JAM vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: TKR have been dominating the CPL 2020 so far and thrashing the opposition teams with disdain. They looked completely out of sorts in the last season as they won just 4 games in their 10 league games but this time around they have well and truly turned the tables on.
TKR have managed to assemble one of the strongest squads in the tournament and the fact that no one pulled out at the last minute from their squad which happened to some of the other teams in competition have proved to be a major turning point for them.
Jamaica on the other hand have been disappointing to say the least. In a team filled with powerful stroke makers, they didn’t structure the team properly in a way that they can maximize their resources. Their main man in Andre Russell haven’t been part of the playing XI for 2 consecutive matches due to a bit of swelling in his foot is not helping them even a bit.

JAM team news
Injuries unavailability
No confirmation regarding Andre Russell’ participation. There are no injury concerns over other players
Playing combination, expected changes
• They have the leading run-getter of the tournament in Glenn Phillips as their mainstay of the batting line-up. But the problem is they haven’t got a stable partner for him. Although, Chadwick Walton is a reputed T20 player, he lost his touch in this season and as a result he was demoted down the order. They played Nkrumah Bonner as the other opener and are expected to continue with him unless the super man Andre Russell returns.
• The top and middle order consists of Jermaine Blackwood, Asif Ali, Rovman Powell and Carlos Brathwaite and are expected to continue with this batting order as they might not want to disturb the winning combination
• The spin trio of Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sandeep Lamichchane and Veerasammy Permaul have been constantly troubling the batters on spinner friendly tracks and are expected to do the same.
• They went in with just two pacers in the last game that included Carlos Brathwaite as one who also picked up 3 wickets in the game. The veteran Fidel Edwards will be the leader of the pace attack.
TKR team news
Injuries unavailability
Sunil Narine was left out of the team for 3 consecutive games citing some personal reasons and he might not play this game as well along with Dj Bravo who was rested in their previous game against Barbados Tridents
Playing combination, expected changes
• They have given Tion Webster a go in the last few games in the absence of Sunil Narine and they are expected to continue with Lendl Simmons who has been in terrible form off late long with Tion Webster.
• The top and middle order will be manned by the Kiwi opener Colin Munro, Junior Bravo, Tim Seifert and the dynamic captaij Kieron Pollard.
• They strengthened their spin bowling contingent by bringing in Akeal Hosein in place of Dwayne Bravo. They also have Sikander Raza, Fawad Ahmed and Kharry Pierre as the other spinners in their playing XI.
• Jayden Seales will be their sole pacer in this team surrounded by spinners. Although Tion Webster and Kieron Pollard can chip in eith useful medium pace bowling with the ball to support Jayden Seales.
Let’s take a look at Dream11 prediction for JAM vs TKR
JAM Playing 11 (Probables)
Glenn Phillips (wk), Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Asif Ali, Rovman Powell (c), Chadwick Walton, Carlos Brathwaite, Veerasammy Permaul, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sandeep Lamicchane, Fidel Edwards

JAM vs TKR Dream11 Match Prediction
Wicket-keepers– Glenn Phillips
Batsmen– Jermaine Blackwood, Darren Bravo, Colin Munro
All-rounders– Carlos Brathwaite, Kieron Pollard, Sikander Raza
Bowlers– Sandeep Lamicchane, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Kharry Pierre, Fawad Ahmed
Captain and Vice-captain
Glenn Phillips: This kiwi opener just loves to play CPL. He has been a consistent performer at the CPL level and once again has been a revelation in this tournament. He has 207 runs at an average of 41.40 in a low scoring tournament shows his consistency.
Kieron Pollard: The captain is fresh off after scoring a belligerent 72 from 28 balls that included 9 maximums available Barbados is a quality captaincy option. Although, he comes late into the crease to bat, the opposition have Mujeeb Ur Rahman who bowls exceedingly well against LHB, hence Darren Bravo or Colin Munro as captains might backfire.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman: He has been unplayable in this tournament so far. Has been bowling well in all the phases if the innings. As a matter of fact, he is the leading wicket-taker in this competition so far with 13 wickets. He is definitely a captaincy option
X-factors and value picks
Kharry Pierre: He can be taken in the Dream11 team as a pure match-up option because of the number of RHB available in the Jamaica Tallawahs camp. His SLA can come in handy against Jamaica and might end up being that X-factor in your grand league teams.
Darren Bravo: Junior Bravo is a player who can be always trusted with when it comes to grand leagues if one wants to gamble. Barring, Mujeeb, Jam have two other spinners who bring the ball into the LHB. If Darren Bravo survives Mujeeb’ threat, we might see some big knock from Darren Bravo. He has 153 runs at an average of 51 in the tournament so far.
Carlos Brathwaite: He was very good with the ball in Jamaica’s last game as he stepped up as the 2nd leading pacer and grabbed 3 wickets. He will be looking to continue his form and can be a value pick in the grand leagues.
