CPL 2021 Preview: Trinbago seek to book semis spot, Patriots to take stage for final dress rehearsal

The Patriots and Trinbago Knight Riders will be up against each other in the final match of the league stage on Monday in St Kitts. 

The two sides faced each other in the last encounter on Sunday at the same venue where the Patriots rode on a brilliant hundred from Evin Lewis to win the match by 8 wickets while chasing a target of 160 in 20 overs and cement a place in the semi-final. 

The SKNP side has already qualified for the semis but will look to carry the momentum before going into the knockouts. 

Lewis was in terrific form in the last match while Chris Gayle got a quick-fire 35 off 18 during the course. 

Apart from these two, the Patriots have some prominent names such as Ravi Bopara, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen and Sheldon Cottrell in the ranks while Sherfane Rutherford is going through a brilliant run in the competition. 

On the other side, Trinbago will have to win this final encounter. But the Knight Riders’ bowling attack struggled against the Patriots baring Sunil Narine who just gave away 10 runs in 4 overs. 

Moreover, the Trinbago team had a dismal run while fielding as well as they dropped some catches during the course. 

While it is going to be a dress rehearsal for Patriots, the TKR team management has some issues to fix before the side takes the field.

IPL 2021: Flow was broken once tournament was suspended, will have to rebuild our energy, says Dhawan

Delhi Capitals batsman Shikhar Dhawan has said that he is excited about the resumption of the Indian Premier League but also admitted that the side will have to gather again to get into the groove. “I am looking forward to the IPL season. I am very excited to play the upcoming matches,” Dhawan was quoted as saying in a statement released. “We were in a certain flow in the first half of the season and then that flow was broken once the tournament was suspended. So we have to rebuild our energy and get back on the flow we were in,” the left-handed batsman added. The right-handed batsman Shreyas Iyer is also back in the side after he had missed the first half after sustaining a shoulder injury during the England series at home. Talking about Iyer, Dhawan said that the right-hander’s presence in the line up will add to the strength. “The good thing is that our team is well balanced and Shreyas Iyer is back in the side as well, so our team is even stronger now,” said Dhawan. The IPL 2021 was suspended on May 4 after there were Covid-19 positive cases within the franchise but the cash-rich league will now be resumed in the UAE from September 19 with Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings in the first fixture of the second leg. Delhi Capitals were in good form in the first phase of the IPL and were sitting at the helm of the points table when the tournament was halted. DC will now resume the tournament against Sunrisers Hyderabad on September 22 in Dubai.

CPL 2021 | GAW vs JT: With semi-final berth on stake, Guyana lock horns with Jamaica

Guyana Amazon Warriors just need to stick to the basics as they take on Jamaica Tallawahs to cement a place in the semi-final. The Warriors have won five out of the nine matches that they have played while Jamaica have won four matches out of the nine matches that they have featured in. The Tallawahs will not just have to win the encounter against Guyana but they would need to clinch a victory with a big margin to maintain a good net run-rate. Guyana are coming into this game on the back of a comprehensive win over Jamaica in their last encounter that they won by 46 runs. Nicholas Pooran was on song as he notched up an unbeaten 75 off 39 deliveries while the bowlers too performed brilliantly and bundled the opposition out for 123 while chasing 170 in 20 overs. On the other side, Jamaica struggled with both bat and ball against the Warriors. Moreover, all-rounder Andre Russell hasn’t really unveiled a performance of his class barring the fifty he scored against the Kings earlier in the competition. The Jamaican team would surely want him to go all guns blazing in this all important match.
