Preview
Two time-champions, Trinbago Knight Riders, will play the Jamaica Tallawahs in the 6th match of the tournament. The Knight Riders, who failed to make it to the finals last year, started this year off on a positive note. Playing after a while, some of their players looked slightly rusty. But, the team has managed to defeat the Guyana Amazon Warriors by 4 wickets.
Sunil Narine was the star performer for them in that match and they’d hope that he comes good once again. As far as the Tallawahs are concerned, this would be their second game of the tournament. Their first game is scheduled to be played against the St Lucia Zouks on 19th August.
