Pitch Report
The pitch at Warner Park has been a good competitive surface. The batters will enjoy their time in the middle, given the small boundaries and the fast outfield. The surface has a new-ball bounce and will assist the pace bowlers early on. Spinners will have a part to play as the match progresses. The average first-innings score in the tournament here has been 165 runs.
Toss
Although the team batting first at this venue has won 5 of the 8 games played this season so far, the team that wins the toss would look to bowl first as batting gets a little easier under the lights. A first-innings score of around 175 runs can be a competitive one on this surface.
Top Fantasy Picks
Wicketkeeper
- Chadwick Walton was the key contributor to Jamaica’s monster score in the first match, making 47 runs off just 29 balls and taking 3 catches behind the stumps. He was dismissed cheaply in the last match against Barbados and will look to get back among the runs here.
Batters
- Glenn Phillips showed why he is so highly rated by the New Zealand management. He scored a patient 56 runs off 46 balls to get his team out of a tough situation. His 79-run partnership for the 6th wicket was the main difference between the two teams in the previous match.
- Kennar Lewis's power-hitting skills were on full display in the first match against the Kings. He scored 48 runs off just 21 balls, including 2 fours and 3 sixes. Lewis was dismissed for 10 in the last match against Barbados, trying to up the scoring rate after a slow start to the innings.
All-Rounders
- Raymon Reifer showcased his all-round brilliance in the last match. He scored 31 runs off 20 balls and took 3 wickets too. He dismissed Brathwaite and Russell in the same over, which helped the team register a crucial 15-run victory.
- Andre Russell had a bad day on the field in the last game with both bat and ball. He was dismissed on the first ball and ended up giving away 49 runs in his bowling spell. Expect him to make a big comeback against the same opponents here.
Bowlers
- Mohammad Amir currently sits at the top of the wickets column in the tournament. He is back to his menacing best and has been picking up wickets regularly. In three matches, he has taken 6 wickets at an average of 10.66 and an economy rate of 5.33, with best figures of 3 for 21.
- Migael Pretorius is the highest wicket taker for Jamaica in this competition. He has taken 5 wickets in two games, with his best figures of 4 for 32 coming against Saint Lucia. Pretorius was hit for runs in the last match by the Barbados batters and will look to bounce back here.
