St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team is free from all injury concerns at the moment and the selectors are likely to retain the same lineup that beat Trinbago Knight Riders in the first qualifier a couple of days ago.
Key Players
The opening pair of Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis hold the key for the Patriots when it comes to batting. Gayle has hit four fifties this CPL and two of those have come against the Knight Riders. Lewis has also been very consistent with five good scores in his last seven knocks. Sheldon Cottrell is one bowler in this attack that Trinbago will be wary of as he took three wickets against them in the first qualifier. Mohammad Nabi has been economical throughout the season and batsmen could find it difficult to score off him.
Recent Form
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots were impressive with the ball in their previous two matches, first restricting Barbados Tridents to 128 and then Trinbago Knight Riders to 111. They have won three and lost two of their last five encounters and will be going into the final off the back of two consecutive victories.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team has replaced legspinner Shadab Khan with his fellow Pakistani countryman Yasir Shah. Shadab is set to return home to play for his national side against a World XI team in three T20 internationals.
Key Players
Colin Munro struck an unbeaten fifty to take the Knight Riders home in the run-chase against Guyana Amazon Warriors in the second qualifier. He has been the team's biggest hope with the bat in this year's CPL and he will be expected to fire in this all-important final. Dwayne Bravo has shone with the ball for the Knight Riders, picking up 16 wickets from 12 matches. The seamer claimed a four-fer against the Patriots in the first qualifier at this ground and he stands a good chance of troubling them again on the same surface.
Recent Form
After a couple of poor batting performances that cost them the games against Barbados Tridents (final league-stage match) and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (Qualifier 1), Trinbago Knight Riders put up an improved show with the bat to edge past Guyana Amazon Warriors in Qualifier 2. The team has three wins and two losses from its last five fixtures.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in CPL 2017
This has been the best performance by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in a Caribbean Premier League season. A side that ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard in its first two seasons had its squad overhauled and will now be making its first appearance in the finals of the CPL this year. With six wins, three defeats and one wash-out, the Patriots finished the league round as the second placed team on the points table before making a direct entry into the final by getting the better of Trinbago Knight Riders in the first qualifier.
Trinbago Knight Riders in CPL 2017
Trinbago Knight Riders have been the most consistent of all the teams in this year's Caribbean Premier League. They won eight out of their ten league matches to finish at the pole position in the standings before the start of the playoffs. After suffering a 38-run defeat at the hands of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the first qualifier, the Knight Riders bounced back to beat Guyana Amazon Warriors by six wickets in the second qualifier.
St Kitts vs Trinbago Head to Head
Trinbago Knight Riders have won five out of the seven matches they have played against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League - a win percentage of 71.43. The two teams last faced each other just two days back in the first qualifier at Tarouba which also happens to be the venue for this final. The Patriots ended up winning that game convincingly by 38 runs.
St Kitts vs Trinbago Final Betting Odds
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots begin as favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this final match of the CPL 2017. While 1xbet is offering a best price of 1.73 on them, the sportsbook has set Trinbago Knight Riders at a slightly higher odds of 2.08. Bet365 is offering 1.72 on st Kitts and 2.10 on Trinbago. This could very well be due to the outcome of the previous match-up between these two teams where the Patriots proved to be a little too strong for the Knight Riders in the end.
St Kitts vs Trinbago Final Prediction
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots made some drastic changes to their side before the start of the CPL 2017 and this has surely paid off as they have reached the finals for the first time in the history of the tournament. Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis have exhibited fantastic form and their recent victory over Trinbago Knight Riders will help the side grow more in confidence. However, Trinbago have been the better of the two sides when it comes to their head-to-head record. They have an upper hand here having beaten the Patriots three times in their last four encounters and so we predict the former champions to bag their second CPL title in three years.
Final Verdict: Back Trinbago Knight Riders to beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the final match of the Caribbean Premier League 2017 at 2.08 with 1xbet and 2.10 with Bet365.
