Barbados Tridents vs Trinbago Knight Riders, CPL T20
Unbeaten Trinbago Knight Riders will be looking for a sixth consecutive win at the start of the 2020 Caribbean Premier League when they take on defending champions Barbados Tridents. The match takes place at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, on August 29 and the live action starts at 10:00 local time.
Barbados Tridents started their title defence with a win but suffered three consecutive defeats afterwards – including against Trinbago. They go into this match on the back of beating Jamaica Tallawahs, however, and will be keen to kick on from getting back to winning ways. Kyle Mayers was their star man, hammering 85 in a 36-run win.
Trinbago Knight Riders have won all five matches they have played, however. Most recently they restricted Guyana Amazon Warriors to 112/7 thanks to Khary Pierre’s 3-18 and stormed to a seven-wicket win. They have enjoyed a number of key performances so far, including by Darren and Dwayne Bravo.

Trinbago Team News
Sunil Narine has missed the last two matches of Caribbean Premier League 2020 season, with Tion Webster opening the batting in his place and first Pravin Tambe and then Sikandar Raza filling the void he leaves with the ball. If fit, Narine will return but Trinbago could be unchanged.
Trinbago Key Players
- Colin Munro: A first-baller last time out but his half-century when these teams last met is more reflective of his recent batting form.

- Darren Bravo: Got the Knight Riders over the line last time out to continue his excellent batting form across the last few matches.

Khary Pierre took 3-18 as they limited the Amazon Warriors to 112/7 and the Knight Riders chased it comfortably to win by seven wickets with ten balls to spare.
