Jamaica Tallawahs and Trinbago Knight Riders are probably two of the most popular teams in CPL 2020 because of the high profile names that they have got. Most of the superstar players who represent West Indies in T20 cricket at the international level are either representing Jamaica or Trinbago and that makes it one of the most anticipated encounters of this year’s CPL.
Here are our fantasy cricket tips for game 6 of CPL 2020 which is a clash of the titans –
Pitch Report
The surfaces that have been used in CPL 2020, so far, have been slow and two paced, but the fact that the dimensions of the boundaries are fairly short has allowed the big hitters to be able to clear the fence despite the surfaces not being ideal for power hitting.
On such kind of surfaces, what’s important for the batsmen is to pick the right spot and the right bowler to attack, rather than just try and play the big shots against every bowler.
Predicted XI of both teams
Trinbago Knight Riders
Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons, Colin Munro, Kieron Pollard (C), Darren Bravo, Tim Seifert, Sikander Raza, Dwayne Bravo, Ali Khan, Jayden Seales and Fawad Ahmed
Jamaica Tallawahs
Chadwick Walton, Glenn Phillips, Rovman Powell (C), Andre Russell, Asif Ali, Jermaine Blackwood, Carlos Brathwaite, Mujeeb ur Rehman, Sandeep Lamichhane, Oshane Thomas and Veerasammy Permaul
Top Picks
Asif Ali is a must pick after the kind of form he showed in the first game. Despite the fact that he was playing after a long time, the Pakistan international didn’t seem rusty at all and put on an exhibition of power strokes on a difficult pitch.
Glenn Phillips also timed the ball really sweetly in his first outing in the tournament against St Lucia Zouks and because of the fact he opens the batting, he has enough time in his hand to make an impact in the game and earn you some fantasy points.
Picking Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine from the all-rounder’s category is a no-brainer as they are all world class players and are very likely to come up with match defining performances.
Jayden Seales bowled with some real heat against Guyana Amazon Warriors and troubled a seasoned campaigner like Ross Taylor with his pace and bounce. The USA seamer Ali Khan was also in decent rhythm as he got his lengths right in the death. The fact that these two come at a budget price, it makes quite a bit of sense to pick both of them in the fantasy.
Captaincy pick – Sunil Narine
Vice-captaincy pick – Andre Russell
Fantasy XI
Tim Seifert, Rovman Powell, Glenn Phillips, Asif Ali, Darren Bravo, Andre Russell (VC), Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine (C), Oshane Thomas, Jayden Seales, Ali Khan
