Playing XI Updates

Trinbago Knight Riders

Not many changes are expected from the home side with their batting form bringing about some big wins. Colin Munro and Lendl Simmons are crucial to their fortunes at the top of the order, with the likes of Kieron Pollard and Jimmy Neesham consistently providing the impetus towards the end of the innings. In the bowling department, they have an able leader in Sunil Narine, whose off-spin could prove to be a handful for the Tridents. Watch out for Khary Pierre and Englishman Chris Jordan with the ball in hand in this crucial game.

Possible XI: Munro, Simmons, Narine, Pollard (C), Ramdin(WK), Neesham, Prasanna, Jordan, Pierre, Phillip and Bravo.

Barbados Tridents

With this encounter being their final league game, they will look to seal their place with a solid win under their belt. Alex Hales is due for a big knock while the likes of Johnson Charles and JP Duminy have done their part. Shakib Al Hasan's arrival has added solidity to the team structure, with the Bangladesh all-rounder in fine form for the Tridents.

The surprise package has been Hayden Walsh, who has picked 10 wickets in his last three outings for Barbados. The team should remain unchanged for this blockbuster clash at the Queen's Park Oval.

Possible XI: Hales, Carter, Charles (WK), Shakib, Duminy, Holder (C), Nurse, Walsh, Gurney, Reifer and Greaves

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Johnson Charles has consistently scored runs at the top of the order in spite of Alex Hales' poor form. He is the preferred option ahead of Denesh Ramdin, owing to higher batting position and better form heading into this game.

Batsmen: Lendl Simmons and Colin Munro are two of TKR's best bets with the bat. Both of them are expected to score some runs as the defending champions look to seal a top-two finish in the league stage. In spite of his poor form, Alex Hales is another decent option while one of Kieron Pollard or Darren Bravo should do the trick as well.

Allrounders: Many high-profile allrounders feature in this game with Sunil Narine and Shakib Al Hasan being two must-have players for this game. Although Jason Holder has picked 12 wickets, JP Duminy is preferred ahead of him along with Kiwi all-rounder, Jimmy Neesham.

Bowlers: Harry Gurney and Hayden Walsh picked seven wickets among themselves in the previous game and are ideally picked in the side as well. Chris Jordan is finding his feet in CPL 2019 and is a decent option as well, while Khary Pierre also presents a decent case to be picked.

Captain: Colin Munro is due for a big one in CPL 2019 and he will be key to lead Trinbago Knight Riders to a top-two finish. While the southpaw is one option, Shakib Al Hasan and JP Duminy are also worthwhile candidates. If a Barbados batsman is to be picked as captain or vice-captain, Alex Hales could be backed despite his poor form.

Fantasy Suggestion #1: Johnson Charles, Lendl Simmons, Darren Bravo, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, JP Duminy, Jimmy Neesham, Shakib Al Hasan, Hayden Walsh, Harry Gurney and Chris Jordan. Captain: Colin Munro, Vice-Captain: Alex Hales

Fantasy Suggestion #2: Johnson Charles, Kieron Pollard, Darren Bravo, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, Jason Holder, Jimmy Neesham, Shakib Al Hasan, Hayden Walsh, Harry Gurney and Khary Pierre. Captain: Colin Munro, Vice-Captain: Shakib Al Hasan
