Pitch report
Providence has proved very good for batters. There have been three scores of 190 or more in 11. Tallawahs made 226 against Guyana. Sportsbook go even money for both teams scoring 170 - that's only happened twice. The wise money, then, is overs on the par line or paying around 2.305/4 for 180 or more on innings runs.
How to play
On a flat batting track a team needs a point of difference. Tallawahs have that with the meanest bowling group in the competition. It served them perfectly against Kings and Guyana in the knockouts. With Tallawahs at 2.1011/10 we expect them to at least flip the odds with Royals 1.865/6. We can see them coming to below 1.705/7. Bet the match odds here.
Tops value
Brandon King, who has a ton on this ground, is boosted to 16/5 for top Jamaica bat. Brooks is 11/4. For Royals, the in-form Cornwall is surprisingly big at 4s. Bet the Sportsbook odds here.
