What's the match?

Jamaica Tallawahs take on Trinbago Knight Riders in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to take place at 10am local time (GMT-5) on Saturday, September 10.

Where is the match being played?

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

Who's got the form?

Jamaica Tallawahs made a bright start to the 2022 campaign, beating St Kitts & Nevis Patriots (47 runs) and Guyana Amazon Warriors (four wickets) but came unstuck against St Lucia Kings, losing by two wickets after the home side chased down 164 off the penultimate delivery of the match.

Trinbago Knight Riders, meanwhile, won their tournament opener against St Lucia, picking up a three-wicket win in Basseterre, but have been hampered by the rain since then. Their clash with St Kitts was abandoned without a ball being bowled while against Barbados Royals, their chase was curtailed after eight overs (they were 51 for 7) to hand the Royals an 80-run DLS win.

With the bat, Brandon King has scored 140 runs at a strike rate of 141.21 for Jamaica while Mohammad Amir has taken a team-leading seven wickets. For TKR, Tion Webster's 65 runs are enough to see him top the charts while Akeal Hosein has a team-leading four wickets despite playing just one match.

What's the match-up to watch?

Runs have proved hard to come by for TKR this season and against Barbados Royals they struggled with the bat, reaching 51 for 7 off eight overs before the rain set in. Colin Munro was their highest run scorer with 12.

And unfortunately for the four-time champions, Jamaica Tallawahs have an economical core to their bowling attack. Pakistan quick Mohammad Amir has taken seven wickets and conceded just 5.83 runs per over, offspinner Chris Green has an economy of 4.54 and impressive figures of 0 for 5 against Guyana Amazon Warriors and spinner Imad Wasim has four wickets and has conceded a run a ball.

What's the news from the camps?

TKR are missing Maheesh Theekshana (Asia Cup) but their batting has been boosted by the arrival of Colin Munro. Akeal Hosein, however, missed their clash with Barbados Royals and remains an injury concern after falling in their opening matches.

Sandeep Lamichhane is available for Jamaica Tallawahs.
