Preview

Trinbago Knight Riders could well script history if they play in the playoffs, the way they’ve been playing at the moment. They are on their way to a perfect group stage record, having won 9 out of 9 and secured their place in the first Semi-final. They have looked the best team in the tournament and have been firing on all cylinders. They haven’t shown any kinks in their armor.

If TKR are one side of the coin, St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots are the other side of it. Having registered a solitary win in their campaign with a game to go, they will look to salvage their pride in this one. SKN will start this game as the heavy underdogs but will look to disrupt the momentum of the league leaders in TKR just before the knockouts.

Weather Report

If reports are to be believed, rain might not play its part in Sunday’s game. A few clouds are expected but apart from that, nothing. The temperatures are expected to hover around the late twenties.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium has behaved rather strangely this season. Teams batting first have been heavily favoured while chasing is a sin to commit. However, the track seems to be aiding bowlers more than the batsmen, now.

Average first innings score: 128  (Based on last 5 games)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 2, Lost – 2, NR – 1

Top Picks:

Darren Bravo is the best batsman out of both the teams involved in this game. The left-handed batsman has managed to amass 239 runs from 8 innings at an unsatisfactory strike rate of 113. He will look to get the latter to a much better figure but one cannot count him out as he looks in good touch.

Evin Lewis has been the best batter for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The left-handed batsman has managed to take up his tally to 223 runs from 9 games at a strike rate of 130. He will be the key if SKN are to win this contest.

Kieron Pollard has been in sensational form with the bat, managing 207 runs from 7 innings at a mammoth strike rate of 205. He also has 4 wickets to his name at an excellent economy of close to 5.7 RPO.

Rayad Emrit has been the best bowler for SKN, managing 10 wickets at an economy of 6.10. He is a player to watch out for.
