Probable best batter of the match

Lendl Simmons— Trinbago Knight Riders

Lendl Simmons didn’t have great outings in the first five matches for the Knight Riders. However, in their previous game, the veteran showed why he’s regarded as one of the best in the business. The opening batter scored 70 runs off 45 balls with the help of five fours and as many sixes. The right-hander needs to be on top of his game in the upcoming encounter as well.

Probable best bowler of the match

Ravi Rampaul — Trinbago Knight Riders

Ravi Rampaul has been stupendous for the Knight Riders in the ongoing edition of the CPL. He is currently the leading wicket-taker for TKR in the tournament, having picked up 15 wickets from six matches at an economy rate of 7.15. In the previous match, he picked up two wickets and showed his class. Rampaul will again be looking to get amongst the wickets.

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