Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) is in red-hot form, having secured 11 points from 7 matches (winning 5 and losing only 1) and it would look to cement its position at the top by scoring a comfortable win against the Barbados Tridents (BT). Putting its unimpressive run in CPL history behind, JT is a well-oiled machine this year with its bowlers and batsmen clicking collectively. The Barbados Tridents are currently ranked third in the points table with 7 points coming their way from 6 matches. However, BT has not faltered on its basics as could be seen in its impressive run. It has some top class players in its ranks like AB de Villiers, Kieron Pollard and Shoaib Malik. Join Daily Fantasy League & Win Daily Prizes: CricketCountry.CricBattle.com
Best economical pick – The Pakistani all-rounder Shoaib Malik has been in solid touch in this tournament. He has scored 160 runs off 6 matches. A solid batsman who can rotate the strike and can hit maximums when team needed.
Top captains & vice captains – The JT Skipper Chris Gayle , has led from the front scoring 252 runs so far including a 108 not out knock against the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in seven matches. AB de Villiers also dished out some sizzling batting display in this season of CPL. He is the leading scorer for Barbados Tridents in this tournament with 234 runs in 6 matches.
Smart pick – Andre Russell bowled a magical spell in the previous match against TKR where he picked up four wickets and destroyed the TKR batting line up. He also played a match winning knock of 44 runs off just 24 balls in that match.
Cautions Pick – The South African All-rounder Wayne Parnell has been very expensive in this tournament so far. He has taken just 5 wickets in 6 matches so far. He can be very expensive at any day so be careful before trading him in your team.
CricBattle XI – Chris Gayle (c), AB de Villiers (vc), Shoaib Malik, Andre Russell, Steven Taylor, Rovman Powell, Kyle Hope, Kesrick Williams, Akeal Hosein, Imran Khan.
