What's the match?

Trinbago Knight Riders 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 Saturday, September 17.

Where is the match being played?

This game is due to be staged at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Trinidad.

Who's got the form?

Neither team, really.

On paper, Jamaica Tallawahs are flying high in second position after seven matches but have only won two of their last five. That said, they did defeat Barbados Royals in their most recent outing, completing a six-run DLS win to end the Royals' six-match unbeaten run.

TKR, meanwhile, are in fourth position, with two wins from six matches. After winning their opening match, the four-time champions lost three of their next four (the other match ended in no result) before finally getting points on the board against Guyana Amazon Warriors. They completed a 26-run win on Wednesday, with Sunil Narine starring with bat and ball.

When the two sides met earlier in the competition, Jamaica Tallawahs won by 34 runs.

What's the match-up to watch?

TKR saw several players show flashes of form against Guyana Amazon Warriors, most notably with the ball. Narine recorded figures of 2 for 9 from his four overs while the returning Akeal Hosein and Andre Russell picked up three wickets apiece.

However, batting remains an issue for the Knight Riders. Cameo appearances from Nicholas Pooran (15 off 7) and Kieron Pollard (16 off 10) were about as explosive as it got for the home side against the Warriors. Colin Munro, who top-scored with 42, was only striking at 113 while Tim Seifert (27 off 35) was below 80.

Against the miserly bowling trio of Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir and Chris Green - who have combined figures of 24 for 457 from 76.3 overs - they could find runs hard to come by once more. When the two sides met on September 10, Amir picked up 2 for 15 and Wasim 2 for 20.

What's the news from the camps?

Akeal Hosein returned to action for TKR against Guyana Amazon Warriors and though he proved expensive with the ball, leaking 36 runs from his four overs - including three sixes, he did pick up three wickets.

Jamaica Tallawahs still haven't named a replacement for Sandeep Lamichhane.
