these two to support Williams and Russell in order to push the Knight Riders on the back foot.
After scoring in single digits for three consecutive games, McCullum has played two unbeaten innings of 43 of 49 in the last couple of matches. The Kiwi has returned to form and could make the most runs for the Knight Riders. Amla and Munro have been the most consistent of all and a good knock from them at the top will put the team into a healthy position.
Their skipper Dwayne Bravo can contribute both with the bat and the ball. With 20 wickets so far, he is one of the leading wicket-takers this year and he can be expected to cause some damage in the middle stage of the innings as well as at the death. Sunil Narine is unarguably the best option they have in their spin department. It has been difficult to score against him and things may not look too good for the Tallawahs if he's at his best.
As far as head-to-head record goes, Jamaica Tallawahs have done better with six wins in nine matches. They also won both their group games against the Knight Riders which will certainly give them more confidence going into this knockout clash. The momentum, however, is going to be with the Knight Riders who will be coming with back-to-back wins as opposed to the Tallawahs who have defeats in their last three games.
Both teams have an excellent CPL history and big international names in their side. But going by the current form, we believe that Trinbago Knight Riders stand a better chance of making it to the final.
