Barbados Royals and Jamaica Tallawahs will lock horns in the 19th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2022 (CPL) at Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain on Thursday. Barbados Royals beat Trinbago Knight Riders in their last match to register their sixth straight win of this season. Afghanistani spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman, playing his first CPL match this season, took three wickets for 17 to bowl out the opponent for just 132 runs. Then in-form all-rounder Kyle Mayers smashed his third fifty of this edition to guide Royals to a big eight-wicket win with four overs remaining. With this win, they have cemented their top position further with 12 points in six matches. 

Meanwhile, Jamaica Tallawahs lost against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in their last match to suffer their third defeat of the season. They scored 139 runs while batting first with Raymon Reifer scoring the highest 40 runs but bowlers failed to defend the target as the Patriots easily chased the target with eight wickets remaining on D/L method. The Tallawahs are placed in the second position in the league table but have only six points in six matches so far. The Royals won their first match against the Tallawahs by eight wickets and are favorites to win again on Thursday.
