A fine all-round bowling display saw Trinbago Knight Riders win the battle of the unbeaten teams and go to the top of the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) table. Glenn Phillips was the only standout for the Jamaica Tallawahs as the power-hitters struggled for fluency, and Sunil Narine’s second consecutive 50 did the bulk of the work even as the Knight Riders took their time about the chase.

Ali Khan and Jayden Seales started superbly after Knight Riders captain Kieron Pollard put the Tallawahs in. Walton spliced Ali Khan to square leg and Kirton was trapped in front by Seales - remarkably, this was the first LBW of Hero CPL 2020.

Glenn Phillips and Tallawahs captain Rovman Powell both hit their first ball for Hero Maximums, but a flamboyant DJ Bravo catch gave Ali Khan the wicket of Powell. Asif Ali coming to the crease in the third over cannot have been part of the Tallawahs’ Plan A.

The Tallawahs have a psychological barrier when it comes to playing against the Knight Riders. It's as if they are so nervous and afraid when they have to go up against the best team in the Caribbean. Just look at the way they nervously throw away their wickets when at bat and how mediocre their bowling looks when they have to bowl. Before they can beat the Knight Riders, they have to overcome this psychological issue. The team needs a good psychiatrist.

I won't be surprise if the Tallawahs have another disappointing tournament similar to last year. But anyway hoping to see my Trinbago team win their fourth Championship. There is no doubt TKR is the face of CPL T20
