In the first semi-final match of the Super50 Cup 2021 later today, Trinidad Tobago and Jamaica will go against each other. Having won all their league matches and qualified at the top of the points table, Trinidad Tobago was the only dominant force in the tournament. On the other side, with two wins and three losses during the league stage, Jamaica qualified for the fourth place’s knockout stages.
Together with Imran Khan in the bowling department, Evin Lewis and Jason Mohammad were the top run-scorers for Trinidad Tobago, with an average of 47 and 95. Andre McCarthy, with both the ball and the bat, was Jamaica’s one-man army.
Weather
With the temperature ranging about 27 degrees Celsius and humidity levels at 62%, the weather will be sunny in Antigua.
Pitch
Batting first is the best option teams should go for upon winning the toss. A sum above 250 will be defendable on this surface, and there is some spin on offer. In determining the result of the match, spinners from both sides will play a crucial role.

Trinidad Tobago is synonymous with quality international players and looks much superior to this squad in Jamaica. They have a strong line up of batting to match with their bowler. On the other side, Jamaica failed as a batting unit. They will struggle against a Trinidad bowling unit. Trinidad Tobago is big favourites to win the match today and the title as well.
