Defending Champions Barbados Tridents faces Jamaica Tallawahs in the 14th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2020.
Team Preview
Defending champions are on a losing streak in the latest edition of the Caribbean Premier League. Barbados started on a high note with winning the first game by just 6 runs but the last week has been disappointing for Jason Holder, losing three consecutive defeats. In last night’s encounter, Barbados suffered a 6-wickets defeat against Patriots in the 2nd leg game. With collecting efforts from the batting unit, Tridents put 151 on the board. Riding on Lewis’ 60-balls 89, St Kitts chased down the target with 4 balls spare. Barbados’ losing streak started with rain-affected affair against Zouks and in the next game, they lost against Trinbago by 18 runs. The last season’s winner is out of the top four and they desperately require a win here to get back on the winning track. Barbados’ record at Oval is pretty poor, losing 10 games out of eleven.
Meanwhile, Jamaica Tallawahs clinched a crucial win in the previous low-scoring contest against Guyana in the 2nd leg game. With this important, Tallawahs marched into the top four. They are now up against the Barbados Tridents, the side who had a dull campaign so far. For the second consecutive game, Jamaica put a stunning bowling show against Guyana. Mujeeb-Edwards duo grabbed 3-wickets each to restrict Guyana on just 108. In the chase, Jamaica avoided the last game’s mistakes and crossed the line with 5 wickets in hand, thanks to Russell and Bonner’s 51-runs stand. With the quality bowling unit and sensible batting lineup, put Tallawahs ahead of Barbados.
