Both teams were at the bottom part of the table in the last year’s CPL. Trinbago were at the last position with seven points, while St Kitts were at fifth position with eight points.
Trinbago Knight Riders have a fantastic team and they have some huge T20 names in their squad. Captain Kieron Pollard will be eager to bounce back from their performance of last year.
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots have a decent squad, with some good overseas names especially in the middle order. They will look better their performance from last year and try to be at the top of the table.
The first two matches at this venue has witnessed the batters dominating the bowlers, with the average first innings score being 190+. Moreover, both games have been won by the team defending the total, and the same can be expected in this game as well. The spinners will look to extract help from the surface to trouble the batters.
Nicholas Pooran in T20
Pooran is having a good time everywhere he is playing, and this will ideal platform for him to showcase his ongoing run. His stats below are top-class in this format.
Andre Russell in T20
Russell is a gun and you can’t stop the gun from firing. When he starts firing, it’s difficult for the bowlers to stop him. The Windies all-rounder can fetch good points in both departments, given his track record of over 7,000 runs and nearly 400 wickets in T20s.
Evin Lewis in T20
Evin, a belligerent hitter at the top order will bring more value in the powerplay overs and beyond. He will certainly be a captain pick from this team for any league. The southpaw has scored more than 5,700 runs in T20s.
Andre Fletcher in T20
One more experienced campaigner from the team, Fletcher will be expected to go bonkers. He has had a good history in T20 leagues around and hopefully will be geared up for this season.
TKR will prevail over the SKN. The Knight Riders have a better squad strength than the St Kitts, and will win the game owing to their all-round performance in this game.
