What is the match?
St Lucia Kings take on Jamaica Tallawahs in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
When is it taking place?
The match is scheduled to take place at 19:00 local time (GMT-5) on Wednesday, September 7.
Where is the match played?
This game will be played at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia.
Who has the form?
It’s bottom versus top, with Tallawahs unbeaten and Kings struggling without a point on the board.
Brandon King’s regeneration after leaving Guyana Amazon Warriors is off to a good start; he is the leading scorer in the competition, providing much-needed support for Jamaica’s captain Rovman Powell, who is yet to be dismissed in two wins over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Guyana Amazon Warriors.
St Lucia were reduced to 7 to 4 in their last game, a desperate chase against the Barbados Royals that started badly, briefly looked like it could be saved by the rain and then almost had a great finish. They can at least be encouraged by Faf du Plessis’ 20-ball 47 in his first match of the tournament.

What is the match to watch?
Rovman Powell’s knock against the Guyana Amazon Warriors was an effort of supreme maturity, trapping the spinners for all he was worth – he made just eight runs in 24 balls against Imran Tahir, Tabraiz Shamsi and Gudakesh Motie – before unleashing against the contenders, smashing 36 in just 14 deliveries.
A confident side, with early runs also for Brandon King and Kennar Lewis, the battle between Powell’s batting and the St Lucia bowling attack – featuring Rahkeem Cornwall, Roston Chase, Preston McSween, Alzarri Joseph, Scott Kuggeleijn and David Wiese – promises be intriguing.
However, in return, Wiese and Tim David bring plenty of middle-order firepower. With two losses to start the contest, the Kings could do with the overseas duo finding their form before it’s too late.
What’s the news from the camps?
Tallawahs captain Rovman Powell, who played so brilliantly in the win over Guyana Amazon Warriors, is nursing a bruised leg but hopes to be fit. His unbeaten 44 is why Jamaica remain unbeaten after two matches. Leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane has arrived.
For the St Lucia Kings, Faf du Plessis, Tim David and David Wiese all made their tournament debuts on Sunday after arriving from The Hundred.
