Pitch and Weather Report
There are chances of scattered thunderstorms during the match timings. The rain might not ruin the whole game but there is a chance that we might have a shortened game.
The pitch is perfect for the batsmen in the day game and coincidentally almost all games for the Knight Riders were day games in this second leg at this venue. Both teams have good power-hitters who would enjoy the nature of the pitch.

Team News
Trinbago Knight Riders
Trinbago Knight Riders don’t know how to lose a game but they have to careful because sometimes we have seen teams win all their league games and then lose in the knockout stages. Many teams have failed at the wrong time and the Knight Riders have to keep this in mind.
Having said that, most of their players are in great form. Lendl Simmons has scored runs, Pollard won them a couple of games. Colin Munro and Darren Bravo have made some good contributions.
In the bowling department, the likes of Sikandar Raza and Dwayne Bravo have done their job well.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
Chris Lynn who couldn’t find form in the whole season was hitting it well in the last game before the match was called off due to rain. The Nevis Patriots haven’t performed well due to their batsmen. Most of their batsmen found it difficult on those slow wickets and as a result their team couldn’t get to decent totals.
Their bowling has done reasonably well. Rayad Emrit, their skipper, and Jon-Russ Jaggesar were the pick of the bowlers throughout the season.
