TKR vs SLZ Dream11 : Trinbago Knight Riders look to recover from their first defeat when they take on a waning St Lucia Zouks side today
Advertisement
After winning four matches in succession in the ongoing edition of the Caribbean Premier League, Trinbago Knight Riders showed their first glimpses of vulnerability the last time they took to the middle in the league. The side’s air of invincibility was breached with their balloon being popped by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, a match which saw the side fall apart as the match ran its course.
Batting first, thing couldn’t have gotten more pristine far Trinbago Knight Riders who cleaned the short square boundaries with aplomb, seeing Simmons and Colin Ingram bombard their way to yet another imperious partnership. The talismen of the side’s batting order, the two piled on a 90 run stand, one which looked set to breach the 250 run mark for them.
However, once the twos et batsmen were sent back, a flurry of wickets ended up disrupting the side’s momentum, seeing them land 20 runs short as they foiled their batting effort at 216 before ther bowlers put in a howler of a performance. The match went to the super over, one which the side subsequently lost to stay in second place in the league.
Elsewhere, St Lucia Zouks have bigger problems to cook and rectify with the side languishing in fifth place with just the one win from four matches. They were ripped apart yesterday, blown out by Barbados Tridents who defeated them by 71 runs as their batting order imbedded a shambolic run chase to be sent back to the pavilion for just 101.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
This is a surface which has something in it for everyone. The powerplay overs will see the new ball change its shape both in the air and on pitching in the hands of the faster bowlers, making strokeplay a travesty before eventually turning solid and hard to allow the batsmen play their shots. With the wicket settling and becoming better as the match runs its course, the side winning the toss will be looking to chase today.

TKR vs SLZ Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
St Lucia Zouks’ wicket-keeper and opener, Andre Fletcher is selected by us over here. He’s not had the best of times out with the bat but has stood tall amongst the rest of his counterparts, someone who has shown interested in biding his time out in the middle and putting on a distinctive display.
TKR vs SLZ Dream11 Batsmen
Two names were always going to nail down ther spot in our side, owing to their sublime and flamboyant showings, performances which have seen them be lauded all across the league. In Lendl Simmons and Colin Munro, the side are bestowed with two incredible hitters of the bat with the two persistently scoring runs at will for the side with Simmons making 90 in 45 balls the last time around.
Just the one pick for us from the opposition, seeing Colin Ingram come into our side given his nous of abilities to pile on the runs.
TKR vs SLZ Dream11 All-Rounders
After beginning the league in pristine fashion, St Lucia Zouks’ opener and spinner, Rakheem Cornwall has waned in form. It’s been a reason for his side’s decline as well with the player failing to perform as per his skill set, leaving the side devoid of the services of one of their star performer.
However, his enterprising previous performances are still fresh in our minds, seeing us retain faith in him with us also getting in Colin de Grandhomme from the side. From Trinbago Knight Riders we have gone in with the services of Jimmy Neesham, someone who 13 ball 22 provided the side with right impetuous in the last match.
TKR vs SLZ Dream11 Bowling Order
Althouhg St Lucia Zouks were sordid with the ball yesterday, no faults could be picked out from their bowling unit. They restricted the opposition to a well chasuble score, seeing us pick up the focal points of that showing Kesrick Williams and Obed McCoy with the two getting the 5 wickets in between them.
From the other side we have gone ahead with Khary Pierre and Anderson Philip given the languishing nature of their opposition’s batting unit.
