What's the match?

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

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to take place at 10am local time (BST-5) on Sunday, September 25.

Where is the match being played?

The game is due to be staged at the Providence Stadium, Guyana.

Who's got the form?

Both sides lost their last fixtures, but Faf du Plessis does at least come into this game on the back of a hundred in a losing cause against Guyana Amazon Warriors, whose late surge has pushed them into the table's top two.

Tallawahs were also beaten last time out by Guyana, though - like du Plessis - there was a centurion in Brandon King for the losing side. Mohammad Nabi began his Jamaica stint in style, taking three wickets in his first two overs for the franchise.

King is the second-highest run-scorer in the competition, with du Plessis not far behind; they are the only players to have made a hundred in this year's tournament. Pakistani left-armers Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir have taken 25 wickets between them.

What's the match-up to watch?

Du Plessis isn't the only batter in fine form for St Lucia, who in Johnson Charles have the leading run-getter in the tournament. He has passed fifty on four occasions and is averaging marginally under 50.

In Amir and Wasim, however, Tallawahs have the bowling to disrupt his rhythm, while both Chris Green and Migael Pretorius have both been economical. Jamaica captain Rovman Powell has the sixth-most runs in the competition.

What's the news from the camps?

Nabi has replaced Sandeep Lamichhane at Tallawahs after the Nepalese leg-spinner was released in the wake of his suspension by the Cricket Association of Nepal.
