Caribbean T20 League

 Match 9: SLK vs TKR

Preview

Match number 9 of the Caribbean T20 League will see SLK locking horns with defending champions TKR at the Warner Park. Reigning champions haven’t had the best of starts to the Caribbean T20 League this season. They have only managed to secure one win out of the three games they’ve played so far. A close game in their previous outing against the Kings saw them fall short of the target by just 5 runs. TKR failed to induce a positive result after getting anxiously close in pursuit of 158. Meanwhile, SLK will be happy to regain the win momentum after suffering a heavy loss earlier in the tournament. They won the last time these two times clashed in this edition. Not only this victory opened SLK’s account this season but will also act as a huge confidence booster coming into tonight’s tie. Despite being at the bottom of the table, SLK hold an edge over the reigning champions and will look to complete a double over them.

Pitch Report

The wicket has traditionally favoured the batsmen, but tends to wear out as the game progresses. Team batting first holds an upper hand, as they have 5 out of the 8 games played at this venue. So the team winning the coin toss should elect to bat first.

Match Prediction

Having won the previous encounter between these two sides, SLK will hold the upper hand over the defending champions and would look to complete a double over them. However, TKR has the resources to turn things around for the good. They have the likes of Pollard, Narine and Udana in their ranks who are beyond capable to outplay the opposition. We fancy TKR to win this one.
