The 29th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2022 sees Saint Lucia Kings take on Jamaica Tallawahs on Sunday at Providence Stadium in Guyana. Both teams will be playing their last match of the league stage and would be desperate to finish off with a win.
Saint Lucia Kings find themselves at the number two spot on the table with 4 wins in 9 matches. However, they still need to win their last game to confirm their spot for the qualifiers. On the other hand, Jamaica Tallawahs are sitting at third with as many wins in 9 matches and would be looking for a similar result as well.
Here’s a look at how the two teams shape up ahead of the big encounter:
Saint Lucia Kings:
After making a disastrous start, the Kings climbed their way up with three consecutive wins. However, they are coming into this game on the back of a 6-wicket defeat at the hands of the Guyana Amazon Warriors.
Riding on a sensational 103-run knock from Faf du Plessis, Kings piled up a mammoth 194 runs on the board. Despite that, the bowling unit needed a few more runs on the board to defend that down. Heading into the next game, fans would expect them to dish out an improved performance with the ball.
Alzari Joseph is currently their highest wicket-taker, having managed 16 wickets at an average of 14.
Players to watch out for:
Alzarri Joseph, Faf du Plessis and Johnson Charles
Jamaica Tallawahs:
Jamaica Tallawahs have blown hot and cold throughout the tournament. They have not managed to register wins consistently but still find themselves at third on the table. What’s concerning right now is that their last two matches have resulted in defeats.
Rovman Powell and Co. would be looking to forget the memories of that and move forward. Brandon King is their highest run-scorer this season. He has 326 runs to his name at a strike rate of 135. With the ball, M Amir leads the way with 13 wickets at an average of 15.
Players to watch out for:
Rovman Powell, M Amir, Brandon King
Probable Playing XI:
Jamaica Tallawahs:
Brandon King, Kennar Lewis, Kirk McKenzie, Rovman Powell, Raymon Reifer, Fabian Allen, Mohammad Nabi, Imad Wasim, Chris Green, Migeal Pretorius, Mohammad Amir
