TKR vs SKN Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots CPL T20 2 September

TKR vs SKN Dream11 Prediction: Two teams at extreme opposite ends of the spectrum will go head to head in Caribbean Premier League today. Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will lock horns in 23^rd match of the season. This match will be played at The Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba. We will preview the match in our Dream11 fantasy cricket.

Trinbago Kinght Riders have been the only unbeaten team so far in the competition. They have 7 wins from as many matches this year. Batting first in the last match against Jamaica Tallawahs, Sunil Narine made his return official with a quick-fire 29 runs while Lendl Simmons was very watchful at the other end. Colin Munro played the decisive innings for them by making 65 runs. Kieron Pollard used his long handle very well towards the end as he slammed 33 from just 16 balls. TKR posted a very competitive 184 runs on the board. In reply, bowlers struck regularly as the target went out of reach even for an Andre Russell special. All 4 spinners for TKR – Akeal Hosein, Khary Pierre, Sunil Narine and Fawad Ahmed played a crucial role in their victory yesterday.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots lost their last match against Guyana Amazon Warriors pretty convincingly. They dropped Chris Lynn and opened with Kieran Powell but that also didn’t work as both the openers were dismissed by the score of 22 runs. Joshua Da Silva made 59 while Denesh Ramdin played a supporting hand with 37 runs as St Kitts and Nevis Patriots posted 150 runs on the board. In reply, almost all the bowlers were clueless against Nicholas Pooran as Guyana chased down the total in just 17.3 overs. Only Alzarri Joseph and Jon-Russ Jaggesar were among the wickets in that innings.

Historically, Trinbago Knight Riders are having a dominant record against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. TKR have won 10 matches while St Kitts were victorious on 4 occasions in 14 matches played between them. In last 5 matches, TKR have beaten St Kitts 4 times. They are meeting for the first time in this year’s CPL.

Pitch and Conditions

Isolated thunderstorms are forecast for today in Tarouba during the match-time. But it is not looking that grim, so we can hope for a full match between these two sides. If we talk about the pitch, the surface here looked good for batting during the day match yesterday. Still spinners can make an impression due to the extra bounce available here.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News

• We are not expecting many changes in Trinbago Knight Riders playing XI unless they decide to give an opportunity to players sitting on sidelines till now.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Team News

• We are into the last week of CPL but St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have still not found out their batting order. That is one of many reasons why they have been so poor this year.
• Evin Lewis and Kieran Powell opened in last match against Guyana Amazon Warriors. They have a decision to make on whether to bring back Chris Lynn or to continue with the same pair today.
• Joshua Da Silva, Ben Dunk and Denesh Ramdin will form the middle order while Sohail Tanvir and captain Rayad Emrit will be their all-rounders.
• Alzarri Joseph will be their specialist pacer while Ish Sodhi, Imran Khan and Jon-Russ Jaggesar will take care of spin-bowling duties for the Patriots.

TKR vs SKN Dream 11 Prediction Today Cricket Match

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• With the comeback of Sunil Narine in the last match, he becomes the straight-forward choice for the captaincy position. He bats at the top to make the maximum use of the power-play and we all know about his potentials with the ball for years now.
• Kieron Pollard is another X-factor from Trinbago Knight Riders team. He is in terrific hitting form at the moment and can maximize your points even in the limited time at the crease. If TKR are batting first, he can be a very good pick for your team.
• Rayad Emrit has had a very good season with the ball till now. He has scalped a total of 10 wickets from 7 innings and remained economical in almost all the matches. He can be the best bet from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for today’s match.

For Grand Leagues

• Colin Munro will come into this match after a magnificent innings of 65 runs against Jamaica Tallawahs yesterday. He looks in good touch and can play both anchor and attacking roles for his team. A very good pick for captaincy in the grand leagues.
• If you go by the recent form, then Joshua Da Silva can be your man from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He played an innings of 59 in the last match against Guyana. He also had a couple of good scores before that as well.
• Jon-Russ Jaggesar is having a good CPL so far in the matches he played. This Trinidad off-spinner has impressed everyone with his potential and skills this year. He will also get some extra bounce from the pitch at The Brian Lara stadium compared to Queen’s Park Oval.

Who will win TKR vs SKN Today Match Prediction?

As per our Dream11 predictions, there is only one favourite before this match and they are Trinbago Knight Riders. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will need to play out of their skins to make a match out of this one. And if that happens, we are in for cracker-jack of a contest.
