CPL 2024, TKR vs SKN: Team Previews

Trinbago Knight Riders

The Trinbago Knight Riders, under Kieron Pollard, is ranked among the top four sides on the CPL 2024 points table by securing four wins from their six matches. After registering three wins in a row, the Knight Riders recently had their winning run halted by the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons.

In a bid to defeat the Patriots in the upcoming match, the Knight Riders team management will once again rely on their in-form batters Nicholas Pooran, Shaqkere Parris and Keacy Carty. Captain Kieron Pollard has also made handy runs at blistering strike rates for his team off late. Spinners Sunil Narine and Waqar Salamkheil have ably helmed the Knight Riders bowling attack as the two cricketers find themselves among the four leading wicket-takers of the season.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots

The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have coped eight defeats in a row to languish at the bottom of the CPL 2024 points table. Their lone win of the season occurred in the tournament opener when they defeated Antigua & Barbuda Falcons in a last-ball thriller. While the Patriots franchise is already out of the season’s playoffs race, they will be aiming to bow out on a winning note.

Despite their struggles as a team, the Patriots batting line-up seems to be operating as a well-oiled unit, considering players like Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher and Kyle Mayers have all stacked up heaps of runs this season at blistering strike rates. The bowling department, meanwhile, is guided by South African thunderbolt Anrich Nortje and Sri Lankan spin wizard Wanindu Hasaranga.
