Who will win Trinbago vs Barbados QF2, CPL 2019?
There is a place in the Caribbean Premier League 2019 final, and a showdown with Guyana Amazon Warriors, awaiting the winner of the second qualifier between Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Tridents. The match will take place on October 12 and the live action is scheduled to begin at 19:00 local time.
Trinbago Knight Riders arrested an alarming slide in form just in time to keep their title defence alive. They had now won since starting the tournament with four victories in a row, but an excellent bowling performance and Lendl Simmons’ half-century helped them see off St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the eliminator.
Barbados, meanwhile, surged up the table with a late run of form – instigated in particular by the bowling of Harry Gurney and Hayden Walsh Jr – but they came unstuck in the qualifier when Brandon King fired Guyana Amazon Warriors into the final. Nevertheless, this is another chance for the Tridents to reach the final, against a team they beat twice during the league phase.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
TKR Team News
Sunil Narine’s return from injury was timely ahead of the play-offs. He took 2-10 from four overs and, while his batting did not match, he is a much bigger influence in the side than Mark Deyal. Seekkuge Prasanna also played, with Jimmy Neesham missing out.
TKR Key Players
Lendl Simmons: Anchored the chase against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots last time out with a patient 51 at the top of the order. He also scored 60 when these teams last met and has five half-centuries in this season’s tournament in all.
Kieron Pollard: Smashed an unbeaten 26 from just nine balls last time out, including three sixes, as his good form continued. He has scored 71, 20, 36* and 26* in his last four innings.
Sunil Narine: His injury had been costly as Trinbago Knight Riders slipped down the table in his absence, but the spin-bowling all-rounder showed exactly what he is capable of as he took 2-10 from four overs on his return last time out.
TKR Team Form
Trinbago Knight Riders lost five of their last six league games, with the only other match a no result, but got back to winning ways in the play-offs.
Their final league game was a seven-wicket defeat to Guyana Amazon Warriors but their bowlers helped them bounce back against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Chris Jordan took 3-30 and Sunil Narine 2-10 as the Patriots were restricted to 125/7, before Lendl Simmons’ half-century led Trinbago Knight Riders to a six-wicket win with eight balls to spare.

Barbados Tridents Team News & Playing 11
BT Team News
As expected, Shai Hope returned from injury last time out – replacing Justin Greaves to bolster an already improved Barbados Tridents line-up. Harry Gurney and Shakib Al Hasan have joined the team late in CPL 2019 season, while Dan Christian did too but has not featured – it is no surprise the Tridents promptly rose up the table.
BT Key Players
Johnson Charles: Scored half-centuries in both matches against Trinbago Knight Riders during the group stage as he finished that phase of the tournament in good batting form. He will be keen for another in this final qualifier.
Harry Gurney: Wicketless last time out, but he took nine in his five previous matches to show why he has become a key T20 player in the various leading franchise tournaments across the globe.
Hayden Walsh Jr: Took 5-19 in one of Barbados’ wins against Trinbago Knight Riders this season, while his two wickets in the first qualifier took him to 19 wickets in seven matches so far this season.
BT Team Form
Barbados won three of their four final league matches, including a seven-wicket victory – after Johnson Charles’ half-century helped them chase 135 – against Trinbago Knight Riders in their last league game.
They could not carry that form into the first play-off match, however – the Tridents reaching 188/8 in reply to Guyana Amazon Warriors’ 218/3 at Providence Stadium.
