SLZ vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: St Lucia Zouks vs Trinbago Knight Riders – 26 August 2020 (Trinidad)

St Lucia Zouks will take on Trinbago Knight Riders in the league Match of CPL 2020 aka Caribbean Premier League which will be played at the Queens Park Oval in Trinidad. The T20 cricket is finally back on the T20 land of the Caribbean after the COVID-19 heartbreak.

This is a top of the table clash as Knights are currently at the top of the pile with three wins in three games whereas Zouks have won three of their four games. None expected Zouks to perform that well in the tournament but they have utilized their potential very well till now in the tournament.

Both of them are really good all-round sides and this can be a great game to watch out. Trinbago has some big star players in their ranks whereas Zouks are punching above their weights.

Pitch Report – The pitch at Queen’s Park Oval is not great for batting as the average 1st innings score here is just 159.

Time:- 7.30 PM, Live on Star Sports Network

Probable XI for both sides:-

St Lucia Zouks – Kimani Melius, Andre Fletcher, Mark Deyal, Roston Chase, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Daren Sammy, Obed McOy, Kesrick Williams, Scott Kuggeleijn, Saad Bin Zafar.
