Preview:

With two wins in two games, the Trinbago Knight Riders sit comfortably at the top of the points table in CPL 2020. The team has got an NRR of +0.584 and they looked quite clinical with their performances so far. In both their wins, Sunil Narine was the chief architect and the other chipped in as per their capacity.

The Barbados Tridents, however, lost to the St Lucia Zouks in their last game. The second innings of that game was cut short to five overs and the target was only 47 runs. Hence, it turned out to be quite an easy chase for the opposition. Barbados Tridents have still got quite a few boxes to tick and the fans would hope that they’d have made the best of the little break that they got in between games.

Weather Report

The chances of precipitation from 11 AM in the morning in Tarouba are over 50 per cent. After a few overs initially, the play might get interrupted and it is a possibility that we might not have a result.
