With just 2 wins in 6 games, Barbados Tridents are at the fifth place of the points table while Trinbago Knight Riders have lost just one game in their six outings. TKR stays at the second place with 9 points, as their one game against St Lucia Zouks was washed out due to the rain. TKR was spotless till they played their fifth game which they lost to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the super-over.
At Bridgetown, despite home conditions, Barbados Tridents have lost two games, and it is going to be an uphill task for the Tridents to break the jinx against the table-topper Knight Riders.

During the early phase of the tournament, Barbados Tridents looked in good touch, winning two of their first four matches. However, at their home ground, Bridgetown, they lost two back to back games at the hands of Amazon Warriors and Jamaica Tallawahs, which pushed them to the fifth position in the points table. They have 4 more games to go, out of which 3 matches are scheduled at Bridgetown.
The Tridents clearly lack solid batting performances, as out of 6 matches, barring two occasions, the team’s total score did not cross 140. Also, none of their batsmen is present in the most-runs list of CPL 2019. Jean-Paul Duminy and Johnson Charles are their key run scorers, both scored 153 runs in past six innings and their strike rate are around 120. With 8 wickets in 6 matches, Sandeep Lamichhane holds the 8th rank, while Holder is the second most successful bowler in CPL 2019 in terms of wickets.
Barbados Tridents were hapless not to win their previous game against Jamaica Tallawahs. Reifer, Holder and Lamichhane took two wickets each to restrict Jamaica to just 127 runs. While chasing, they fell short of just 5 runs to earn their first win at home after quickfire 26 off 12 from Raymon Reifer lower down the order. After Reifer’s exit in the last over, BT needed 6 runs in last two balls, but Lamichhane couldn’t score a run in any of the balls. Their bowlers and batsmen need to work collectively and collaboratively to defeat the teams like TKR.

Trinbago Knight Riders look in form, as they won 4 out of 6 games, though the numbers could have been 5 out of 6 games, as a relatively easy game with St Lucia Zouks was washed out due to the rain. Their batsmen, especially Lendl Simmons and Colin Munro, are in supreme touch. The team crossed 150 runs in every game they played in this season and crossed 200 twice in their 6 games.
In the previous match against St Lucia Zouks, the bowlers had taken four wickets, giving away 99 runs in 12.2 overs, before the rain stopped the play. TKR's only loss came at the hands of STKNP at Basseterre, even after scoring 216 runs powered by Simmons’ 45 balls 90. STKNP could level the score in their regular 20 overs run-chase, after which TKR finally lost their first game of CPL 2019 in the super over.
Lendl Simmons is the key batsman for TKR, with 261 runs in past six innings, followed by Colin Munro who made 227 in past 7 innings. Both carry 50 plus averages and 140 plus strike rates. James Neesham (9 wickets in past 6 innings) and Khary Pierre (9 wickets in past 9 games) lead the bowling unit for TKR.

Out of 17 T20 international matches played here, 12 are won by the team batting first, 5 by the team chasing, while 1 match was abandoned. On Friday, the weather will be light rain shower with the daytime temperature reaching 29 °c. Nighttime temperature is expected to be 27 °c
The venue for this match is Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. The average 1st innings score here is 144 and the average second innings score is 125. The highest Total here is 195 and the lowest total is 80.
So far in this season, two games are played here, and the captains have opted to field first after winning the toss on both the occasions. Considering chances of rain, the team winning the toss should opt to field first.
Considering the great form TKR have on the CPL 2019 edition, the team will be a clear favorite for the win. Their batsmen have performed amazing so far this season. Barbados Tridents are lacking firepower, in addition, their bowling department has failed to impress. Would be a hard stretch for the Tridents to win this game.
We predict that Trinbago Knight Riders will defeat Barbados Tridents!
