Trinbago Knight Riders are favorites to win

Who will win Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks, CPL 2019?

Defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders will look to continue their winning start to their Caribbean Premier League 2019 title defence, when they meet St Lucia Zouks at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain. The match is scheduled to take place on September 8, and the live action starts at 12:00 local time.

The Knight Riders already have a number of players in good form, with Tion Webster hitting 66* last time out and Sunil Narine taking the man of the match award for hitting 46 and taking 2-23. The Knight Riders followed their win against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots by beating the Jamaica Tallawahs.

St Lucia Zouks returned as the St Lucia franchise for the Caribbean Premier League this season. They lost their first game to Guyana Amazon Warriors, however – posting 142/9 in reply to 155/9.

TKR vs STZ Toss Prediction

Trinbago Knight Riders have twice lost the toss, twice been asked to bat first and twice won the game. The trend, however, is to field first after winning the toss and with the Knight Riders due to win this one, they may elect to chase.

TKR vs STZ Weather Report

With mid-day temperatures in the 30s and a very low chance of rain, the conditions are set to be mostly sunny in the Port of Spain with just a few clouds around.

TKR vs STZ Pitch Condition

A good, consistent bounce has made for a good bowling wicket for the paceman at the Port of Spain but, combined with the fast outfield, it is also good for batting – a well-timed shot will race to the boundary.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11

TKR Team News

Ali Khan replaced Anderson Phillip for the win against Jamaica Tallawahs, with the American opening the bowling and dismissing Chris Gayle. Colin Munro is flying over to the Caribbean from Sri Lanka, where he has been with New Zealand, but this will be the third and final game he misses – Lendl Simmons will continue in his place. The decision to push Tion Webster up the order paid dividends last time out, meanwhile.

TKR Key Players

Kieron Pollard: Has scored useful lower-order runs in both matches so far, following up his 47 from 32 balls in the first game with an unbeaten 33 from 21 against Jamaica. It continues the batting form he showed with the West Indies against India.

Jimmy Neesham: Man of the match in the first game, after scoring 33 and taking 3-18, the New Zealand all-rounder did not last long with the bat last time out but did weigh in with another two wickets.

Sunil Narine: Back to his T20 best last time out, hitting 46 from 22 balls batting at number three, before putting the brakes on with the ball – he took 2-23 from his four overs, including 13 dot balls.

TKR Team Form

Winners last year and pace-setters this time out, Trinbago Knight Riders have won both games so far. They beat St Kitts & Nevis Patriots first up, after some late hitting lifted them to 152/7 before James Neesham and Mohammad Hasnain took three wickets apiece to help bowl the Patriots out for 141.

In their second game, Tion Webster led the way with 66* from 49 balls, while Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard’s big-hitting led them to 191/4 against Jamaica Tallawahs. Narine then took 2-23 as they restricted the Tallawahs to 169/6.

TKR vs STZ Dream11 Prediction

Wicket-keeper

Andre Fletcher and Denesh Ramdin are the two main choices behind the stumps. Ramdin is cheaper at 8.5 credits, as Fletcher opens for the Zouks and could be a key player. 

Batsmen

Kieron Pollard has hit 80 runs in two games so far and the Trinbago Knight Riders’ captain is well worth picking up at 9.5 credits as a result. Tion Webster proved that he is excellent value last time out, meanwhile, and opening the batting he can deliver a good return on his 8.5 credits. Colin Munro is still away, for one more game, so Lendl Simmons will want to deliver in what could be his final game.

All-rounders

As ever, the top all-rounders come at a big cost but there is some good value available to balance things out. Rahkeem Cornwall opened the batting for the Zouks last time out but is just 8.5 credits, while Seekkuge Prasanna has been tidy with the ball for the Knight Riders. At the top end of the pricing scale, Sunil Narine starred with bat and ball for the Knight Riders last time out, while Jimmy Neesham did likewise in the first game and picked up another two wickets in the most recent match. Dwayne Bravo is injured and Colin de Grandhomme is travelling. 

Bowlers

You still need two Zouks’ bowlers at this point, but Obed McCoy picked up four wickets last time out and Fawad Ahmed is always a threat with the ball too – and took two wickets in the opening game. That should leave enough for one of Kesrick Williams, Mohammad Hasnain and Khary Pierre. Hasnain took three wickets in the opening game and may just edge it.

Captain/Vice-captain

Sunil Narine was man of the match last time out, showcasing his best T20 form with some big hitting and taking two wickets too. If he delivers with bat and ball again, he is a great option as captain. Team-mate Jimmy Neesham has been in good form too, with five wickets in two games and runs in the first match. He could be a good captaincy pick, but vice-captain behind Narine could also prove a profitable combination.

St Lucia Zouks Team News & Playing 11

STZ Team News

Having initially said he was unavailable for the first two matches of CPL 2019, Thisara Perera played last time out with Cameron Delport staying in England to help Essex Eagles reach the T20 Blast final. Colin de Grandhomme is not yet available, however, and nor is Hardus Viljoen, so it could be a similar line-up for this game.

STZ Key Players

Fawad Ahmed: Took 22 wickets to help bowl Trinbago Knight Riders to victory, and started his Zouks stint with 2-25 from four overs – including a maiden – in the game against Guyana.

Rahkeem Cornwall: The giant spin bowler bowled two tidy overs and then hit seven fours and a six in his 14-ball 36 at the top of the order.

Obed McCoy: A little expensive with the ball, but he took three of his 4-41 in the final over to keep a lid on the Warriors’ total last time out. 

STZ Team Form

St Lucia Zouks’ first game back in the Caribbean Premier League saw them face the Guyana Amazon Warriors. The Warriors posted 155/9 from their 20 overs, after Obed McCoy claimed 4-41, but then restricted the Zouks to 142/9 in reply.
