St Lucia Kings were given a lesson in T20 hitting in their opening game and must surely be able to bowl with more control in this match to keep them in contention.

Saint Lucia Kings Team News & Playing 11
SLK Team News
Although the opening game defeat against Jamaica Tallawahs was so emphatic, we expect the Kings to give all of the XI another opportunity to find their form in the tournament. That will mean that Wahab Riaz keeps his place in spite of conceding 0-61 from 3 overs.
SLK Key Players
- Tim David- the Singapore international lit up the Men’s Hundred Final with the direct hit run-out from the boundary of dangerman Liam Livingstone. He followed it up with a half-century in his first 2021 CPL game.
- Faf du Plessis- the captain will be hurting from his team and personal performance in the first game. However, he has hit many runs in franchise cricket this year and will be back doing the same very soon.
- Wahab Riaz- the Pakistan paceman is one of the world’s best T20 bowlers and will be busting a gut to show that his figures of 0-61 were a one-off.
Not many teams concede 255 runs in a T20 match but St Lucia Kings will be keen to prove they are a far better side than that in this contest.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
TKR Team News
After suffering their first defeat in the tournament since 2019 in the opening game, the Knight Riders had captain Kieron Pollard to thank for rescuing them from 38-4 against Barbados Royals. They still look fallible but showed signs of the champions in the last game.
TKR Key Players
- Denesh Ramdin- the experienced keeper-batsman played a crucial role alongside Kieron Pollard in the victory over Barbados Royals. He hit 29 not out and took 2 catches in the game.
- Kieron Pollard- the captain showed his worth to the side with 9 boundaries from his 30 balls at the crease as he took the Knight Riders home in the last game.
- Isuru Udana- the Sri Lanka paceman became the first player of this year’s tournament to pick up a 5-wicket haul in the win over Barbados Royals.
Nowhere near the unstoppable force of the 2020 season as yet, but Trinbago Knight Riders will be delighted to have got that first win of CPL 2021 so soon after the defeat to Guyana Amazon Warriors
