Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks CPL Final 2020
After both teams dominated their semi-finals, Trinbago Knight Riders and St Lucia Zouks meet in the Caribbean Premier League 2020 Final. The match, at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, gets underway at 10:00 local time on September 10.
Trinbago Knight Riders have won all ten matches so far, and claimed victory in the semi-final in comfortable fashion too. AkealHosein’s 3-14 was the pick of the bowling figures as they restricted Jamaica Tallawahs to just 107/7 and Lendl Simmons’ unbeaten 54 ensured they strolled to a comfortable nine-wicket win.
St Lucia Zouks, who reached the last four for just the second time, were even more dominant in their semi-final to reach the showpiece for the first time in the tournament’s history. Against an in-form Guyana Amazon Warriors, their own in-form players all shone with the ball as they rolled them over for just 55. In reply, the Zouks needed just 27 balls to complete an astonishing ten-wicket win.

- Lendl Simmons: Saved his best form for the latter matches in this tournament, which he continued with a controlled, unbeaten half-century last time out.
- Kieron Pollard: Starred with bat and ball when these teams last met, having hit some seriously good form in the last few matches he has played.
- Dwayne Bravo: Tidy last time out, claiming 0-12 from his three overs, while he has already starred against the Zouks having taken his 500th T20 wicket against them earlier in the campaign.

St Lucia Zouks Team News & Playing 11
St Lucia Zouks Team News
Rahkeem Cornwall and Mark Deyalhave become St Lucia Zouks’ favoured opening partnership at the top of the order and they were the only two batsman needed last time out. That was undoubtedly the Zouks’ top XI on form so far, and it is unlikely they will make any changes.
St Lucia Zouks Key Players
- Roston Chase: Continued a good tournament with 2-15 with the ball last time out, having also enjoyed some useful batting form.
- Mohammad Nabi: Returned superb bowling figures of 1-6 from three overs, including a maiden, last time out to continue an excellent few weeks.
- Scott Kuggeleijn: Struck twice in the opening over as he set up a stunning win last time out and maintained his phenomenal wicket-taking form in the process.
St Lucia Zouks Team Form
St Lucia Zouksended the group stage by beating Jamaica Tallawahs by 11 runs after an excellent comeback with the ball defending 145/6. Zahir Khan and Javelle Glen each took three wickets to stall the chase in that game, while every bowler contributed to their stunning win against Guyana in the semi-final. Scott Kuggeleijn struck twice in the first over to set the tone and the Zouks never looked back. Guyana were dismissed for just 55 – losing the last our wickets without scoring – and St Lucia needed just 4.3 overs to seal victory.

Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks Head to Head
Trinbago Knight Riders have absolutely dominated this fixture in the past, with their two wins already this season taking them to 12 in 16 matches in total. St Lucia have won just two, with two others cut short by the rain. So far this season, Trinbago won a rain-affected game, after Dwayne Bravo’s 500th T20 wicket had helped keep St Lucia’s scoring rate down. The second match was a higher-scoring affair last week, but Darren Bravo’s half-century and Kieron Pollard’s 3-35 – after his own cameo with the bat – were the key differences in Trinbago’s 23-run win.
