Trinbago Knight Riders v St Lucia Zouks – Match Preview

Trinbago and St Lucia met earlier in the CPL 2020. The Knight Riders won that match comfortably. The Zouks actually haven’t beaten the Knight Riders in their last five attempts.

Where: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad

When: Saturday, 5 September 2020

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

Pitch conditions: A score of around 150 from the team batting first remains competitive here. The spinners are certainly enjoying a bit more bounce in Tarouba than they did in Port of Spain.

Weather conditions: Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, more rain is predicted in Tarouba on Saturday. Hopefully this won’t cause a full washout, but it might shorten the match. The team that bats second normally benefits during shortened fixtures.

Trinbago Knight Riders v St Lucia Zouks – Team News

Trinbago have remained undefeated throughout the campaign, even though they have left out star duo Sunil Narine and Dwayne Bravo in the CPL 2020 on occasion.

They have two batsmen – Colin Munro and Lendl Simmons – with more than 200 runs for the season so far. Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard have also been solid with the bat.

Bowling-wise, the wickets have been relatively evenly shared between Dwayne Bravo, Narine, Jayden Seales, Sikandar Raza and Fawad Ahmed.

Head coach Andy Flower recently highlight the importance of Roston Chase and Mohammad Nabi to the Zouks’ campaign – and he couldn’t be more right.

Chase and Nabi have performed consistently well with bat and ball. The latter will play in the Indian Premier League next month, too.

Scott Kuggeleijn and Kesrick Williams have been among the Zouks’ stars with the ball. Both are seamers who have managed to succeed in conditions that are otherwise more conducive to spin.

Trinbago Knight Riders v St Lucia Zouks – Betting Tips and Prediction

There is plenty more to bet on in this match other than the outright markets. Our team of experts have these three top CPL betting tips for you.

Bet on Simmons to be the Top Batsman for Trinbago

Lendl Simmons is Trinbago’s highest run-scorer in the CPL 2020 and almost scored a century against the Patriots. He hasn’t really failed in each of his last four innings.

At the top of the order, he has plenty of time to really get settled in for the long haul – well, 20 overs. He is looking really good as Trinbago’s top batsman in this match at 3.74 with 22Bet.

Choose a Wicket to Fall in the First Over of the Match

If you are placing multiple bets on one match, it’s nice to get a result early on. That’s why we are fans of Unibet’s offer of 4.25 for a wicket to be taken in the first over of the match.

This could bring good value, especially if underdogs St Lucia bat first and the Trinbago Knight Riders snare a very early breakthrough.

Pick Chase to be the Player of the Match

Roston Chase has done an outstanding job of not being pigeonholed as a Test cricketer during the CPL 2020. He has been superb with bat and ball, outdoing other big-name players.

Being an all-rounder, he has the opportunity to impress in both innings. That’s why 22Bet’s price of Chase as player of the match at 13.0 is attractive for those who who want a long-odds bet.
