Match Details

The 23rd match of the Caribbean Premier League 2020 will be played between Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Brian Lara Stadium, Trinidad. The match can be viewed live on the Fan Code at 7:30 PM IST.

Preview

Trinbago Knight Riders are having nothing but a phenomenal season. They have tasted victory in every game that they have played and now see themselves up against a familiar foe; one who hasn’t been able to get the better of them in their last 5 outings. TKR has won 4 of the last 5 outings with St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots, drawing one in the process.

St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots on the other hand are having a disaster of a season. They have won only once and have tasted defeat six times. No doubt that they will be playing for pride in this game and will look to disrupt the momentum of an in-form TKR line-up.
