Caribbean T20 League 

Match 7: SLK vs TKR 

Preview 

SLK got off to a ghastly start as they were comprehensively beaten by the JAM in their opening tie. All the bowlers conceded a plethora of runs and there was no game plan against any batsman. Having said that, we do think they can make a strong comeback with this game and they have the players who are more than capable to inspire the unit. On the other hand, after losing their first fixture against GUY, reigning champions made an incredible resurgence and won their next game   against BR. Isuru Udana and Kieron Pollard were the chief architects of the six wicket thumping. Ahead of this all important tie, let’s have a thorough look at how these two units will shape up for tonight’s encounter

Match Prediction

SLK failed to get their team combination right in the opening tie and as a result were on the receiving end. Abysmal bowling more than anything was the major reason behind their dismal performance. Their opposition for tonight, TKR have enough depth in their squad to cut through any side. On paper, TKR are clearly favorites to win this match but we think that the Du Plessis led side will learn from their past mistakes and put on a good show. We predict the underdogs, SLK, to battle against all the odds and open their account in the league.
