Queen’s Park Oval generally provides a competitive T20 surface, with batters able to score freely once they settle at the crease. The new ball can offer some pace and movement to the seamers, while the surface can also produce variable bounce as the innings progresses.
Batters who spend some time in the middle are likely to benefit, while bowlers who vary their pace could find success in the later stages. With this being a night game, the toss could also play an important role, with captains likely to consider bowling first if dew becomes a factor.
Trinbago Knight Riders: Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Sunil Narine, Matthew Tromp, Kieron Pollard, Jyd Goolie, Dominic Drakes, Akeal Hosein, Abdul Raheem Toppin, Usman Tariq, Matthew Breetzke, Justin Greaves, Terrance Hinds, Amshi de Silva, Joshua Da Silva, Nathan Edward, Ajay Kumar, Dexter Sween
Jamaica Kingsmen: Rovman Powell (c), Keacy Carty, Maaz Sadaqat, Saim Ayub, Kirk McKenzie, Usman Khan (wk), Keemo Paul, Odean Smith, Vitel Lawes, Jediah Blades, Hunain Shah, Andre Russell, Reeza Hendricks, Hassan Khan, Jeavor Royal, Shayan Jahangir, Shaqkere Parris, Kelvin Pitman, Tayyab Arif, Romaine Morris
