Match Preview

Both teams have qualified for the semi-finals of the tournament and will definitely be relaxed in this game for sure. The Knight Riders are doing a lot of experiments but still, they have won all eight of their games till now in the tournament. They would certainly like to maintain their good form whereas the Zouks would definitely want their batting to fire before the semi-finals as their bowling has been really good in the tournament.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

The weather is our biggest concern in this match. There is a lot of rain in Trinidad and it typically falls during the time when the first match is going to be played. The first match yesterday was washed out and we could have another rain-delay or a washout here as well.

If we do get to play, the pitch is going to be slow and helpful to the spinners. Run-scoring is going to be difficult making a total of around 140 very competitive.

Best Choice For Captain And Vice-Captain

Roston Chase: The backbone of SLZ batting order. He is the stabilizer for SLZ not only with the bat but also the go to man for Darren Sammy with the ball. He has scored 170 runs at an average of 34 and has 6 wickets at an ER of 4.64.

Sunil Narine: The dangerous Sunil Narine is expected to play this game and if he plays, then it’s hard for fantasy players to look past him for a captain. He opens the innings and has 2 fifty plus scores in this tournament to go with his crucial 4 overs with the ball.
Mohammad Nabi: Another spin bowling all rounder is a solid option for captaincy. He has contributed with both bat and ball in this season. He has picked 11 wickets and has scored 135 runs at a healthy SR of 131.
