ST KITTS AND NEVIS PATRIOTS FORM: PATRIOTS ON TWO POINTS TO START THEIR CAMPAIGN
The confidence that will have been gained through winning such a close opening game by just one wicket will have done wonders for the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots dressing room. Now they’ll hope to catch Trinbago cold with them having already competing and the Knight Riders competing in their first game of the season.
TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS FORM: RUNNERS-UP LAST YEAR WANT TO TAKE THAT NEXT STEP
Trinbago Knight Riders were so close yet so far to the 2023 title, beaten by Guyana Amazon Warriors in a final that they’ll still be frustrated about. Bowled out for just 94 batting first, the game was over at the half-way point with Guyana ultimately winning comfortably by nine wickets.
ST KITTS AND NEVIS PATRIOTS BETTING ANALYSIS
West Indies international Kyle Mayers was always likely to be a huge important piece in this St Kitts and Nevis Patriots batting line-up and he proved so in their opening game, top-scoring with 39 from 24 balls. Form in the early part of this tournament can go a long way to ensuring success and backing Mayers to follow that innings up with another score of 20+ runs here has to be favoured.
TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS BETTING ANALYSIS
Trinbago Knight Riders boast arguably the best T20 batter in the world right now at their disposal in Nicholas Pooran, which immediately gives them a huge leg-up on the rest of their competition. Whether it be for his country, or whichever franchise side he represents across the world, Pooran finds a way to blast runs and he is well worth backing to carry that on in his home T20 tournament. Consider a stake on Pooran to finish as Trinbago’s top batter against the Patriots.
ST KITTS AND NEVIS PATRIOTS VS TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS EXPERT PREDICTION
Which Trinbago Knight Riders definitely have the batting firepower to cause St Kitts and Nevis Patriots huge problems, it could take them time to really hit their stride. The Patriots meanwhile, have momentum in their favour, especially after coming out the right end of such a close battle with the Falcons.
It would be no surprise to see them ride that momentum right into this next match and really unsettle Trinbago with their aggression. It’s never easy facing a team who have already played on the park together and therefore, look at backing St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to edge out the Knight Riders.
