Jamaica Tallawahs:  

Despite a heavy loss in the last game, Jamaica could go in unchanged. They have one of the strongest units on paper, and fiddling with the team could not be the best option.

Top picks:  

Wicket-keeper: Devon Thomas (8.5 credits) 

Thomas top-scored in the last game, hitting seven fours and two sixes as he made 62 from 49 balls. He was the lone player who raised his hand up with the bat, as he helped his team cross the 150-run mark.  

Batsman: Chris Gayle (10.5 credits)  

Gayle scored only 28 in the last match, but got off to a good start, as he hit three sixes in his innings. He is a batter who can never be ruled out, as, on his day, he can force the best of bowlers to eat humble pie. 

All-rounder: Andre Russell (11 credits) 

Though he costs 11 credits, Russell is worth every penny spent. He is one of the most, if not the most, dangerous player in the format in the world, capable of consistently pitching in with both bat and ball. He showed signs of his abilities in the last match as he scored 44 from only 24 balls in the last match, besides picking up a wicket.  

Bowler: Sheldon Cottrell (8 credits) 

Cottrell picked up 3 wickets in the first match that Patriots played and followed it up with one wicket in the last match. The West Indian fast bowler is having a good year personally, starring in the World Cup and then in the series against India as well last month. He will be eager to continue his fine form. 

Captain: Andre Russell, Chris Gayle
