Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Betting Odds
Saint Lucia Kings to score more boundaries than Trinbago Knight Riders
One of the main reasons for Trinbago Knight Rider’s dismal campaign has been their inefficiency to score boundaries and sixes which is one of the most important elements in T20 format. Trinbago Knight Riders scored 65 boundaries in nine games last year which was the lowest among all teams averaging 7.22 boundaries a game. On the other hand Saint Lucia Kings managed to score 112 boundaries last year averaging 11.2 boundaries a game which is much higher than their opponent. This season, St Lucia Kings have already managed to score 27 boundaries in the first two games and in the last fixture against Barbados Royal, St Lucia Kings managed to out score their opponent 14-3 which makes us believe they would score more boundaries than Trinbago Knight Riders in the upcoming fixture.
Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Top Team Batters
Sean Williams to be Saint Lucia Kings's top batter
Sean Williams has had a great start to the tournament and after two games is the leading run scorer for St Lucia Kings thus far. Williams managed to score 26 and 47 and was the top scorer in the last game against Barbados Royals which makes him our top pick for the game.
Nicholas Pooran to be Trinbago Knight Riders’s top batter
Nicholas Pooran wowed us with his majestic batting display in Major League Cricket and was the top scorer in the tournament. Pooran’s debut for Trinbago Riders has been delayed as the first two games were washed out but we believe Pooran would play a key role for his side in the tournament and is our top pick in the upcoming game.
Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Top Team Bowlers
Matthew Forde to be Saint Lucia Kings’s top bowler
Matthew Forde has had a steady start to the season as he ended up with 1/22 in the season opener and was the most effective bowler in the last game against Barbados Royals as he ended up with 3/12 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming fixture.
Sunil Narine to be Trinbago Knight Riders’s top bowler
It's always safe to go with the top bowler in the opening game. If there is one man who can change Trinbago Knight Rider’s fortunes it would be Sunil Narine who has showcased his prowess in every T20 tournament he has played this year. We believe Narine could be the inspiration that Trinbago Knight Riders lacked last year and would be our top pick in the upcoming game.
