Trinbago Knight Riders v Barbados Tridents – Team News

There probably won’t be too many changes for either team for this clash.

Dwayne Bravo is one wicket away from being the first player to reach 100 CPL wickets. He also needs just 46 more runs to get to the 1,000-run milestone for the Knight Riders.

Pravin Tambe hasn’t featured so far for the Knight Riders so he could be considered for this one.

The Tridents are likely to again look to spin options with Rashid Khan, Mitchell Santner and Hayden Walsh Jr.

Shai Hope hasn’t hit top gear with the bat so far but does need just one more stumping to go clear of Umar Akmal in the Barbados record books.

Justin Greaves is an option for the Tridents if they want to freshen up their line-up. Shamarh Brooks didn’t play in the previous game and will also be pushing for a return to the side.

Trinbago Knight Riders v Barbados Tridents – Betting Tips and Prediction

This is an intriguing clash between two strong units. Slight favour is with the Knight Riders to get the win after an impressive start to their campaign.

However, there are far more markets to bet on than just the outright match winner.

Back Munro to Top Score for Trinbago

Colin Munro only managed 17 in the opening day victory over Guyana but looked to have found form when hitting an unbeaten 49 against the Tallawahs.

He has a fine CPL record and looks ready to add more runs to his name here. He can be backed at 3.5 with bet365 to be Trinbago’s top batsman.

Rashid to be Top Bowler for Tridents

Rashid Khan has been a constant threat with the ball in the opening two games for the Tridents.

He took two wickets against St Kitts and Nevis in the first fixture before bagging two more against the Zouks.

He is priced at 2.75 with LeoVegas to be the top wicket-taker for Barbados. It looks a solid bet given his form and the conditions.

Captain Holder to Fire for Barbados

Captain Jason Holder has done well with the bat in the opening two games and looks a good bet to be the top run-scorer for Barbados in this clash.

He started the tournament with 38 against the Patriots before making a 12-ball 27 against St Lucia. With the Tridents batting line up struggling ahead of him, his price looks far too big.

He can be backed at 8.5 with LeoVegas to be the best batsman for Barbados
