Tridents looking to rebound in match 11

Today (Tuesday, 25 August) the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots take on the Barbados Tridents in the 11th match of CPL 2020 at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Trinidad.
The Patriots sit in the cellar of the points table, having lost all three of their games so far, while the Tridents are coming off successive losses to the Zouks and the Trinbago Knight Riders, and are placed fifth on the points’ table.
When these sides first met on the first day of this CPL 2020 tournament, the Tridents defeated the Patriots by six runs.
The Patriots were unable to chase down the Zouks’ total of 172 in their previous match. Their top order couldn’t create partnerships, and apart from Denesh Ramdin, there was no one to hold the innings together in their middle order. The likes of Ben Dunk and Kieran Powell let the side down.
Their bowling left much to be desired as well. Skipper Rayad Emrit and Jon-Russ Jaggesar bowled some good spells, but the other bowlers were very expensive, especially Sheldon Cottrell.
Nick Kelly could come in place of Joshua Da Silva in the side.

Predicted Playing XI:
Chris Lynn, Evin Lewis, Joshua Da Silva/Nick Kelly, Ben Dunk, Denesh Ramdin (wkpr), Kieran Powell, Rayad Emrit(C), Sohail Tanvir, Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Sheldon Cottrell, and Ish Sodhi.

Barbados Tridents
The mismanagement of bowlers in the last seven overs of the Barbados Tridents’ bowling innings led to their downfall. They conceded a whopping 98 runs in seven overs, and even economical bowlers like Mitchell Santner and Rashid Khan went for a lot of runs. Ashley Nurse was the only bowler who finished the game with good bowling figures.
Chasing a pretty high target, Johnson Charles gave the Tridents a good start, but was dismissed after the powerplay. Shai Hope’s struggles continued, as he made a paltry 36 runs in 39 balls in an innings which slowed the pace of the chase.
The middle-order failed to contribute yet again, as the Tridents succumbed to a 19-run loss despite a late surge from Holder and Nurse.
The misfiring Jonathan Carter should be considered for replacement by Shamarh Brooks in the team.

Predicted Playing XI:
Shai Hope (wkpr), Johnson Charles, Corey Anderson, Jonathan Carter/Shamarh Brooks, Kyle Mayers, Jason Holder (C), Rashid Khan, Ashley Nurse, Mitchell Santner, Raymon Reifer and Hayden Walsh Jr.

CPL match prediction
Despite their successive defeats, the Tridents are favourites to win this match because of the strength of their bowling attack and the misfiring Patriots’ top order.
Prediction: Barbados Tridents will win this CPL match.
