What's the match?

St Lucia Kings take on Jamaica Tallawahs in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to take place at 7pm local time (GMT-5) on Wednesday, September 7.

Where is the match being played?

This game is due to be staged at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia.

Who's got the form?

This is bottom against top, with Tallawahs unbeaten and Kings struggling without a point on the board.

Brandon King's regeneration after leaving Guyana Amazon Warriors has started well; he's the leading run-scorer in the competition, providing the necessary support to Rovman Powell, Jamaica's captain, who is yet to be dismissed in two wins over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Guyana Amazon Warriors.

St Lucia were reduced to 7 for 4 in their last game, a forlorn chase against Barbados Royals that started badly, briefly looked it might be saved by rain, and then almost had a remarkable ending. They could at least be encouraged by Faf du Plessis' 20-ball 47 in his first game of the tournament.

What's the match-up to watch?

Rovman Powell's knock against Guyana Amazon Warriors was an effort of supreme maturity, blocking back the spinners for all he was worth - he made just eight runs in 24 balls against Imran Tahir, Tabraiz Shamsi and Gudakesh Motie - before unleashing against the seamers, smashing 36 in just 14 deliveries.

A confident side, with early runs also for Brandon King and Kennar Lewis, the battle between Powell's batters and St Lucia's bowling attack - featuring Rahkeem Cornwall, Roston Chase, Preston McSween, Alzarri Joseph, Scott Kuggeleijn and David Wiese - promises to be intriguing.

In return, though, Wiese and Tim David bring plenty of middle-order firepower. With two defeats to start the competition, Kings could do with the overseas duo finding form before it's too late.

What's the news from the camps?

Tallawahs captain Rovman Powell, who played so brilliantly in the win over Guyana Amazon Warriors, is nursing a bruised shin but hopes to be fit. His unbeaten 44 is why Jamaica remain unbeaten after two games. Leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has arrrived.

For St Lucia Kings, Faf du Plessis, Tim David and David Wiese all made their first appearances of the tournament on Sunday after arriving from The Hundred.
