SKN vs BAR Dream 11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for St Kitts Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Tridents 26th CPL match. We are covering SKN vs BAR Dream 11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the CPL T20 match. The match is to be played at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots can seal their entry into the playoffs if they manage to beat Barbados Tridents. Patriots have four wins from nine matches and a win against Tridents here will result in Trident’s elimination from the playoff race. BT are currently at the bottom off the table and need a lot of luck to make it to the playoffs.

SKN Patriots pulled off a win against Jamaica Tallawahs in the rain-curtailed match. Batting first, Tallawahs scored 206 in their first innings with only Ben Cutting (29/2) from Patriots making an impression. Patriots scored 118 from 10 overs, Gayle 41(24), Dussen 45(24) and Mahmudullah 28(11) and managed a seven-wicket win.

The Tridents conceded six-wicket defeat against St Lucia Stars in their last match. The batsmen once again struggled and could only score 135/7 in their batting effort. Amla top-scored with a slow 35(34). Despite M Irfan’s 22/2, Stars cruised to a win with 15 balls remaining.
