Trinbago Riders vs Barbados Royals - Match Preview, Fantasy, Key Players, Pitch Report, Probable XI & More (23rd Match, CPL))
Match No. 23 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2021 is the conflict between the Barbados Royals and reigning champs the Trinbago Knight Riders at Warner Park in St Kitts on Thursday.
After three back to back misfortunes, the Barbados Royals at long last dealt with an exhaustive success over Guyana Amazon Warriors in their last CPL trip. With only two dominates from seven matches, the Royals have had a disillusioning CPL 2021 mission up until now.
They are still at the lower part of the table and need to win the entirety of their games from here to have any possibility of a best four completion.
The Royals' batting at long last came great after consistent battles all through this version of the CPL. They posted a major all out of 185 runs against the Warriors. Bowling was right on the money also, excusing Guyana for only 140 races to dispense a 45-run rout.
In their manner stand the reigning champs and four-time CPL victors - the Trinbago Knight Riders. The Knight Riders became lost in the center yet Kieron Pollard and his men have made something happen as the business end of the competition draws nearer. With two continuous successes, both over Jamaica Tallawahs, Trinbago have climbed to second spot in the table.
In their last trip, Trinbago set up a splendid exhibition to overcome the Tallawahs by a solid edge of 75 runs. Batting first, they scored 167 runs, driven by Lendl Simmons and captain Kieron Pollard. Ali Khan made a courageous re-visitation of the side with figures of 4/6 as the Tallawahs were skittled out for an insignificant 92.
While Trinbago will hope to keep the energy going from here in the CPL, Barbados are in an unquestionable requirement win position and a misfortune here would everything except run their expectations of advancing further.

The wicket at Warner Park is still useful for batting as we have seen high scores. In any case, it has been interesting on occasion with groups collapsing out rapidly also.
