CPL 2024- Trinbago Knight Riders vs Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, Match 8 Preview
In the eight match of the Caribbean Premier League 2024, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will lock horns with Trinbago Knight Riders at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Friday (IST). The two teams have had contrasting fortunes so far, this season.
Trinbago Knight Riders, though, have only played a game but won that by a significant margin. They are coming on the back of a 44-run win over St. Kitts and would look to continue the winning momentum.
On the other hand, the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have played four matches but failed to win a single contest. Looking at their current form, it would be really difficult for them to go past a team like Trinbago Knight Riders.
Trinbago Kngiht Riders Review:
Nicholas Pooran, the man in form, has shown his intentions in the first game itself. He played a match-winning knock of 97 off 43 to steer the team to a mammoth score of 250 on the board. Keacy Carty also showed his big-hitting prowess as he blazed his way to 73 runs off just 35 balls and remained unbeaten in the end.
Earlier, it was Sunil Narine, who provided the team a brilliant start with a solid knock of 38 off 19. Besides, they have likes of Jason Roy and Kieron Pollard, who have the potential to single handedly take the game away.
In the bowling front, the players put on a combined effort. The likes of Joshua Little, Sunil Narine, and Waqar picked two wickets each. Having said that, the pacers proved expensive and should look to address concerns they it seemed any.
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Review:
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons are searching for their first win and look in really disappointing form. The Falcons haven’t found a match-winner with the bat who can score runs consistently. The onus will be on Fakhar Zaman, Jewl Andrew, and Imade Wasim, who are among the runs but haven’t been too consistent.
Sam Billings also need to step up to the plate if he wants his team to fetch their first win.
In the bowling front, the spin trio of Chris Green, Imad Wasim, and Fabien Allen have done well. However, the pacers have got plenty. Mohammed Ami has gone over 10 runs an over and has managed to pick just one wicket in four matches.
