TKR vs JT Match Preview
TKR comes into this match with a poor record so far. It is still in fourth place on the standings and will be under a bit of pressure to string some wins together. Its batting has suffered although the move to promote Pooran is something we can completely get behind.
JT, on the other hand, has had an excellent set of bowlers to propel it forward. The batting lineup is not too bad either but it is the bowlers from the Jamaica lineup that you really want to focus on.
Weather Report
The weather is not too encouraging and there is some rain forecast. We could have a reduced-overs contest if the weather gods are unkind.
Pitch Report
The pitch in Trinidad has been good for the spinners so far. The batters have found their footing after the first couple of matches and the average scores have gone up to around 160. A typical sort of Caribbean wickets everything considered.

Dream11 Prediction
We think the Jamaica Tallawahs have a good chance of winning this match. Their bowling lineup is superb and should match up well against the TKR batters. We are going to try and build a Dream11 team that reflects this possibility.
Top Picks
Mohammad Amir - Perhaps the best bowler of CPL 2022 so far. It looks like a wicket is around the corner every time he comes on to bowl. He could be the impact player you are looking for in this match.
Nicholas Pooran - The move to send him up the order has unlocked his potential. A big score could be around the corner and we want to cash in whenever that happens.
Imad Wasim - As a bowler, Imad Wasim is perhaps having the best tournament he has had in a long time. He is also capable of contributing with the bat.
Captain and vice-captain - We think picking Mohammad Amir as the captain and Imad Wasim as the vice-captain is the way to go.
