Patriots v Knight Riders – CPL Betting Tips, Latest Odds, Team News, Predictions – 06/09/2020

The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have had a poor CPL campaign and are already out of the running for a semi-final berth.

The Trinbago Knight Riders have been in dominant form and have already secured a spot in the final four teams. Here are our CPL betting tips for this match.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots v Trinbago Knight Riders – Match Preview

St Kitts lost to Trinbago earlier in the CPL 2020 and haven’t beaten the favourites in their last five attempts. Perhaps they will snatch a consolation win here.

Where: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad

When: Sunday, 6 September 2020

Start time: 14:00 GMT (19:30 IST)

Pitch conditions: Trinidad have the three top totals in the CPL 2020. All three were collected at this ground. They, indeed, have been capitalising on home advantage. The Tarouba pitch has offered the spinner some good bounce.

Weather conditions: The heavy rains that limited play in the week leading up to this match might relent a bit. But some showers are still predicted. If the match is shortened, this could benefit the team batting second.

St Kitts are priced at 2.6 with the same betting site.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots v Trinbago Knight Riders – Team News

The Patriots can look back at a campaign that needed more from Australian duo Chris Lynn and Ben Dunk in this CPL 2020.

Joshua de Silva and Denesh Ramdin have done well in bursts in the middle order, but Evin Lewis has had to carry too much of the responsibility at the top.

Here’s one last chance for the St Kitts batsmen to gel as a unit, which could bode well for their next campaign.

It’s also a good opportunity for them to turn the bench and give bowlers who haven’t played much some game time. Perhaps Alzarri Joseph will play alongside – not instead of – Sheldon Cottrell.

With a semi-final berth sealed, this match is a big chance for Trinbago to try different combinations ahead of the play-offs.

They might want to rest some of their big stars like Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine again.

Pravin Tambe and Tion Webster can still push for selection in the preferred XI for the semi-final.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots v Trinbago Knight Riders – Betting Tips and Prediction

The Knight Riders won the reverse fixture and it’s hard to see St Kitts finding a way to overcome them this time around.

Trinbago would be the selection in the overall match winner market.

However, there are also loads of other markets to look into ahead of this clash.

Back Lynn to be Top for St Kitts

Chris Lynn looks to have finally found a bit of form for St Kitts.

He has been a little hit and miss like most of the Patriots this campaign but has recently looked to have more rhythm at the crease.

Lynn hit 34 in the reverse fixture and was 23 not out when their previous game was halted by the weather.

He can be backed at 3.58 with 22Bet to be his team’s top batsman.

Hosein to Star with the Ball

For those liking a long-shot bet, it could be worth looking at Akeal Hosein in the Trinbago top bowler market.

He was wicketless in his previous contest but has been in decent form prior to that. Backing him to get back among the wickets now could be a good move at a big 9.0 with 22Bet.

Hosein picked up wickets in his three previous matches before the Zouks last time up, including two scalps against the Tridents. His slow left-arm bowling could suit the pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium and could benefit as the St Kitts batsmen look to score off him.

Simmons and Lynn to Hit a Six

We like the look of this bet, which is also with 22Bet. You can back Lendl Simmons and Chris Lynn both to hit a six at the price of 2.4.

Powerhouse Lynn looks to be seeing the ball a lot better at the moment and is more than capable of freeing his arms for a big hit. He has managed a maximum in his last three outings.

Simmons has smashed a six in his last five, including six of them when these two last met.
