Toss and teams in a bit.
CPL is going along at a rapid pace and we are now at the business end of the tournament. TKR will be facing St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The former have already qualified whereas the latter has already been knockout of the tournament. TKR though still has a lot to play for, they are currently 4th in the table and a win for them will see them go equal on points with the team at number two. They'll know how important it is to finish on top and hence, they'll be eager to win this game. Not only that, they head into this one on the back of a defeat so they'll also be looking to get back to winning ways. 
... MATCH DAY ...
The 25th game of the Caribbean Premier League 2024, will see the Trinbago Knight Riders face against the struggling St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The latter sit at the bottom of the standings with just one win in nine matches. The Knight Riders, looking to bounce back after a loss to the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Kieron Pollard's team have suffered their second loss of the season against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, going down by 6 wickets. As pre-tournament favorites, they will aim to bounce back and secure a playoff spot. The opening duo of Sunil Narine and Shaqkere Parris has struggled, and the team is looking for a solid start. Nicholas Pooran is expected to stabilize the middle order alongside Keacy Carty and Tim David, while Pollard and Andre Russell add significant firepower to the batting lineup. On the bowling front, the Knight Riders hope to exploit the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots' weak batting. Akeal Hosein is in good form and will seek early wickets with Andre Russell. Sunil Narine and Waqar Salamkheil will aim to control the middle overs, supported by Chris Jordan and Joshua Little in the attack. On the flip side, Andre Fletcher's team has had a disappointing season, winning only once in nine matches and being eliminated from playoff contention. After a poor performance in their last game, losing by 30 runs to the Guyana Amazon Warriors, they will aim to end the season positively. Fletcher and Evin Lewis are expected to lead the batting, with support needed from struggling middle-order players like Kyle Mayers and Rilee Rossouw. The bowling attack has shown promise, and Ashmead Need and Kyle Mayers need to perform well with the new ball against in-form TKR batters. Anrich Nortje and Dominic Drakes must focus on accuracy in the middle overs, while the team looks for impactful performances from Tabraiz Shamsi and Ryan John. The Patriots will attempt to upset the Knight Riders and end their season on a positive note. So, which side are you backing?
