SKN vs TKR Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Trinbago Knight Riders CPL T20 6 September

SKN vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: Here we are on the last day of group matches for this year’s Caribbean Premier League. Teams have almost locked their positions in the points table already. Trinbago Knight Riders are yet to lose a match while their opponent today St Kitts and Nevis Patriots had a season to forget. It is a proper dead-rubber alright but a chance for the Patriots to salvage some of their pride no doubt. Let’s take a look at our Dream11 fantasy cricket preview.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have managed to win only one game so far and they will finish the league with a last position in the points table. Their last match against Jamaica Tallawahs was washed out after initial play of 5.4 overs. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots must have felt unlucky as their openers were cruising for the first time in this competition. Evin Lewis and Chris Lynn had put on 46 runs on the board when rain stopped the play.

Trinbago Knight Riders are playing according to a set blue-print and other teams are finding it very difficult to dislodge their plans. In the last match against St Lucia Zouks yesterday, TKR continued their march with another impressive outing. Lendl Simmons went early but Tion Webster and Tim Seifert stabilized the innings with 2^nd wicket partnership. Darren Bravo hit another half-century while Kieron Pollard was at his destructive best in the death overs. TKR posted 175 runs on the board. In bowling, Akeal Hosein and Sikandar Raza were economical but all the wickets went to medium pacers. Kieron Pollard had an unbelievable day as he picked up 3 scalps with the ball also. Jayden Seales and Dwayne Bravo took a couple of wickets each as they fired TKR to another win.

Historically, Trinbago Knight Riders have been pretty dominant against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots over the years. TKR have won 11 matches while St Kitts and Nevis Patriots managed to sneak out on 4 occasions. In last 5 matches, the same trend continued as 4 matches have gone TKR’s way. In the first meeting this year, TKR pummelled the Patriots at the same venue earlier in the week.

Pitch and Conditions

There are minor chances of rain in Tarouba today but there is nothing significant on the radar apart from that. Scattered thunderstorms can be expected at any time in this part of the world in this season. The same pitch will be in use from yesterday’s matches and it looked far better from what we have seen so far in the competition.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Kieron Pollard is the straight-forward pick for the captaincy position today after his heroics yesterday. He blasted off 42 runs with the bat and also picked up 3 wickets with his bowling. Clearly, a great choice considering his lethal form in this tournament.
• Darren Bravo has upgraded his T20 credentials with his performances this year. He has become a prolific six-hitter on the on-side. His game-plan is very simple: first create a base in the middle overs before going all guns blazing in the death overs.
• Evin Lewis is a decent option from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. His returns this year have not been great so far with only one match-winning innings against Barbados Tridents. But he looked good in the short play against Jamaica in the last match.

For Grand Leagues

• Dwayne Bravo is a great option for the grand leagues from TKR. Considering the fact that he rarely gets an opportunity with the bat, you can take him as a specialist bowler. His experience and skills will almost guarantee you some wickets in each game.
• Tim Seifert will continue to bat at the top if Sunil Narine doesn’t play today as well. He is a perfect player in the middle-order and has got runs in this season whenever he played at the top.
• St Kitts and Nevis Patriots captain Rayad Emrit is another good option for the grand leagues. He has taken a total of 10 wickets so far this year and has also bowled economically all through the season. He can also hit a blow or two in the lower order for his team.  

Who will win SKN vs TKR Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream11 predictions, Trinbago Knight Riders will start as overwhelming favourites against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots today. The Patriots will need to play their best cricket this year to make something out of this match. Clearly, a half-decent day of cricket from TKR should be enough to see out the Patriots.
