Match Details
CPL 2023, Match 10: Jamaica Tallawahs vs Barbados Royals
Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
August 26, 7:00 PM local time, 4:30 AM IST (August 27)
What to expect:
Roelof van der Merwe’s tidy spin and ability to tank runs under pressure in the lower order is poised to be a welcome headache for hosts St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Rovman Powell (432 runs in 22 innings) crossing the 500-run mark in T20s at the venue, and Obed McCoy rediscovering his rhythm to take quick wickets to earn our first points of the campaign.

Royal to watch
With 432 runs and four wickets in T20 games here at Warner Park, all eyes will be on captain Rovman Powell. The Windies T20I skipper has enjoyed playing against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. His 329 runs at a strike rate of 158.2 gives us a general idea of how Powell could pulverize SKNP’s bowlers in his heyday. Will it be tonight? Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
