Hot Fantasy Picks

(i) Batters

Brandon King (JAM)- He played important knocks in the first two matches and hence is a very important opener for the team.

Raymon Reifer (JAM)- Displayed outstanding skilled shots in the last match against SLK. He scored 62 runs in 41 balls in that match.

(ii) All Rounders 

Imad Washim (JAM)- He can score crucial runs with the bat as well as scalp wickets when needed. What else do we need from an all-rounder?

(iii) Bowlers 

Mohammad Amir (JAM)- He scalped seven wickets in the last three matches. He is a very important string in JAM’s system.

Akeal Hosein (TKR)- He was one of the key players in the 1st and only win of the Tribago-based franchise. He scalped four wickets in the inaugural match against SLK to win the match.

(iv) Wicket Keepers

Kennar Lewis (JAM)- He is the best wicketkeeper choice in this match and can also score runs with the bat for his team.

Risky Captaincy Choice

Tion Webster (TKR)- The only match TKR won in this tournament so far is against SLK. Tion was the star of the show in that match with 58 runs under his belt.

Match Prediction

It’s not that TKR is not in their best form this season. Something is also not right with their luck. Their second game got cancelled and the third match was affected due to rain. But they are overall a champion team. Also, JAM and TKR have just played 3 matches so far. We predict TKR to have a comeback in this match.
