SKN vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: Two teams that are in the opposite ends of the points table will lock horns in this dead rubber. TKR are unbeaten in this tournament so far after having played 9 games. The one important aspect to note is the way they are winning the games. They struggled hard against Barbados Tridents for a victory and that was the only game which they haven’t won it in a comprehensive manner. They have been sweeping the opposition with ease and there is no team in this competition that looks like end this raging TKR’ streak.
SKN suffered a huge blow at the start of the season as they lost the services of Fabian Allen as he couldn’t catch the flight on time to reach Trinidad and that surely had a telling effect on them. They lost 7 games and won one solitary game with one match getting washed out, they are easily the worst team of this competition. They just tried all possible combinations but yet, they couldn’t find that formula for success. They would be really wanting to finish the season on a high.

SKN Team news
Injury unavailability
No injury announcement from SKN side
Playing combinations and expected changes
• After ages, their premium opener Chris Lynn seemed to have found some form in that washed out game against Jamaica Tallawahs and they are expected to continue with the same combination of Evin Lewis and Chris Lynn as their openers
• Their top and middle will have players like Joshua Da Silva, Denesh Ramdin, Ben Dunk and captain himself in Rayad Emrit.
• Jon-Russ-Jaggesar and Imran Khan will be their spin bowling duo for this game as well
• Alzarri Joseph, Sheldon Cotrell and Rayad Emrit will form the pace bowling trio. They played an unknown entity in Colin Archibald in their previous game who didn’t get chance to bowl and he might play this game as well.
TKR Team news
Injury unavailability
• Khary Pierre got injured in the previous game and might miss this game.
Playing combinations and expected changes
• Lendl Simmons and Tion Webster are expected to continue as their openers for this game as Colin Munro and Sunil Narine have been given extensive off days ahead of the playoffs.
• Their top and middle order will have the Kiwi wicket-keeper Tim Seifert, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard and Sikander Raza.
• Since Khary Pierre might miss this game, they might be tempted to bring in Pravin Tambe for one last time in the tournament, which would mean Fawad Ahmed, Akeal Hosein and Sikander Raza will be their lead spinners along with Pravin Tambe.
• There are high chances that they might rest the champion DJ Bravo as well for this game and Anderson Phillip might get a go or they also have the option of playing Ali Khan.

SKN vs TKN Dream11 Match Prediction
Wicket-keepers– Jodhua Da Silva, Tim Seifert
Batsmen– Darren Bravo, Chris Lynn, Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons
All-rounders– Kieron Pollard, Sikander Raza,
Bowlers– Rayad Emrit, Sheldon Cottrell, Fawad Ahmed
Captain and Vice captain
Darren Bravo: The Junior Bravo has been in stupendous form throughout this CPL and is definitely the go to captaincy option for fantady players. He has been getting runs consistently and has scored 239 runs at am average of close to 50 in this season.
Kieron Pollard: Another box-office player who is demolishing the bowling attacks without any discomfort. He has hit his peak in this season and the important thing is he has started to bowl 4 overs which makes him all the worthy candidate for a captaincy option in dream11. He has 207 runs at an average of well over 50.
Lendl Simmons: Considering the bowling attack of SKN, Lendl Simmons might score a big knock just before the playoffs to give his team that much needed confidence on him. Though he has been off-color in this season, he has scored a reasonable 218 runs so far.
X-factors and value picks
Evin Lewis: The dangerous southpaw can always be that x-factor in grand leagues. If he gets going then there is no stopping him. He has 223 runs under his belt in this season and can be gambled by giving him the captaincy in grand leagues
Chris Lynn: This can one of the craziest out of the box decisions if one makes him the captain in grand leagues but that’s how grand leagues are won. He has been in the worst possible form and one cannot write off how dangerous a batsman he can be.
Tim Seifert: He can be a value added pick in grand leagues. He can accumulate runs without anyone noticing him and fetched the much needed points for his team.
