|After few shaky performances at the start of the tournament, Kieron Pollard’s side finished on the top of the points table after their 4-wicket victory against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The defending champions have gained form at the most important time of the season and Pollard would be looking to make it to the finals with a win here. The side has enjoyed a good record against the Saint Lucia Kings in the past and good effort would be expected from them here.
The side would need a good start in this game from Lendl Simmons and Denesh Ramdin who haven’t done well in the last few games. Colin Munro and Russell are in good form, and they shall aim to set up partnerships along with Darren Bravo. In Sunil Narine and Isuru Udana, they have good hitters of the ball down the order. Narine and Isuru Udana must strike early as the Kings have good strength at the top. In the middle overs, Jayden Seales and Akeal Hosein must keep the scoring rate under check and a tight bowler would also be expected from Pollard and Ali Khan.

It will be a massive challenge for Faf du Plessis’s side as they take on the defending champions in the 1st semifinals. The side comes into this game after a big loss to the Barbados Royals where they failed to defend a score of 190 runs. Faf du Plessis who missed the last game due to a groin injury will have to lead his side from the front. Their bowlers haven’t shown good form in this tournament and need to deliver the goods here. Knight Riders would come hard at them, and the Kings’ skipper shall want his players to show tough character.
The side would need a good start from Andre Fletcher and du Plessis. Fletcher who scored runs in the last game would be confident. Roston Chase is in brilliant form and adds strength to the middle order with Rakheem Cornwall and Tim David. The team would need power hitting towards the end from the bat of David Weise, Samit Patel and Keemo Paul. Their bowlers would have a big challenge on their hands and the new ball pair of Obed McCoy and Jeavor Royal need to get wickets. The side would also need tight spells here from Alzarri Joseph who must bring his experience to play. Weise, Patel, and Chase have to play the supporting act well here.
Trinbago Knight Riders shall win this game
Saint Lucia Kings have done well in this edition of the Caribbean Premier League. However, in the last few games, the side has struggled and seems they have run out of steam. Their bowling attack has looked in poor shape and they can least afford another poor display considering the kind of batting line-up the Knight Riders have. The Knight Riders are known for playing well on big occasions and the defending champions shall aim to do well here and enter their fourth final in the last five seasons.
Trinbago Knight Riders have experience playing well on such occasions and this would put them ahead of the Saint Lucia Kings in this game.
