Trinbago Knight Riders will take on Saint Lucia Kings again on 31 August, in Match 9 of the CPL 2021 in St Kitts. The sides met two days ago, where Saint Lucia beat Trinbago.
Team News
Saint Lucia are unlikely to change their winning combination. They will heavily rely on Andre Fletcher and Rahkeem Cornwall at the top, but Faf du Plessis’ form has been an area of concern for them. Wahab Riaz, who conceded 61 in three overs against Jamaica Tallawahs, came back strongly against Trinbago last time, returning 1-17.
Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago are currently sitting at third in the points table, with one win and two defeats. They may recall Darren Bravo for Tion Webster. Colin Munro’s inability to score with urgency was one of the major talking points in their last encounter, against Saint Lucia. Chasing 158, Munro came at No. 3, and remained unbeaten on 40 despite facing 46 balls. Trinbago fell five runs short of the target despite losing only three wickets.
Fantasy Tips
– Fletcher, Lendl Simmons and Munro are highly dependable top-order options.
– Do not ignore Roston Chase. Rather, make him captain. Sunil Narine can be a safe vice-captain choice. Include Pollard as well.
– Rampaul, Jayden Seales, and Alzarri Joseph can be handy with the ball.
