SLK vs TKR Team Previews
St Lucia Kings
After winning their first two games of the season, St. Lucia Kings faced their first defeat on Saturday night as they were beaten by Guyana in a one-sided affair. That loss not only cost them 2 points but also left a big dent in the NRR.
Faf du Plessis and Johnson Charles are likely to open the batting for the hosts in this match. While Charles has got a couple of decent starts, du Plessis has been a laggard and will need to get some runs if his team wants to put up a big total. Tim Seifert is the biggest contributor with the bat, scoring 102 runs in 3 matches.
He will play an important role in the middle order along with Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Ackeem Auguste. There are a couple of all-rounders lower down the order like David Weise, Roston Chase, and Matthew Forde, all of whom can play the big shots with ease.
Coming to the bowling, Noor Ahmad is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 6 wickets. However, the other spinners haven’t had much of an impact. The seamers, David Weise and Alzarri Joseph have picked up 5 wickets between them.
St Lucia Kings Playing 11

Trinbago Knight Riders
Just like their opponents, the Knight Riders are coming into this match on the back of a loss and will be eager to get back to winning ways.
The Knight Riders have one of the strongest batting units in the league and will bank on that to put up a big total. Andries Gous and Sunil Narine make up for an explosive opening pair. However, Narine has been unable to replicate his heroics from the IPL.
The middle order consists of some of the biggest strikers in T20 cricket including Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Keacy Carty, and Andre Russell. If at least one of them gets going, the Knight Riders could be looking at a huge total.
The spin attack is pretty strong thanks to the presence of Narine and Waqar Salamkheil, who have picked up 4 wickets each. They will be joined by Akeal Hosein. Josh Little and Terence Hinds will lead the attack with the new ball.
Trinbago Knight Riders Playing 11
Jason Roy, Sunil Narine, Andries Gous, Shaqkere Parris, Nicholas Pooran, Keacy Carty, Kieron Pollard, Terrance Hinds, Akeal Hosein, Waqar Salamkheil, Jayden Seales.

Pitch and Conditions
The surface at Gros Islet is likely to be hard and has an even covering of grass. The ball comes nicely onto the bat and the batsmen can play their shots with ease. This is likely to be a high-scoring match with a par score of around 180.
The pitch has been under the covers and there is some moisture in the surface, and the quicker bowlers will be able to get some movement off the seam.
The weather is likely to be overcast and there are chances of rain interrupting the play.
SLK vs TKR Betting Tips
Both teams have been a bit inconsistent and will be hoping to gain two points in this match. While there is no clear favorite, we feel that the Trinbago Knight Riders have a slight edge in this match, thanks to a stronger batting unit and a well-balanced bowling attack.
Bet on the Trinbago Knight Riders to win this match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Du Plessis hasn’t been in the best of forms this season. He is averaging 12.00 in 3 innings and has been unable to cross the 23-run mark in 2 of his last 3 innings.
Ahmad has picked up 3 wickets in each of his last 2 outings and was the top bowler for his team in both of those games. Seeing his good form and the odds on offer, we are backing him to be the top bowler for St. Lucia yet again.
