Who will win Barbados Tridents vs Trinbago Knight Riders, CPL 2019?
After suffering back-to-back defeats, Barbados Tridents will look to get themselves back on the winning track when they face-off against Trinbago Knight Riders. This 23rd match of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League 2019 will be played on September 26 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Live telecast is scheduled to begin at 6 PM local time.
Barbados Tridents lost their previous encounter to Jamaica Tallawahs on Monday at this very ground. Winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Tridents restricted the Tallawahs to an under-par score of 127. Their chase, however, did not get off to a good start and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals to eventually fall short of their target by five runs. Trinbago Knight Riders, on the other hand, had to share points with St Lucia Zouks in their last match which ended in a washout. In the game before, they were involved in a tied encounter against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at Basseterre. The Knight Riders, however, ended up losing the one-over eliminator.

BT vs TKR Toss Prediction
The toss-winning team opted to bowl first in both the matches that have been played at this ground this season. Since the pitch is unlikely to change after the first period of play, the team that wins the toss here will probably continue the trend of bowling first.
BT vs TKR Weather Report
A full game of forty overs seems likely on the cards with no rain threat on Thursday evening. Clear skies with temperature around 27-28 degrees Celsius have been forecast for the match. Humidity is expected to be between 76% and 81%.
BT vs TKR Pitch Condition
The Kensington Oval has produced low to moderate totals in the two matches that it has hosted so far this CPL. Jamaica Tallawahs managed to defend 127 here last time out which shows that the pitch has plenty in it for the bowlers. Once again, batsmen may have to grind it out to score their runs.

Barbados Tridents Team News & Playing 11
BT Team News
Barbados Tridents brought in England's left-arm pace bowler Harry Gurney in the previous match against Jamaica Tallawahs as a replacement for the Australian all-rounder Dan Christian who is no longer available for the remainder of the tournament. Nepal's leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane will also bid goodbye to the Tridents after the game against Trinbago Knight Riders and he is set to be replaced by Shakib Al Hasan. The Bangladeshi all-rounder will be joining the team ahead of the game against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots on September 28. Barbados Tridents are unlikely to make changes in their line-up for this Thursday's encounter.
BT Key Players
Johnson Charles: With 153 runs in six matches, Johnson Charles is one of the leading run-scorers for Barbados Tridents in this year's Caribbean Premier League. The opening batsman had cracked a half-century against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots a couple of weeks ago at Basseterre and looked in good touch in his knock of 31 last time out against Jamaica Tallawahs.
Jason Holder: He is currently the tournament's second-best bowler having picked nine wickets at a pretty good economy rate of 6.56. The skipper took 2-21 in the last match and is a key figure in the team's bowling unit. Holder is also a handy batsman down the order.
Sandeep Lamichhane: The 19-year old leg-spinner from Nepal is another big threat with the ball in the Tridents' line-up. He is among the top ten bowlers of the CPL 2019 with eight wickets in six matches and was the pick of the bowlers against Jamaica Tallawahs with figures of 2-17.
BT Recent Form
Barbados Tridents have won two and lost four out of the six matches they have played so far in this year's Caribbean Premier League and are currently positioned fourth in the league standings with four points in the bag. After losing two of their first three fixtures, the Tridents then registered a crushing 71-run win over St Lucia Zouks at Gros Islet. They, however, will be going into the Thursday's clash on the back of two consecutive losses - against Guyana Amazon Warriors and Jamaica Tallawahs.
Barbados Tridents Predicted Playing 11

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
TKR Team News
Trinbago Knight Riders made only one change to their side in the rained-out encounter against St Lucia Zouks last Saturday at Gros Islet - they dropped bowling all-rounder Mark Deyal for Akeal Hosein as a like-for-like replacement. The team will now have a new opening combination on Thursday with Lendl Simmons likely to pair up with Colin Munro at the top. Darren Bravo could be pushed up at number three with skipper Kieron Pollard keeping his number four slot. Akeal Hosein, the left-arm spinner, could once again open the bowling for the team. We expect the Knight Riders to go into this match unchanged.
TKR Key Players
Lendl Simmons: The opener is hitting top form and is definitely a key man for Trinbago Knight Riders as far as batting is concerned. Simmons is currently the tournament's second-best batsman with 261 runs at an average of 52.20. His last three innings' scores read: 63, 86 and 90.
James Neesham: He has been one of the most consistent performers with the ball in this year's CPL having chipped in with nine wickets in six matches. The Kiwi all-rounder is one of the team's strike bowlers and his hard-hitting ability makes him a danger man with the bat as well.
Kieron Pollard: The skipper has been among the runs this season - 170 runs - and is having an impressive average of 85 and a strike-rate of 158.87. The explosive batsman can be unstoppable on his day and can win games on his own. Pollard has also taken four wickets in the tournament.
TKR Recent Form
With four wins and just one loss from six matches and with nine points in their kitty, Trinbago Knight Riders find themselves in a very comfortable position at the second spot on the Caribbean Premier League points table. They got their campaign off to a brilliant start with wins in their first four fixtures on the bounce. Their solitary defeat came against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots last week at Basseterre. The game had initially ended in a tie before the Knight Riders went down in the super over. Their previous encounter against St Lucia Zouks had to be called off due to persistent rain.
Trinbago Knight Riders Predicted Playing 11
Lendl Simmons, Colin Munro, Kieron Pollard (c), Darren Bravo, James Neesham, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Seekkuge Prasanna, Akeal Hosein, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Ali Khan

🏆 Barbados Tridents vs Trinbago Knight Riders Prediction
Barbados Tridents and Trinbago Knight Riders are both coming off a defeat in their respective last match. But the Tridents will be under a bit more pressure having lost their last two matches and with just four points from six matches. They are a pretty strong side with plenty of big names on their roster like Alex Hales, Johnson Charles, JP Duminy and Jason Holder, but they are struggling to fire together as a unit. The Knight Riders have looked a far better team this season and most of their players, especially Lendl Simmons have been performing quite consistently. Though the Tridents will be playing on their home ground, we are backing the Knight Riders here to better their already impressive record against them.
