Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks, CPL T20
Unbeaten table-toppers Trinbago Knight Riders take on third-placed St Lucia Zouks in the 2020 Caribbean Premier League. The match takes place at Tarouba’s Brian Lara Cricket Academy on September 4 and the live action starts at 10:00 local time.
The Knight Riders have won eight consecutive games so far, including a rain-affected win against St Lucia Zouks when they last met. Lendl Simmons smashed 96 from 63 balls in a total of 174/4 against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots most recently, before Sikandar Raza’s 3-15 helped restrict the Patriots to 115/7.
St Lucia Zouks have been in excellent form this season, meanwhile, but they only managed to post 109/7 against Guyana Amazon Warriors last time out and are now below them in the table after their seven-wicket defeat. Wins in each of their last two games will see them finish second in the table, however.

Toss Prediction
Trinbago have lot the toss in each of their last two games, been asked to bat first and then hammered big scores. They might be tempted to bat first anyway.
Weather Report
The odd storm is on the forecast again this time, though the day should begin with sunny and clear conditions.
Pitch Condition
The Brian Lara Cricket Academy is well balanced, with something for batsmen but some bowlers – especially the spinners – thriving too.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
Trinbago Team News
Sunil Narine did not play again last time out, after a brief return to the team, and Colin Munro retired hurt against the Patriots. That could mean Narine returns, but Amir Jangoo retains his place up the order. Kieron Pollard could also come back into the team for this match of Caribbean Premier League 2020.
Trinbago Key Players
- Lendl Simmons: It has taken longer than usual but he was back to his best last time out when he thumped 96 from 63 balls.
- Kieron Pollard: The captain was rested last time out, having previously smashed 72 and 33* in his last two innings.
- Dwayne Bravo: Took his 504th T20 wicket last time out to move to seven in the tournament, including his excellent 2-7 when these teams last met.
Trinbago Team Form
Trinbago Knight Riders have won all eight matches they have played so far, with Lendl Simmons the latest to start with the bat as they stormed to victory against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. Simmons’ 96 powered a first innings of 174/4 and they restricted St Kitts to just 115/7 in reply.

St Lucia Zouks Team News & Playing 11
St Lucia Team News
Roston Chase did not play last time out, but the Zouks need their best batsmen – of which he has been one – as they look to get back to form with the bat.
St Lucia Key Players
-
Roston Chase: Absent for the last game, despite previously proving a key player with at least one of bat or ball in every game.
-
Mohammad Nabi: In stunning all-round form, the Afghan all-rounder has taken 11 wickets so far and enjoyed some useful innings too – including when these teams last met.
-
Scott Kuggeleijn: Took two catches when these teams last met, while he has taken 12 wickets in this tournament so far too.
St Lucia Team Form
St Lucia Zouks have lost two of their last four matches, slipping up with the bat too frequently lately. They got away with it against Barbados Tridents, as they somehow defended 92 all out to win by three runs, but not so against Guyana. After limping to 109/7, they lost by seven wickets with 37 balls to spare.
