Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will be keen to avoid another defeat at the hands of Saint Lucia Kings when they face Faf du Plessis led team in match 9 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2021. The defending champions have two points from three games, while Saint Luca Kings registered their first win of the season on Sunday.
Tim Seifert’s 16-ball 40* went in vain as Trinbago Knight Riders fell to a five-run defeat against Saint Lucia Kings in their last game. Ravi Rampaul and Jayden Seales shone with the ball. However, the Trinbago Knight Riders batters struggled to find the boundaries, and the asking rate climbed up. Despite scoring 44 runs in the last three overs, they succumbed to another defeat.
Roston Chase and Tim David were impressive in Saint Lucia Kings’ thrilling win over Trinbago Knight Riders. The duo put together a crucial 68-run stand for the fifth wicket. Chase picked up the wicket of opener Tion Webster and conceded just 17 runs in his four overs. Wahab Riaz, who conceded 61 runs off his four overs against Jamaica Tallawahs, successfully defended 14 runs off the final six balls to help his team get off the mark in the tournament.
