Meanwhile, Jamaica Tallawahs lost their previous game to the heavyweights in TKR and will be hoping to win this game before the semi finals to gain some confidence. Even though, Jamaica winning this game wont change anything, they can go into the semi finals with that much needed confidence.

Captain and Vice captain
Glenn Phillips: Only right hand batsman to be in the top 5 leading run-getters chart. Even after the conditions were sluggish in this tournament, he managed to keep scoring runs at a consistent rate throughout the tournament. He has scored 265 runs in the tournament at an health average of 37.86. He makes the bowlers to work hard for his wicket which makes him a great option for captain in Dream11.
Jermaine Blackwood: Jamaica Tallawahs have found an able partner for Glenn Phillips at the fag end of the tournament. Ever since he given a chance, he has been scoring runs consistently. He even got a brilliant 74 from 59 balls against Barbados Tridents. He is a decent option for vice-captaincy.
Andre Fletcher: Another wicket keeper is an underrated option for captaincy. He played well in the previous game for his 42 runs and played some very good strokes through the course of the innings. He has scored 171 runs so far in the tournament at an average of 21
X-factors and value picks
Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman: The mystery spinner has faded away in the last few games but he has been a prolific wicket taker for Jamaica through this season. He was unplayable and bowled some brilliant line and length that keeps the batsmen at bay. He has struggled the left hand batters in particular in this season. He has picked 13 wickets in this season so far and is the 3rd highest run getter
Andre Russell: There is no two ways about it. If he is playing, make him the captain of your team in grand leagues. Though he stopped bowling, he can be more than a lethal with the bat alone. He has scored 220 runs at an average of 73 in this tournament so far.
Mohammad Nabi: Another solid captaincy contender for grand leagues. He has been a revelation for Darren Sammy led St Lucia Zouks in this season so far with both the bat and ball. He has picked 11 wickets in this tournament so far and has close to 150 runs with the bat. He can be a real x-factor in the grand leagues
