TKR vs BAR Dream11 team prediction, match preview and probable playing XI of the 23rd match of CPL 2019. Barbados Tridents will take on the Trinbago Knight Riders in the twenty-third T20 of CPL 2019 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
Trinbago Knight Riders are second on the points table with four victories and one loss. Their only loss came in second last match where they lost to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in a super over. Their last game was washed out due to rain. However, In the 12-overs of play, Riders restricted St Lucia Zouks on 99 runs with Ali Khan, Pollard, Khary Pierre and Jimmy Neesham taking one scalp each.
Their batsmen have performed consistently for the team, but bowlers have failed to chip in with wickets and control their economy. However, With the signing of Chris Jordan, They will like to find an appropriate team balance and continue their good run in CPL 2019.
Barbados Tridents are second last on the points table with two wins in six matches. They have failed to perform in unison as a team. Moreover, Their batsmen are also in poor form, putting extra pressure on bowlers. They lost their last match to Jamaica Tallawahs by 5 runs.
Bowling first, Jason Holder continued his excellent form with the ball taking two scalps along with Lamichhane and Raymon Reifer to restrict Tallawahs at 127. In the chase, Johnson Charles and Alex Hales got handy starts scoring 31 and 16 runs, but the middle order failed to deliver. Raymon Reifer showed good spirit at the end scoring 26 runs from 12 balls but was ultimately left behind by five runs. With four more matches left for Tridents, They still have a chance to make it to the next stage and will hope to put a disciplined effort with the bat as well as the ball.
