Trevon Griffith made his first appearance of CPL 2017 competition opening the batting against St Kitts and hit 42 off 32 balls.

Kingstonian Andre McCarthy has scored the most runs for Jamaica, however – 175, including two half-centuries. With the ball, Kesrick Williams’ 12 wickets puts him top of the league’s leading wicket takers list – the paceman strikes on average once every two overs.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Trinbago Knight Riders go into this game having extended their lead at the top of the points table thanks to a stunning win in the rain-affected match against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Brendan McCullum and Darren Bravo were at their destructive best with the bat. The Knight Riders have been fairly consistent with their team selections so far.
Key Players
Brendan McCullum hit five fours and three sixes in his 14-ball 40 as Trinbago chased down 88 to win in just 32 balls last time out. Darren Bravo, meanwhile, hit six sixes as he powered to an unbeaten 38 from ten balls. New Zealander Colin Munro has scored the most runs for Trinbago, however – 231 at an average of 38.5 and a strike rate of more than 140. With the ball, wickets have been shared – Shadab Khan has ten at 14.6, Sunil Narine has a cheap nine (his economy rate is less than run a ball), while Dwayne Bravo and Kevon Cooper have also weighed in with nine apiece.
Recent Form
Trinbago have lost just one of their eight matches so far this season – though that did come in their most recent meeting with Jamaica. The Knight Riders are top of the points table, three points clear of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots after beating them in their last (rain-affected) match.
