Trinbago Knight Riders vs Barbados Royals Prediction & Betting Tips, CPL 2021
Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals go head to head at Warner Park Sporting Complex, Basseterre, St Kitts on Friday evening local time. Trinbago, who had a perfect record during the 2020 CPL with twelve wins from twelve, were beaten by 9 runs to Guyana. Barbados Royals went down by 21 runs against St Kitts & Nevis. Read on as we preview this match. This game gets underway at 19:00 local time.
Five Trinbago Knight Riders made double figures without kicking on to a score above 23 against Guyana. If someone goes big they will be competitive again.
Hayden Walsh was uncharacteristically expensive and wicketless for Barbados Royals in their opening game. If he finds his form he will be a handful for any side.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
TKR Team News
The champions from 2020 were always going to struggle to complete another perfect tournament. If they don’t pick up a win in this game then expect wholesale changes ahead of the following match. We predict the same XI will be in place for this game.
TKR Key Players
- Sunil Narine - The off-spin bowler hit a very useful 20 from 17 balls at the top of the order against Guyana Amazon Warriors. Earlier, he had taken 2-17 with the ball.
- Kieron Pollard - The big hitting all-rounder hit only 2 from 7 balls in the opening game. He will come good very soon and may well do so in this game.
- Akeal Hosein - The left-arm spinner impressed with bat and ball against Guyana. He took 2-17 before ending unbeaten on 22 from 12 balls.
After last year’s 100% record throughout the tournament, it is fair to say that Trinbago Knight Warriors are still in strong form.
Trinbago Knight Riders Predicted Playing 11
Lendl Simmons, Colin Munro, Tim Seifert, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard (c), Denesh Ramdin (wk), Isuru Udana, Sunil Narine, Akeal Hosein, Ravi Rampaul, Jayden Seales
Barbados Royals Team News & Playing 11
BR Team News
A new name for the team formerly known as the Barbados Tridents did not deliver a win in their opening match. Glenn Phillips has been in the UK for the last few months and may need a couple of games to get used to the conditions in the Caribbean.
BR Key Players
- Glenn Phillips - The New Zealand batsman is famous for hitting boundaries in whichever franchise league he is in. Expect some big runs from the Barbados opener.
- Shai Hope - The West Indian has been in impressive batting form for over 18 months and looked good in the opening game.
- Jason Holder - The all-rounder and captain took 1 wicket and hit 10 runs against St Kitts & Nevis. He is a fine player and leader in any format.
The Barbados Royals have won only one of their last five games. They need to pick up an early win to get their campaign moving in CPL.
Barbados Royals Predicted Playing 11
Glenn Phillips, Johnson Charles, Shai Hope (wk), Kyle Mayers, Azam Khan, Jason Holder (c), Thisara Perera, Ashley Nurse, Mohammad Amir, Oshane Thomas, Hayden Walsh
