Preview:

Heading into the final few matches of CPL 2019, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots face a star-studded Barbados Tridents side with qualification on the line. The Patriots play their last league game in Barbados with nine points to their names while their opponents, Barbados Tridents sit below them in fourth place whilst playing only seven games. The last time these two sides met, it was the Tridents who emerged victorious, courtesy of a SandeepLamichhane three-fer.

Barbados Tridents welcome the arrival of Shakib Al Hasan for the final phase of CPL 2019. He joins an already strong roster comprising of JP Duminy and Harry Gurney. Coming into this game on the back of a thumping win over Trinbago Knight Riders, Barbados’ young leggie, Hayden Walsh will be in the spotlight. The leggie picked a fifer earlier in the week to rattle the opposition and guide Barbados to a first home win in nine games. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have Evin Lewis and Laurie Evans to bank on with the duo scoring 451 runs among them in the top order

Expert Advice:

Top-order batsmen should be viable picks for this game given the nature of the pitch. Devon Thomas has been poor in recent games and is in danger of being demoted in the batting order. Johnson Charles is an opener and will surely get a chance at scoring big runs for Barbados Tridents.

With the amount of turn on offer, spinners would also be a great selection for this game with the likes of Hayden Walsh and Shakib Al Hasan up for the taking.

Probable Winners:

Barbados Tridents are strengthened by the arrival of Shakib Al Hasan, which gives them the edge over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
