Jamaica Tallawahs take on Barbados Royals in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
The match is scheduled to take place at 10am local time (GMT-5) on Sunday, September 11.
This game is due to be staged at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia.
Jamaica Tallawahs come into the game with three wins in four games. They overcame St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders to give them six points from four games.
Their only setback came against St Lucia Kings, losing in a tight finish by two wickets with a single delivery remaining.
Barbados Royals could not have started much better, winning all four of their matches to top the table.
They started with a thumping win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, before doing the double over St Lucia Kings either side of an 80-run hammering of Tribago Knight Riders.

Tallawahs have been supercharged in the middle order by Rovman Powell, who has struck 30*, 44* and 67 in three of his four CPL innings.
The middle of those - a 38-ball knock that helped beat the Warriors - was underpinned by his ability to see off the spin threat of Imran Tahir, Tabraiz Shamsi and Gudakesh Motie.
An improvement against spin came after working with Robert Samuels, who has helped him use his feet and deploy the sweep to get out of trouble.
"The good thing is Robert Samuels has known me from [since] I was a child," he said. "He has been my coach for a very long time now. I realised at the international level that I had a little bit of a problem with spin and all these days he sat down with me and gave me better options in playing spin. Just tells me to continue to trust myself and trust my defence because a lot of times that is our downfall.
"When the spin gets on top of us, as big-hitters or as batters, we don't trust our defence or technique. If we can do that long enough… and as I said, he gave me more options in dealing with spin and those options seem to be working so far. So, hopefully, more conversations with Robert and working with him will provide [even] more options and help me during the course of my career."
The key clash in the middle overs could well come against Hayden Walsh, who took 2 for 19 in the win over Kings, a return that included 11 dots balls and just two boundaries.
The 30-year-old isn't always trusted but his legbreaks will provide a different challenge to the in-form Powell.
Tallawahs are without Sandeep Lamichhane after he returned to Nepal to face an allegation of rape. No replacement has been confirmed and it is not yet clear if he will return to the squad.
