Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) vs St Lucia Zouks (SLZ) in CPL
Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League will take place on August 26, 2020. Looking at the previous records of both the teams in this fixture and the overall performance of them in the tournament, Trinbago Knight Riders vs St Lucia Zouks does look like a mismatch with the former being the dominant side. TKR has lifted the cup thrice, whereas SLZ has not managed to reach a final even once. The head to head record to is clearly in favor of the side from Trinidad, as they have won 10 out of the 14 matches these two sides have played with each other. Clearly, the Darren Sammy-led SLZ is on the back-foot and would be hoping to come with better performance in this match.

SLZ will be relying on their star players like Kesrick Williams, Andre Fletcher, and Rakheem Cornwall to come up with top performances. The non-availability of South African players in this year’s CPL T20 has affected the Zouks the most, as they had three top players in the shape of Rilee Rossouw, Colin Ingram and Anrich Norje. However, Darren Sammy will have to inspire his side to churn out consistent performances this time around, especially in crucial fixtures like this. On the other hand, TKR is a balanced side with several proven match-winners in their side, like Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons, and Colin Munro.
It would be interesting to see how these sides, lying on the opposite sides of the spectrum, fare in this fixture. Will it be a one-sided affair or will the Zouks be able to pull off an upset? This also means that it should be fun to create the CPL Fantasy team from this fixture. To help you make the right decisions, we have mentioned some of the top performers in this fixture from previous seasons.
