TKR vs SKN: Team Preview

Trinbago Knight Riders

The Knight Riders is the most decorated team in CPL history with four titles and they will be to put their dismal last season behind them. Despite being the most successful team in the CPL's history, they found themselves at the bottom of the points table last season, securing only seven points.

This time, under the leadership of Kieron Pollard and backed by stalwarts like Dwayne Bravo, Sunil Narine, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Rilee Rossouw, and Matheesha Pathirana, they will aim to reclaim their past glory.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have one CPL title to their name which they won in 2021. Having concluded their previous season in fifth place with eight points, they'll be keen to step up their game.

With heavy hitters like Evin Lewis, Dewald Brevis, Ambati Rayudu, Sherfane Rutherford, Tristan Stubbs, and the fiesty Sheldon Cottrell, the Patriots have a well-rounded squad capable of giving their opponents a run for their money. They will like to start their CPL 2023 campaign on a winning note.

TKR vs SKN: Pitch Report

Insights from the first two matches indicate that the pitch at Gros Islet has something for everyone. While pacers have dominated early with the new ball, spinners have made their presence felt as the match progresses. A strategic change of pace seems to be a decisive factor. Batsmen, on the other hand, should practice patience, finding their rhythm before launching into aggressive mode. Interestingly, teams batting first have taken home victories in the first two matches, and with an impressive average first innings score of 194, the toss-winning captain might just opt to bat first.
