Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- Trinbago Knight Riders have struggled with their batting in the entire CPL
- St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots have a stronger batting lineup with players like Evin Lewis and Sherfane Ruterford in great form
- Trinbago Knight Riders have a better bowling attack and that could give them the edge
SNP vs TKR Analysis:
The St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots absolutely crushed the Trinbago Knight Riders in the previous match. Evin Lews came up with a brilliant inning and just made a mockery of a decent target. There are so many match-winners in each team that individual brilliance can always end up being a factor.
Can TKR fight back and go into the semis with a win? Let us find out.

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather is expected to be a bit cloudy but rain is not currently forecast on match day. The pitch is going to be tired and conducive to the spinners. That has been the case for most of the season so far but especially now that there are three matches being played in a day! The spinners will hold the key and we could have a low-scoring match.
Probably XI:
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:
Evin Lewis scored a century from just 52 balls and made a target of 160 look like a walk in the park. Make no mistake, the pitch was not the easiest to bat on and 160 was a decent-sized target. e, Chris Gayle, Sherfane Rutherford, Fabian Allen, Dwayne Bravo, and Devon Thomas are all going to be a part of the batting lineup once more.
We don’t expect SNP to rest any players at this closing stage of the CPL but you should check out the final playing eleven just before the match starts. The absence of one of the big guns in the lineup can upset the team balance quite markedly.
Dominic Drakes once again picked up three wickets and we found it interesting that Naseem Shah got a game as well. It looks like SNP wants to use its fast bowlers to make an impact rather than the spinners as TKR seems to be doing.
Likely XI: Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, DC Thomas, Sherfane Rutherford, F Allen, Dominic Drakes, Sheldon Cottrell, RS Bopara, Naseem Shah, Jon-Russ Jaggesar

Trinbago Knight Riders:
TKR was blitzed in the previous match and there is not much that could have been done to stop Evin Lewis. However, we do think that they will once again be unhappy with the performance of their batsmen. No one scored a fifty and it was left to some lusty blows from Sunil Narine down the order that allowed them to get to 159.
Lendl Simmons, Colin Munro, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, and Tim Seifert form a fantastic batting lineup on paper but they have not been able to deliver so far. We think if TKR has to win this match, then it will be on the back of its spinners.
Sunil Narine, Akeal Hossain, and hopefully Khary Pierre will make a comeback into the playing eleven. This is the sixth match on the surface in two days and that will surely take its toll on the pace of the wicket.
Likely XI: Kieron Pollard, SP Narine, Colin Munro, Yasir Shah, Darren Bravo, LMP Simmons, Tim Seifert, Anderson Phillip, Denesh Ramdin, Akeal Hosein, Ali Khan
