TKR vs BAR Dream11 Prediction

Game 9 will see Trinbago Knight Riders take on defending champions Barbados Tridents on Sunday morning. Both teams seem to be in good form, and the match is expected to go down to the wire.

Trinbago Knight Riders have put in two stellar performances which have seen them nick 2 wins out of 2. While they beat Guyana Amazon Warriors in their opener, they rattled Jamaica Tallawahs in their second game. Sunil Narine was the star of the show on both occasions. He has scored 2 50’s in the 2 matches and has 3 wickets to his name. Ali Khan has been good support in bowling, taking 3 wickets in 2 games. Colin Munro came good in the second game, scoring a blistering 49* to help Knight Riders sail through.

Barbados Tridents showed their mettle with the ball in their opening game as they defended a total of 153 on a pitch that favours the bowling side, but a rain-curtailed game let them down in the second match, where they had to defend just 47 in 5 overs, but couldn’t despite taking 3 wickets. Rashid Khan has been their trump player and has 4 wickets to his name. Santner and Holder have played their parts too. The team would be hoping Charles and Hope can come good, alongside Anderson to give the side a good launchpad.

This match will also be played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad. The pitch has already been a bit slow, assisting the spinners, and with each passing day, it is set to offer more help to the spinners.

Chasing teams have had an advantage on this ground, having won 5 of the 6 games with Barbados Tridents being the only team to have won setting up a total.

The par score on the pitch has been in the region of 150-160, and with both bowling units looking good, expect a total in that region.

TKR vs BAR Key Players:
Trinbago Knight Riders
Sunil Narine: 50 and 2 wickets in the first game, and 53 and a wicket in the second game makes Sunil Narine a must have in the team.
Lendl Simmons: Lendl Simmons hasn’t got going yet, but 2 failures could propel him to do something magical in the outing against the Tridents. He was the top run-getter for his side, and second overall, in CPL 2019.
Colin Munro: Munro is a destructive player and can take the game away from the opponents in a jiffy. Munro had a good start in the first game but failed to capitalize. He made amends in the 2nd game as he struck 49* to guide his team to victory. He managed 231 runs in just 8 innings last season, while his records for 2018, 2017 and 2016 CPL read 567, 366, and 382 respectively.
Barbados Tridents
Rashid Khan: The Afghanistan leggie is one of the top T20 players in the world and has a stellar record across leagues and in T20Is. He is a pivotal figure for the Tridents and was their star player in their opener as he scored a quickfire 26*, and backed it up with 2 wickets to help his side defend the target. He took another 2 wickets in the second game, but couldn’t lead his side to victory.
Jason Holder: Sachin Tendulkar talked about how underrated Jason Holder is. Holder has been leading his side from the front and has had contributions, both with the bat and ball. Jason Holder was 4th in the list of highest wicket takers in CPL 2019 with 14 wickets. Although he didn’t pick up a wicket in the opener, he played a crucial knock, batting at No. 5, scoring a smashing 38. He played another cameo in the 2nd game, scoring 27 off just 12 balls.
Mitchell Santner: Barbados Tridents strength has been bowling and Mitchell Santner seemed to have further strengthened that, especially on this wicket. Santner was the Man of the Match in his side’s opener, where he picked up 2 wickets including a maiden, and scored 20 runs. He didn’t get a chance to bowl in the second game, but gave support to Ashley Nurse at the fag end of their batting innings.

TKR vs BAR Match Prediction:
Going by form, Trinbago Knight Riders seem to be the favourites, however, the recent record has been in the favour of Barbados Tridents. This is going to be a very close affair, however, Barbados Tridents might just trump the Knight Riders in case the complete game goes ahead. In a shortened game, the chasing team will have better odds.

Just 1 of the last 3 games has gone close, which was a low scoring affair, while the other two were lopsidedly in favour of Barbados Tridents who put big runs on the board. Going by the Trident’s batting performances, this might yet again be a close encounter with a not so high total, probably in the range of 140-150.
