Match details
Series/tournament name: Caribbean Premier League 2019
Venue: Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain
Date: 6 September, 2019
Time: 5:30 a.m. IST
Preview:
After winning their opening game at the same venue a day back, defending champions, Trinbago Knight Riders will look to stretch their winning start to the season. Jamaica Tallawahs, though, have a potent line-up with a good blend of power hitters and diligent ball workers. Much of the contest could be decided by how TKR restrict Jamaica's big hitters - Glenn Phillips, Andre Russell and Chris Gayle. On the other hand, Jamaica's task will be to keep the middle order of Seekkuge Prasanna, Kieron Pollard and Jimmy Neesham silent.
Weather report:
The weather is clear with temperatures around 33°C through the day.
Pitch report:
The pitch is expected to be slightly two paced. Maximising the powerplay would be top priority for both teams.
Injuries and replacements:
Dwayne Bravo out.
Probable Playing XI:
Jamaica Tallawahs:
The explosive power of Chris Gayle at the top and the combined middle-order explosiveness of George Worker and Glenn Phillips makes Jamaica a potent threat this season. One of Worker or Walton could open the innings. Russell could be in for a promotion.
Chris Gayle, Chadwick Walton, George Worker, Glenn Phillips (wk), Kennar Lewis, Andre Russell (C), Rovman Powell, Imran Khan, Oshane Thomas, Shamar Springer, Christopher Lamont
Trinbago Knight Riders
With Dwayne Bravo unavailable, Pollard will continue to lead the side. Sunil Narine

Trinbago Knight Riders
With Dwayne Bravo unavailable, Pollard will continue to lead the side. Sunil Narine at the top could be a tricky experiment as teams are starting to work him out. Jimmy Neesham could once again be an x-factor after his Man of the Match showing.
Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine, Denesh Ramdin, Kieron Pollard, Jimmy Neesham, Seekkuge Prasanna, Tion Webster, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Javon Searles, Mohammad Hasnain
Top picks:
Wicket-keeper: Glenn Phillips (9 credits)
In 59 T20s, Phillips averages 30.41, has two hundreds and strikes at a rate of 132.56. If Phillips opens, he could be a highly potent fantasy player. Even in the middle order, his explosive batting would be a sure shot way to rack up some points.
Batsman: Kieron Pollard (9.5 credits)
After an assured hand in the first win of the season, stand-in skipper, Kieron Pollard would be a key player for the Knight Riders. He has seamlessly jumped back into form in the shortest format of the game and if he bats at the position he did last game, could impact the game big time.
All-rounder: Andre Russell (11 credits)
You cannot miss him in your fantasy team. The explosive power hitter and hit the deck bowler can single-handedly win games and will be the x-factor player for every game his team plays. Captaining him is a no-brainer for this encounter.
Bowler: Khary Pierre (8.5 credits)
Pierre is a smart T20 bowler,one who can switch his line of attack and keep batsmen silent. Against a team packed with big hitters, a bowler like Pierre could be a huge deal. Expect him to get a few freebie wickets if batsmen look to take him on.
Captaincy options: Andre Russell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips.
