Match 5 of the Caribbean Premier League pits the St Lucia Zouks against defending champions Barbados Tridents at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.
The Tridents began their campaign with a nail-biting win against the Patriots courtesy of an excellent all-round performance from Mitchell Santner. They will be eyeing another win on Thursday, although the Zouks aren't ones to be taken lightly.
Despite having a youthful squad, the Zouks also have some experience to fall back on in the likes of Mohammad Nabi and Darren Sammy. With this being their second game, the Zouks should have a better idea of the conditions and will field a very strong side.
Although the Tridents are the favourites to win this game, the Zouks are more than capable of springing a surprise, which should make for a good contest in Trinidad

Pitch Report
As seen in the previous games, the pitch is on the slower side with the spinners ruling the roost in the middle overs. However, the batsmen have also been able to play their shots with the likes of Narine and Hetmyer scoring fifties at a decent rate on Tuesday.
The pacers should get the ball to swing around early on in the innings, which should make for a good match-up against the openers in the powerplay. All in all, another relatively low-scoring game awaits, with both sides looking to bat first upon winning the toss.
