ABF vs TKR Live Score: Captains Though's

Chris Green (Antigua & Barbuda Falcons Captain): "There are some different theories floating on the bus trip about how I toss the coin. I tell them it's 50-50. The team is closer than ever. Hopefully, when I get to call during the toss sometime around, I will get it right. We spoke about expressing ourselves. We're enjoying each other's company. It's the last home game for us. We have two close games and two where we were outplayed. We need to be positive now.

Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders Captain): "Since he wanted to bat first, I am going to let him (Chris Green) bat first. The ball will come onto the bat a bit better. Not sure about the dew. If we bowl well and bowl them out cheaply, it will be good for us. Had a good couple of days to train. Selection is always going to be difficult. Jason Roy has gone back so Andries Gous comes in his place. Andre Russell is in for Dwayne Bravo."
