Barbados Tridents vs St Lucia Zouks, CPL T20
Barbados Tridents meet St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League as the defending champions search desperately for some consistent form. The match takes place at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, on August 30 and the live action starts at 10:00 local time.
The Zouks won a rain-affected game when these teams last met and Barbados Tridents have lost four from six in total this season. The most recent of those was a thrilling two-wicket loss to Trinbago Knight Riders with one ball to spare, as they narrowly missed out on defending 148/7.
St Lucia Zouks also lost to the Knight Riders recently but bounced back with their fourth win in six games. Mohammad Nabi took an excellent 5-15 against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and the Zouks needed just 14.4 overs to chase 111 to win by six wickets.

Barbados Team News
Barbados Tridents were unchanged again last time out and may again stick to the same XI, having favoured consistency despite their lack of wins so far.

- Rashid Khan: Claimed his 300th T20 wicket last time these teams met and bowled tidily to claim 1-21 from his four overs last time out.
- Jason Holder: Excellent with the bat in the first few matches, including against the Zouks, and more recently he has found some bowling form – taking 2-27 last time out.
- Johnson Charles: Hit 47 to top score last time out, narrowly missing out on a second half-century of the tournament. He still has 165 runs so far.
Barbados Team Form
Barbados Tridents have won just two of their six games so far in CPL 2020.

They lost narrowly to Trinbago Knight Riders last time out, however – a two-wicket loss with one ball to spare defending 148/7.
