TEAMS PREVIEW

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Preview

Patriots chased down a massive total of 242 runs in the last match to win their first points this season. Evin Lewis started the chase with an attacking knock of 53 runs in just 18 balls to set the tone of the chase. Devon Thomas continued his good form and scored a valiant 40-ball 71 in the last match. Fabian Allen, Shamarh Brooks, and Laurie Evans played some quickfire cameos scoring runs at a strike rate of over 200 to seal the chase in their favor.

Earlier their bowling unit was taken to the cleaners by the Tallawahs batsmen as they ended conceding 241 runs. Alzarri Joseph and Fabian Allen took 2 wickets each and the rest of the bowlers did not take wickets in the last match. Their bowlers will look to bowl smart and control the run flow in this match. 

Key Players:

Devon Thomas – Devon Thomas has scores of 62 & 71 in the last two matches batting at the top order. He will look to continue his purple patch and score run consistently in this match too.

Barbados Tridents Preview

Tridents lost their opening match against Knight Riders by 47 runs and they failed to put a fight in the stiff chase. Their batting unit succumbed to 75/6 inside 10 overs to crumble in the chase. Their top order consisting of Alex Hales, JP Duminy, Jonathan Carter, and Jason Holder did not make 20+ score in that match. Ashley Nurse played a counterattacking 25-ball 40 to save some grace for the team. Holder and Roshan Primus bowled good spells in the last match and took a wicket each and had good economy rate too. Sandeep Lamichchame bowled just one over in the last match and he is expected to play a huge role in this match. Raymond Reifer and Ashley Nurse leaked a lot of runs and ended with an economy rate over 10 RPO. 

Key Players:

Alex Hales – Hales was once a leading batsman in the international not long ago and his career took back-dive due to reasons off the field. He will look to revive his batting form in this CPL and return to the international arena too. 

Jason Holder – Holder started the wicket match with a maiden in his second over, but his team failed to capitalize on it and leaked runs consistently at the other end. And he eventually finished with figures of 4-1-34-1 leaking almost 19 runs in his final over. 

Barbados Tridents Predicted Playing XI:

Shai Hope (wk), Jean-Paul Duminy, Alex Hales, Ashley Nurse, Johnson Charles, Josh Lalor, Jason Holder (c), Jonathan Carter, Raymon Reifer, Sandeep Lamichhane, Roshon Primus

Barbados Tridents Actual Playing XI:

Alex Hales, Jean-Paul Duminy, Leniko Boucher, Hayden Walsh, J Charles, Ashley Nurse, Jason Holder, Josh Lalor, Jonathan Carter, Roshon Primus, Sandeep Lamichhane

Weather Conditions

Warner Park is a belter of pitch and it is batting paradise where batsmen will feats on the bowlers. Both teams scored over 240 runs in the last match here. The weather looks partly cloudy with scattered rains on the match day. 

Toss: WIN the toss, BOWL First

No target is safe at the warner park as witnessed from the last match and so both teams will look to chase the target set by the opposition.
