Trinbago Knight Riders have won the toss and have opted to field
18:00 Local Time, 22:00 GMT, 03:30 IST: Two quality sides awaits us to give quality cricket tonight. Both are coming from losses - the Kings were handed a crushing loss by the Warriors while the Knight Riders lost track and lost a game they should have won against the Falcons. The Knight Riders look absolutely solid on paper in all departments. No wonder they win the head-to-head battle 16-6 against the Saint Lucia Kings. What's even more noteworthy is they have beaten Kings in all four games they have played at this venue. Now you have an inkling on who is starting as favourites?
This venue was the most batting friendly pitch during the 2024 T20 World Cup but in its first CPL game this season it recorded the lowest score thus far. Will conditions be tough again for batters or will it be a runfest? We'll find out that and more shortly
