The Knight Riders have been led by Darren Bravo with the bat. He tops their run-scorer charts so far and will be key again.

Barbados Tridents v Trinbago Knight Riders – Betting Tips and Prediction

While the Tridents will be a threat with the ball in hand, they may find it hard to live with the batting prowess of the Knight Riders.

As ever, there are lots of other markets to look at when betting on this fixture.

Mayers to be Top Batsman for Tridents

Kyle Mayers has been in good form for the Tridents despite their recent rocky patch.

He’s managed 23 against St Kitts before bursting to life with a fine 85 against the Tallawahs. With those above him struggling for form, he looks a decent bet to be the Tridents’ top run-scorer.

Mayers can be backed at 6.50 with 10CRIC to take that accolade.

He could also be considered in the player of the match market. His ability to get wickets as well as runs was highlighted by the two St Kitts batsmen he sent packing. He didn’t bowl in the following game but might be needed in this one.

He is priced at 15.0 with LeoVegas to be named as the game’s top performer.

Darren Bravo’s Price is Too Big

Darren Bravo is the Trinbago top run-scorer so far this tournament. Give how well he has batted, his price of 6.0 with LeoVegas to be his team’s top batman in this fixture is just too big to ignore.

A solid 26 against the Amazon Warriors and 23 against the Zouks suggest he could also be on the brink of going much bigger. He’s a solid selection considering his price.

Seifert an Outside Bet

One player to also be interested in with this market is New Zealander Tim Seifert. He can be destructive with the bat and highlighted his ability with 39 against the Amazon Warriors last time.

His price of 10.0 with 10CRIC to be the top batsman for Trinbago is also worth a look. He could take advantage should his side lose early wickets.
