St Kitts and Nevis Patriots top picks vs Trinbago Knight Riders CPL 2022
Evin Lewis: The 30-year-old opening batter was in great touch in the Caribbean Premier League last season, scoring 426 runs, including three half-centuries and one century, at an average of 47.33 and a strike-rate of 163.21. Lewis will have the responsibility of providing the team with fast starts and setting the platform to outscore the opposition.
Dwayne Bravo: One of the finest all-rounders of his generation in the T20 format, Bravo is the first player to have scored more than 6000 runs and taken more than 400 wickets in this format. He has taken three wickets in two matches in CPL 2022 and his pace variation will be key to restricting the opposition with the ball in the death overs.
Trinbago Knight Riders top picks vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots CPL 2022
Nicholas Pooran: The West Indian wicketkeeper batter has amassed 4809 runs in 242 T20 matches, including 26 fifties and one hundred. Pooran was in great form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, scoring 306 runs in 14 matches at an average of 38.25 and a strike-rate of 144.33. Pooran’s swashbuckling style of batting will be key to the Knight Riders in the middle overs to up the ante.
Andre Russell: Trinbago Knight Riders will depend on the all-round ability of Russell in the Caribbean Premier League to provide them with regular wickets with the ball and smash the opposition bowlers out of the ground with the bat. The 34-year-old West Indian smashed 160 runs and took 11 wickets in CPL 2021.
