Our Pick Trinbago Knight Riders are favourites to win
Unbeaten league leaders Trinbago Knight Riders can make it ten group-stage wins out of ten when they take on last-placed St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the penultimate match of the Caribbean Premier League 2020 group stage. The two teams meet at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, on September 6 and the live action starts at 10:00.
With their last game rained off after just 5.4 overs, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots still have only one win to their name and their last completed match was their crushing defeat to Trinbago Knight Riders. The Knight Riders hit 174/4 and the Patriots could only managed 115/7 in reply.
Trinbago Knight Riders have won all nine matches in a dominant campaign by contrast. After Lendl Simmons’ batting heroics in that match against the Patriots, Darren Bravo hit a half-century in a total of 175/5 as they beat St Lucia Zouks by 23 runs last time out.

Trinbago keep losing the toss, keep being asked to bat first and keep winning. They may bat first anyway if they get the chance.
The forecast remains unchanged in Tarouba, with a few thunderstorms forecast but clear conditions around them.
The Brian Lara Cricket Academy encouraged the batsmen last time out. There is turn on the wicket, however.

Trinbago Knight Riders have been outstanding this season and it is hard to bet against them making it ten from ten, especially against out-of-form St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.
Wicket-keeper
Denesh Ramdin and Tim Seifert both cost 8.5 credits and Seifert was in good form last time out, but selecting Ramdin ensures you have ticked off one of your four Patriots players.
Batsmen
Chris Lynn and Evin Lewis finally seemed to find some form last time out – though in all fairness, Lewis starred in the Patriots’ only win too. They could be top picks if they replicate that again. Lendl Simmons starred when these teams last met, meanwhile and Darren Bravo is good value at 8.5 credits.
All-rounders
Sunil Narine has not played the last two matches, but when he has played, he has starred with bat and ball. He will be worth picking if he plays, with Sikandar Raza as an alternative if he does not. Kieron Pollard was in excellent form last time out and the captain is well worth selecting at 9.5 credits, while Dwayne Bravo is just nine credits and in good wicket-taking form.
Bowlers
Rayad Emrit is 8.5 credits and completes your allocation of Patriots players, leaving space for Fawad Ahmed and Khary Pierre for Trinbago.
Captain/Vice-captain
Kieron Pollard was in outstanding batting and bowling form last time out and proved why he should be Dream 11 captain. His batting has reached peak form again lately. For vice-captain, Sunil Narine would be a great pick… if he plays.
Batsmen:Darren Bravo, Evin Lewis, Chris Lynn, Lendl Simmons
All Rounder:Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard (c), Sunil Narine (vc)
