Players to Bet on

JAMAICA TALLAWAHS

1. Glenn Philips – Philips played an outstanding knock of 79* off 61 balls on  a tricky pitch to help his team post a good score of 147 runs on board. He is a must have player in our team. 
2. Carlos Brathwaite – The big all-rounder had bowling figures of 3.4-1-11-3 in the last match and he can smash a few big sixes when he is on song with the bat. 
3. Mujeeb Ur Rehman – Mujeeb has been their star bowler this season with 13 wickets at an economy rate of just 3.9 RPO. We expect him to continue his good form in this match too.  

TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS

1. Kieron Pollard – Pollard smashed 72 runs off 28 balls to play the best knock of CPL2020 last match. Pollard looks dangerous with the bat and has always performed well whenever he was needed. 
2. Lendl Simmons – Lendl Simmons after a quite start has scores of 27 & 32 in the last two matches. He will look to take confidence from those knocks and post a big score in this match. 
3. Khary Pierre – Khary Pierre has been bowling at an economy of less than 6 RPO and claimed 6 wickets in the last 4 matches. He also played a crucial role with the bat last night to seal the match in their favor.
