MATCH DETAILS:

The Caribbean Premier League’s Match 29 pits St Kitts and Nevis Patriots against the Trinbago Knight Riders at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Sunday. The match would be played at Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, Trinidad, and would start from 7:30 PM IST onwards.

PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:

Both teams have encountered opposing fortunes in this competition, as can be seen from their league positions. Although the Patriots were at the bottom with one win in nine games, the Knight Riders, led by Kieron Pollard, won all eight games at the time of writing.

Although the Patriots are looking to end what was a dreary campaign on the big, it wouldn’t be easy against the Knight Riders side of Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine. The previous game between the two sides saw Lendl Simmons pave the way for triumphant TKR wins, but a much more competitive game is anticipated this time around.

With both sides looking for the all-important win, we should be in for a thriller.

PITCH REPORT:

The pitch at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy was accurate in the morning fixtures, with the ball coming up pretty well. However, this has not stopped the spinners, who are still extracting a significant distance from the soil.

The pacers could focus on pace shift to get anything out of the ground, with the batsmen willing to make good use of the shorter square boundaries.

With rain and DLS likely to play a role, both teams will hopefully want to pursue what should be a decent game of T20 cricket.

INJURY AND AVAILABILITY NEWS:

There is no availability and injury issues regarding players from both sides.
