Probable best batter of the match

Lendl Simmons— Trinbago Knight Riders

Lendl Simmons is well and truly due for a big knock in the ongoing edition of the CPL. He is the all-time highest run-scorer in the tournament and needs to step up at the earlier. In five games, the right-hander has notched only 46 runs at a disastrous average of 9.20. His strike rate of 77.96 is on the lower side as well.

Probable best bowler of the match

Ravi Rampaul — Trinbago Knight Riders

Ravi Rampaul has arguably been the standout bowler for the Knights in the ongoing CPL edition. The pacer has picked up 13 wickets from five games at an economy rate of 7.29. The veteran pacer is amongst the wickets and have brought all his experience to the fore. Rampaul needs to be on top of his game against an in-form Tallawahs’ batting unit.

Today’s match prediction: Trinbago Knight Riders to win the match.
