Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Kings Predictions

The St Lucia Kings started slowly but have hit great form, winning their last three matches on the bounce to go second on the table, behind the Knight Riders. I’m going to back the Knight RIders as they have won five in a row and have a potent top order.

Trinbago Knight Riders’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 34, 23*, 65 & 52 in his last 5 innings.
Trinbago Knight Riders’ Kieron Pollard hit eight sixes in his 29-ball 65 against the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.
St Lucia Kings’ Tim Seifert hit nine sixes in his 53-ball 125* against the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons.
St Lucia Kings’ Ackeem Auguste has scored 20*, 73, & 29 in his last 4 innings.
