Trinbago Knight Riders are coming off a superb 7-wicket win against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. They chased down an imposing target of 194 with 9 balls remaining, courtesy of a spectacular unbeaten knock of 93 off 43 balls by Nicholas Pooran.
Pooran is now the highest run-getter for the Knight Riders with 275 runs in 7 innings at a strike rate of 176.28.
They have other strong batting options too in Keacy Carty and Kieron Pollard. Then there is opener Jason Roy who seems to have found his touch. In the previous match against the Patriots, he gave the team a flying start with a knock of 64 off 34 balls.
The team’s bowling largely depends on Sunil Narine and Waqar Salamkheil, who have 11 wickets each. Akeal Hosein is another dependable option.
Key Players: Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine, Keacy Carty

Saint Lucia Kings have taken the top spot in the table with 6 wins from 8 games. They are coming off a 13-run win against Barbados Royals.
Johnson Charles has been the team’s most consistent batter this year, smashing 265 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 138. In the previous match against Barbados Royals, he top-scored with a fluent 53 off 41 balls.
Tim Seifert is also in pretty good nick and has 205 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 168.
The Kings’ star bowlers this year are Noor Ahmad and Alzarri Joseph. Both are reliable wicket-taking options and have shared 24 wickets between them this season at a superb economy rate. Noor, particularly, will be handy on this surface. He has been going at an economy of just 5.37 this year.

The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba is the perfect one for T20 cricket. As we saw in the previous match played here, this is a great batting strip where the ball comes on nicely to the bat. The pitch does slow down a bit in the middle overs, which allows the spinners to come into play. Seamers will need to rely on their cutters and slower ones here.
There is a forecast for a couple of thunderstorms in the afternoon. This might delay or disrupt the match.
The average score at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba is 142. The highest total posted at the venue is 197-3 by Trinbago Knight Riders while chasing a target of 194 versus St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the previous match played here. This indicates that the venue will see some high-scoring encounters this season in the CPL. The team batting first will be targeting a score of around 180-190 runs.
The previous match played at the Brian Lara Stadium saw the chasing side overhaul target of 194 with relative ease. This suggests that the wicket here stays true throughout and is advantageous to the chasing side. Plus, with rain forecast during the day of the match, both captains might be looking to field first.
Trinbago Knight Riders beat Saint Lucia Kings in their previous clash this season. But since then, the Kings have won three games in a row and have picked up great momentum. Both teams look strong on paper. Trinbago Knight Riders have a dangerous-looking batting unit, but their bowling lacks the firepower. Meanwhile, Saint Lucia Kings possess a lethal bowling attack, but their batting unit is largely dependent on a couple of players. If the likes of Johnson Charles and Tim Seifert fail to fire, then the Knight Riders will be favorites to win this clash. On this batting wicket, they have a slight edge.
We are backing Trinbago Knight Riders to come out on top.
