Saint Lucia Kings will take on Trinbago Knight Riders tonight in the 7th Match of the Caribbean Premier League. The Knight Riders after losing their first match have come back into the winning ways. On the other hand, SLK is coming after a forgettable game against the Jamaica Tallawahs. The Dream11 prediction and the Pitch Report for the SLK vs TKR match can be found below.
Trinbago Knight Riders, who didn’t lose a single match in the 8th edition of CPL, were handed a defeat in the very first match of CPL 2021. Guyana Amazon Warriors won the season opener by 9 runs against the Knight Riders. The Pollard-led TKR though bounced back in the second match and defeated the Barbados Royals convincingly by 6 wickets. Isuru Udana was the highlight of the match, he grabbed 5 wickets for the Knight Riders. TKR would like to carry forward the winning momentum against the Saint Lucia Kings.
The Faf du Plessis-led Saint Lucia Kings suffered an embarrassing loss against the Jamaica Tallawhas on Friday. SLK’s bowling was all over the place as the Tallawahs with their explosive hitting posted a humungous total of 255 runs on the board. In reply, SLK could only manage 135 runs and were bowled out by the Knight Riders in just 17.3 overs. The 120-run defeat has brought the Lucia Kings to the bottom of the table with the worst Net Run Rate. SLK would like to turn things around tonight vs TKR.
