TEAMS PREVIEW

Jamaica Tallawahs Preview

Jamaica Tallawahs batting unit left too much for the Andre Russell (50 runs) and Carlos Brathwaite (26 runs) at the end as their top order failed to score runs at a good rate. Glenn Philips played a fine knock of 31-ball 41 runs while rest others failed to score runs at a good pace. They would like a move Russell and Brathwaite a position ahead in their batting order.

Tallawahs pace bowling was taken for a lot of runs as they ended with figures of 12-0-132-3 in the match. Spinners Mujeeb Ur Rehman and Sandeep Lamichchame were economical as usual and had combined figures of 8-0-46-1 in the match.

Top players to bet on:

Andre Russell – Andre Russell is one the fiercest hitters in cricket right now. His fifty last night will give a mountain of confidence and will look to continue his form with the bat in this match too.

Mujeeb ur Rehman – Mujeeb`s bowling has been their biggest positive this season as he has 13 wickets at an economy rate of just 4.5 RPO so far. He is forming an excellent partnership Sandeep Lamichchame in the middle overs.
