Barbados Tridents vs St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, CPL 2020
Barbados Tridents start their Caribbean Premier League when they take on St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the second scheduled game of the 2020 tournament at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba. The match takes place on August 18 and is scheduled to start at 17:30 local time.
The Tridents were victorious at this ground last time out, beating Guyana Amazon Warriors in last year’s final as Raymon Reifer bowled them to victory. Hayden Walsh Jr’s form in the latter part of the tournament was also key, but they will be without key players from that win – Harry Gurney and Alex Hales. Marcus Stoinis and Wahab Riaz have also had to withdraw.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots lost in the play-offs last season. Captain Carlos Brathwaite has left this season, meaning Rayad Emrit leads a team who have recruited big-hitting Chris Lynn for the 2020 season.

Barbados Tridents Team News & Playing 11
Barbados Team News
Barbados Tridents have been forced into some key changes for this year’s tournament. Harry Gurney and Alex Hales, top players last season, both miss out as do Wahab Riaz and Marcus Stoinis. They do still have captain Jason Holder and top players like Johnson Charles, Shai Hope, Hayden Walsh Jr and Raymon Reifer. Rashid Khan is a big-name signing.
Barbados Key Players
- Hayden Walsh Jr: His excellent bowling form in the latter half of last season’s tournament earned him the Player of the Series award and a West Indies call-up.
- Raymon Reifer: Starred with the ball in the two wins at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy last season to bowl Barbados Tridents to the title.
- Johnson Charles: Already in big-hitting batting form since cricket’s resumption, scoring well in the St Lucia T10 Blast.
Barbados Team Form
Barbados Tridents won last year’s Caribbean Premier League after a resurgent run of form. They beat Trinbago Knight Riders to book their place in the final, and then saw off Guyana Amazon Warriors with Raymon Reifer in wicket-taking form in those last two games.
Barbados Tridents Predicted Playing 11
Johnson Charles, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope (wk), Jonathan Carter, Shamarh Brooks, Corey Anderson, Jason Holder (c), Mitchell Santner, Rashid Khan, Raymon Reifer, Hayden Walsh Jr
St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
St Kitts Team News
With Carlos Brathwaite having switched franchises, Rayad Emrit will lead the Patriots in this season of CPL. Chris Lynn was their big-name acquisition but, for the second consecutive season, they will be without Rassie van der Dussen. Fabian Allen was an unexpected loss after he missed his charter flight to Trinidad.
St Kitts Key Players
- Chris Lynn: One of the leading T20 batsmen in the world, the big-hitting opener tends to make a big impact wherever he plays.
- Evin Lewis: Could be set to form an explosive opening partnership with Lynn, as he can have exactly the same big impact up the order.
- Alzarri Joseph: The young paceman had the West Indies’ tour of England to find his form again and can carry his form into the T20 game too.
St Kitts Team Form
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots finished third last season but then lost to fourth-placed Trinbago Knight Riders in the first eliminator. They posted just 125/7 and lost by six wickets with eight balls to spare.
St Kitts & Nevis Predicted Playing 11
Evin Lewis, Chris Lynn, Ben Dunk, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Imran Khan, Dominic Drankes, Sohail Tanvir, Rayad Emrit (c), Alzarri Joseph, Ish Sodhi, Sheldon Cottrell
