BT vs TKR Toss Prediction
The toss-winning team opted to bowl first in both the matches that have been played at this ground this season. Since the pitch is unlikely to change after the first period of play, the team that wins the toss here will probably continue the trend of bowling first.
BT vs TKR Weather Report
A full game of forty overs seems likely on the cards with no rain threat on Thursday evening. Clear skies with temperature around 27-28 degrees Celsius have been forecast for the match. Humidity is expected to be between 76% and 81%.
BT vs TKR Pitch Condition
The Kensington Oval has produced low to moderate totals in the two matches that it has hosted so far this CPL. Jamaica Tallawahs managed to defend 127 here last time out which shows that the pitch has plenty in it for the bowlers. Once again, batsmen may have to grind it out to score their runs.

BARBADOS TRIDENTS
Like the Zouks, Barbados Tridents too had a poor start to the tournament, but a couple of wins in between the losses has put them in a better position. In a total of five matches played, Zouks have won two, including the one against St Lucia Zouks, and lost three. Their exceptional net run-rate of +0.15 should put them in a pretty good position if things get tight towards the end of the league stage.
Barbados Tridents are coming off a loss in their most recent encounter wherein Guyana Amazon Warriors hammered them in a rain-curtailed game. Batting first, their batsmen failed to fire as they were all dismissed for a cumulative score of 138. JP Duminy top-scored for them with 32-ball 38-run knock.
It needed a special effort from their bowlers to restrict potent Warriors’ batting lineup to a lower total, but it was not to be. Jason Holder, Sandeep Lamichhane, and JP Duminy bowled in tight and accurate channels, but they too could not keep Brandon King from scoring quickly. Warriors eventually won the match by 12 runs before the rain arrived and the result was decided based on Duckworth-Lewis method.
Barbados Tridents Predicted Playing 11:
Johnson Charles (wk), Alex Hales, Justin Greaves, Jean-Paul Duminy, Jonathan Carter, Jason Holder (c), Roshon Primus, Ashley Nurse, Raymon Reifer, Sandeep Lamichhane, Harry Gurney.
TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS
Trinbago Knight Riders started their campaign with remarkable grace, winning all of their first four matches, but a couple of unfavorable results has put them in a bit of spot of bother. Although they are still the favorites to qualify for the playoffs among the remaining teams, another loss here would undoubtedly send the alarm bells ringing in their camp.
They are currently placed at the second spot in the points table with four wins in a total of six matches played. They’ve been reasonably dominant, second only to Guyana Amazon Warriors, and have a superb net run-rate of 0.97. Their previous game, against St Lucia Zouks, was washed out due to rain whereas they failed to win the one-over eliminator in the match before.
Against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, their batsmen did superbly, riding on Lendl Simmons’ fantastic 90. He was ably assisted by the batsmen to follow as the Knight Riders smashed 216 runs batting first. While their batting was pretty good, it was their bowling where they faltered. It should have been a straight-forward defense for them, but the absence of Mohammad Hasnain was clearly felt as the Patriots managed to level the score before taking the two crucial points by winning the all-important super over.
Trinbago Knight Riders Predicted Playing 11:
Lendl Simmons, Colin Munro, Kieron Pollard (c), Darren Bravo, James Neesham, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Seekkuge Prasanna, Akeal Hosein, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Ali Khan.

MATCH PREDICTION
It is an important game for both the sides, for different reasons though. A win for Trinbago Knight Riders will almost ascertain a playoff berth for them whereas Barbados Tridents will be fighting for their survival in the tournament. The Tridents have so far failed to perform up to their potential, and it won’t be easy for them to do so, especially against one of the better performing teams of the tournament. Trinbago Knight Riders, on the other hand, have done pretty well so far and have also added Chris Jordan to bolster their bowling attack. Comparing the two sides, the Knight Riders have done well in the tournament on the whole, but their performance in their last two matches was ordinary at best. Barbados Tridents, on the other hand, will be relived with their stalwarts’ return to form and considering the value they offer with fantastic odds, they are our pick to emerge on top on Friday
