St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
As always, the team will look to Chris Gayle to deliver the goods with the bat. He hasn't fired since scoring 66* against Guyana and the Patriots will be hoping that he returns to his old destructive self once again. Jonathan Carter who scored in 40s in both the matches against the Tridents last year will be the key in the middle order. The team's bowling department will rely heavily on Mohammad Nabi who has been their most impressive bowler so far. The offspinner has taken six wickets from four games and he is likely to trouble the Tridents here.

Kieron Pollard has been the star performer with the bat for them so far this season with a couple of fifties from four matches and the Tridents should find themselves in a good position if he gets going again. Shoaib Malik smashed a fifty against Trinbago in the last game and the team will expect another valuable contribution from him. Wahab Riaz and Wayne Parnell have been the pick of the bowlers with seven and six wickets respectively. The two are likely to share the new ball and they will be backed by their skipper to pick up early wickets.

St Kitts vs Barbados Betting Odds
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are playing on their home ground and have begun their CPL 2017 campaign on a positive note with three wins from their first four fixtures. This could be the reason why they are favorites among the bookmakers to win this match at 1.71 with Betfair and 1.72 with Bet365. Barbados Tridents have so far not been able to win consecutive matches this season. They have won two and lost as many from four games and are up at 2.08 with Betfair and 2.10 with Bet365.
St Kitts vs Barbados Prediction
The two teams have faced each other four times in the past with both having won on two occasions each. Barbados Tridents defeated St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in both their encounters last year (one of which was played at this ground) and this will definitely give them an upper hand going into this game. Also, the Patriots don't have a good recent record at this venue as they lost three out of the four matches they played here in the 2016 season. The Tridents have better balance in their side and so we feel they have a slightly better chance of winning this match.
Final Verdict: Back Barbados Tridents to beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in this 16th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2017 at 2.08 with Betfair and 2.10 with Bet365.
