TKR vs SLK Team Previews
Trinbago Knight Riders
The Trinbago Knight Riders are led by the experienced Kieron Pollard, whose explosive batting and sharp leadership will be crucial to their success. Pollard’s immense T20 and CPL experience will be vital in pushing Trinbago Knight Riders' case for a play-off berth.
Pollard has been in excellent form throughout the CPL season, consistently scoring quick runs in the middle-order. His ability to shift the momentum with his powerful hitting will be key for the Knight Riders' chances. The 37-year-old has one century and 13 half-centuries in the CPL.
In the bowling department, Sunil Narine remains one of the Knight Riders’ most valuable assets. His right-arm spin continues to frustrate opposition batters, making him a key player in their bowling attack. The all-rounder has 950-plus runs and 120-plus wickets in the CPL.
Young talent Shaqkere Parris has been opening the innings alongside Narine, offering a mix of aggressive shot-making and composure. The duo’s performance will be pivotal to providing Trinbago with solid starts. The youngster hit 57 runs against the Kings last time around.
Trinbago Knight Riders Playing 11
Jason Roy, Nicholas Pooran, Keacy Carty, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Akeal Hosein, Timothy David, Jayden Seales, Chris Jordan, Waqar Salamkheil.
St Lucia Kings
The St Lucia Kings, captained by Faf du Plessis, have had a campaign to be proud of so far. With a mix of youth and experience, the Kings are more than capable of toppling any opponent on their day.
Faf du Plessis’ leadership and batting prowess will be central to St Lucia’s chances. His ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed will play a crucial role in their quest for victory. The South African hit 62 runs against the Patriots earlier this month.
With the ball, Alzarri Joseph has been a standout performer for the Kings. His pace and wicket-taking ability at crucial stages have made him one of the tournament’s most feared bowlers. Joseph’s form with two for 30 against the Royals could be decisive in curbing the powerful Knight Riders' lineup.
Roston Chase, the versatile all-rounder, will be another key player for the Kings. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball gives St Lucia much-needed balance. His off-spin could also be crucial on the slower surfaces, especially in the middle overs. Chase has 1096 runs and 42 wickets in the CPL.

Aaron Jones, Johnson Charles, Faf du Plessis, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim Seifert, David Wiese, Alzarri Joseph, Noor Ahmad, Sadrack Descartes, Khary Pierre.

TKR vs SLK Betting Tips
