Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Trinbago Knight Riders don't seem to have any injury concerns going into this game. They are likely to retain the entire line-up that thrashed St Lucia Stars in the opening game of the tournament.
Key Players
Trinbago Knight Riders have a power-packed batting line-up with Chris Lynn, Colin Munro and Brendon McCullum as the key figures. Munro was one of the leading run-getters last year and he has already had a good knock this year - in the opening game against St Lucia Stars where he struck 68 runs off 48 balls. Sunil Narine has now become a regular opener in the T20 format and he too has the potential to play a whirlwind knock. He is also going to be a big threat with the ball in these spin-friendly conditions. Dwayne Bravo and Fawad Ahmed took three wickets each against the Stars. Bravo was among the best bowlers last season with 16 wickets in 13 matches and he won't be easy to score off, especially at the backend of the innings.
Recent Form
Trinbago Knight Riders started off their CPL 2018 campaign with a dominating performance against St Lucia Stars in the season opener. They had an excellent day with the bat as their batsmen amassed 195 before putting up a disciplined bowling performance to wrap up St Lucia's innings at 95 in the 18th over. Last year, the Knight Riders had gone all the way to win the title, beating St Kitts and Nevis Patriots – their opponents for this game - in the final.

St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of the players from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots were reported to be injured at the time of writing. Though they ended up losing their game against Guyana Amazon Warriors, we still expect them to go into this match with an unchanged line-up.
Key Players
The opening combination of Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis is one of the most destructive in world cricket and the Patriots should find themselves in a strong position if these two get going. Both of them had finished amongst the top five batsmen last term with four and three half-centuries respectively. Gayle is coming on the back of a blazing 65-ball 86 against Guyana Amazon Warriors and the team will be hoping for something similar from him. Ben Cutting and Carlos Brathwaite are two other vital figures in this line-up. They can not only smash the ball a long way but can also make a significant impact with the ball as well. Sheldon Cottrell was the best bowler for the Patriots last year and so there will be a lot of expectations from him. Sandeep Lamichhane was the pick of the bowlers against the Warriors with figures of 2-12 from four overs and the leg-spinner from Nepal could bamboozle the Knight Riders in this match.
Recent Form
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots suffered a six-wicket loss in their opening encounter against Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Providence Stadium. After being put into bat first, the Patriots rode on Chris Gayle's brilliant 86 to reach a respectable total of 146/5 at the end of their 20 overs. However, it proved to be too little for their bowlers to defend as the Warriors raced home with more than three overs to spare.
St Kitts & Nevis Predicted Playing 11
Chris Gayle (c), Evin Lewis, Tom Cooper, Ben Cutting, Anton Devcich, Carlos Brathwaite, Brandon King, Devon Thomas (wk), Sheldon Cottrell, Sandeep Lamichhane, Alzarri Joseph

🏆 Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Kitts & Nevis Prediction
Trinbago Knight Riders have performed really well at their home ground in recent times. And playing at home means that they will be more familiar with the conditions and will not need much time to acclimatize. They also have a very strong record against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, winning six out of the eight matches they have played against them in the CPL. The Knight Riders have beaten the Patriots four times in their last five head-to-head encounters, including their most recent clash which happened to be the final of the previous season. The Patriots, who are coming off a defeat in their last game, do have several quality players in their ranks and hence they cannot be written off completely. We, however, feel that Trinbago Knight Riders are slightly better placed to win what could be a close contest on Saturday.
Final Verdict: Back Trinbago Knight Riders to beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
