Preview

Two time-champions Trinbago Knight Riders have started off the CPL 2020 on a great note. The Knight Riders won both the games that they have played so far this season. They started off with a 4-wicket win against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Then, they brought out a more comprehensive performance against the Jamaica Tallawahs, with Sunil Narine leading the charge again for them.

Their opposition, Barbados Tridents, won the game and lost the other. They registered a close 6-run win against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in their opening game. But their second match had to be shortened due to rain. There was nothing much they could have done about it as their opposition had to chase only 47 runs in 5 overs. With the kind of hitting that we often witness in the Caribbean, it wasn’t a huge task for the Zouks to get there in that game. The Tridents will need to pull off a special effort if they are to get better of the Knights in this match.

Weather Report
