St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
SNP Team News
The Patriots could be unchanged from their thrilling win against Barbados Tridents in their final league game. Mohammad Hafeez opened with Evin Lewis, while Dominic Drakes’ excellent final over should earn him more game time.
SNP Key Players
Carlos Brathwaite: The star of the show when these teams last met – with bat and ball, and in the super over – the Patriots captain comes into this game having taken 3-30 last time out.
Sheldon Cottrell: Back to his best last time out, bowling 14 dot balls and finishing with figures of 3-27. He took three against the Knight Riders in the opening game too and finished with 11 wickets in the group stage.
Evin Lewis: Lacks consistency with the bat in CPL 2019, but he has scored well in both games against the Knight Riders this season and hit two half-centuries in the group stage.
SNP Team Form
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots have won just one of their five matches so far. Since Rahkeem Cornwall starred in their win against Jamaica Tallawahs, they have lost the last two in a row.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots needed fewer than 15 overs to beat the Zouks, after St Lucia could only post 138/9 in their next game – the Patriots winning by six wickets. And their batting fell well short again last time out, as they were carted for 101 in reply to Barbados Tridents’ 172/6.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
TKR Team News
With Sunil Narine out, Trinbago Knight Riders have experimented with pinch hitters in the last two games but both Jimmy Neesham and Javon Searles have failed in that role. Akeal Hosein came into the team last time out and with this match at the same ground, it could be an unchanged team.
TKR Key Players
Lendl Simmons: Hit good form again in the past few matches, scoring four half-centuries in this year’s tournament in total, before adding 30 more last time out.
Kieron Pollard: Scored an unbeaten 36 in the most recent match, continuing his good batting form. The captain has scored 127 runs in the last three matches.
Khary Pierre: Started leading the spin attack in Sunil Narine’s absence. He took 1-25 in the last game, to move to six in his last six matches.
TKR Team Form
Trinbago Knight Riders have lost their last four matches in a row. That includes defeats home and away to Guyana Amazon Warriors and a loss to Barbados Tridents in between.
Last time out, at Providence Stadium, Trinbago posted 143/5 from their 20 overs but it proved well below par – the Knight Riders losing by seven wickets against the unbeaten league leaders.
