St Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Predictions

All the Kings batters are struggling to put numbers on the board. The Trinbago batters are in much better form with the bat, which gives them a major advantage in this match.

Trinbago Knight Riders’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 65*, 35 & 97 in his last 5 innings.
Trinbago Knight Riders’ Andries Gouws has scored 21, 43 & 39 in his last 3 innings.
St Lucia Kings’ Johnson Charles top-scored with 47* against the Falcons.
St Lucia Kings’ Tim Seifert scored 26* off 11 balls against the Falcons.

Head-to-Head

The Kings have won three of their last five matches against Trinbago, including two of the last three matches. Trinbago have racked up two wins in that time, including the most recent match in September last year.

St Lucia Kings Form

After picking up two big back-to-back wins, the Kings, lost to the Amazon by six wickets with half of their overs unbowled.

The Kings collapsed to 49/6 after seven overs, but a brisk 31 off 21 balls from No 8 Matthew Forde helped them limp to 100 all out off 14.3 overs.

The Warriors raced to the win off just 10 overs for the loss of four wickets. Noor Ahmed did his best to restrict the Amazon, taking 3/22 at an economy rate of 5.50.

St Lucia Kings Team News

The Kings will be looking for a big improvement in their batting as they push for a playoff place.

Trinbago Knight Riders Form

After beating the Patriots, Trinbago became the Falcons’ first victims of the season

The Falcons put up a fine batting display to reach 176/6 off their 20 overs, with Waqar Salamkheil (2/27) performing the best with the ball.

Andries Gous top-scored with 39 off 33 balls, but Trinbago slipped to 79/4 in the 12th over, leaving them well below the asking rate. Keacy Carty (34 off 22) and Kieron Pollard (30 off 15) got them back in the hunt, but they fell six runs short at the end of their 20 overs.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News

Trinbago Knight Riders are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
