SKN vs TKR Dream 11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for St Kitts Nevis Patriots vs Trinbago Knight Riders 23rd CPL match. We are covering SKN vs TKR Dream 11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the CPL T20 match. The match is to be played at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.

This will be the third consecutive home game for the Patriots, they are playing five straight home matches. With three wins and three losses, Patriots are in the fourth spot while their opponents Trinbago Knight Riders are in the third position with four wins from six matches.

Patriots’ last match at the same ground was washed out due to rain against St Lucia Stars and both the teams had to share a point. Previous to that, they had lost by four wickets against Guyana. SNP had posted 168 with Gayle, Lewis and Devcich getting into runs. Their bowlers failed to take quick wickets and eventually conceded the loss.

Knight Riders picked up a relatively comfortable win against Barbados Tridents. Aussie leg-spinner F Ahmed bowled an exceptional spell of 13/2 in four overs that saw Tridents being stopped for 128/8. Brendon McCullum then played the match-winning inning of 66(42) to take the team home.
