Barbados Tridents vs Trinbago Knight Riders- Preview and Moneyball9 Fantasy Tips

All Rounder

This is a straight shootout between Pollard and Bravo. Due to the high costs of both these players, you need to take a call on whether you want to go for a guaranteed ‘Flexible player’ or you want to maybe go in with a Rs 3500 worth player who might or might not play.

While Bravo is the safer option as he is bound to give you two wickets at least, I am going to be a little adventurous by opting for Keiron Pollard as his lower price as compared to Bravo gives me the luxury of bringing in a good ‘flexible player’ as opposed to bringing in a player might not have played if I picked Bravo.

Sunil Narine is the first bowler that I get in for this game. As mentioned before he has been the only shining light in this depeleted Knight Riders bowling unit and has time and again brought the knight Riders back into the game when the other bowlers were being belted all around the park. He guarantees you at least two wickets and a very healthy economy rate. Get him in!

Ravi Rampaul has recently come to the party for the Tridents picking up wickets regularly and stemming the run flow in the death overs, the fact that he gets to bowl at least 2 overs at the death gives him a lot of chance to garner at least two wickets.

Suleimann Benn is my last bowler from this game. The lanky West Indian bowler hasn’t really been amongst the wikcets but his economy rate is impeccable and he is very hard to get away due to the bounce he extracts. At Rs 4500 he is the best bowler that you could draft into your side and could turn out to be the differentiating factor.

Flexible Player

With Rs 4500 left in the bag, again this is a straight shootout between Anthony Devich and Kevon Cooper. Both these players are bound to bowl their quota of 4 overs but the fact that Devich gets to open the batting tilts this in his favour.
